About the Arabic License (STT) Exam
The Saudi Specialized Professional License Test in Arabic is the ETEC/Qiyas subject-knowledge licensure examination for Arabic language teachers seeking the professional teaching license. It measures specialized content knowledge across nahw (grammar), sarf (morphology), balagha (rhetoric), Arabic literature, reading and writing pedagogy, Arabic linguistics, and classroom assessment aligned to Saudi Arabic curriculum expectations and teacher professional standards, alongside the separate general pedagogical licensure component. This free practice bank offers 100 multiple-choice questions for STT preparation.
Assessment
Saudi professional licensure for Arabic language teachers is administered by Qiyas under ETEC. Candidates generally must meet Ministry eligibility requirements and pass a general pedagogical MCQ test (GTT) plus a specialized Arabic subject-knowledge MCQ test (STT). Tests are computer-based multiple-choice exams registered through Qiyas e-services. This bank targets the Arabic specialization STT, not the separate GTT.
Time Limit
Commonly about two hours of answering time for Qiyas professional tests, plus early arrival for identity verification; confirm the duration shown for your registered session.
Passing Score
Older licensing documentation cited 50% on subject and pedagogical components; current prep sources often cite about 60% per component. A single fixed public pass mark for the Arabic STT was not confirmed on the official pages reviewed for this bank. Verify the current standard in Qiyas e-services.
Exam Fee
Commonly reported at about 100 SAR per licensure test component, with higher fees sometimes cited for repeat attempts. Confirm the current fee in the Qiyas e-services portal before payment. (National Center for Assessment (Qiyas), under the Education and Training Evaluation Commission (ETEC))
