It measures specialized content knowledge across Qur'an and tafsir, hadith sciences, aqidah (tawhid), fiqh, seerah and Islamic history, akhlaq, classroom pedagogy, and assessment aligned to Saudi Ministry Islamic 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.
