1A car travels 120 km in 2 hours. What is its average speed?
A.60 km/h
B.240 km/h
C.30 km/h
D.120 km/h
Explanation: Average speed equals total distance divided by total time: 120 km ÷ 2 h = 60 km/h.
2Which quantity is a vector?
A.Displacement
B.Speed
C.Distance
D.Time
Explanation: Displacement has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector. Speed and distance are scalars.
3An object in uniform motion has:
A.Constant velocity
B.Increasing acceleration
C.Decreasing speed
D.Zero mass
Explanation: Uniform motion means constant velocity—equal speed in a straight line with zero acceleration.
4The slope of a position-time graph represents:
A.Velocity
B.Acceleration
C.Force
D.Displacement
Explanation: The slope of position versus time gives the rate of change of position, which is velocity.
5A ball is thrown straight upward. At the highest point, its velocity is:
A.Zero
B.Maximum
C.Equal to acceleration
D.Negative and increasing
Explanation: At the peak, instantaneous velocity is zero before the ball reverses direction downward.
6Which unit is SI for acceleration?
A.m/s²
B.m/s
C.N
D.kg
Explanation: Acceleration is change in velocity per unit time, so SI units are meters per second squared.
7Relative motion means describing motion with respect to a:
A.Reference frame
B.Fixed mass
C.Gravitational constant
D.Temperature scale
Explanation: All motion is measured relative to a chosen reference frame, such as the ground or a moving vehicle.
8If a runner completes one lap around a 400 m circular track in 50 s, the distance is 400 m and the displacement is:
A.0 m
B.400 m
C.200 m
D.800 m
Explanation: After one full lap the runner returns to the starting point, so displacement is zero.
9An object moving with constant acceleration of 2 m/s² starts from rest. Its velocity after 5 s is:
A.10 m/s
B.2.5 m/s
C.7 m/s
D.25 m/s
Explanation: Use v = u + at with u = 0: v = 2 × 5 = 10 m/s.
10The area under a velocity-time graph gives:
A.Displacement
B.Acceleration
C.Force
D.Power
Explanation: Integrating velocity over time yields displacement (or the magnitude of change in position).

About the Physics License (STT) Exam

The Saudi Specialized Professional License Test in Physics is the ETEC/Qiyas subject-knowledge licensure examination for physics teachers seeking the professional teaching license. It measures deep physics content knowledge across mechanics, forces and energy, electricity and magnetism, waves and optics, thermodynamics, modern physics, measurement and laboratory skills, and physics pedagogy aligned to Saudi secondary physics standards—distinct from the integrated general science STT. This free practice bank offers 100 multiple-choice questions for STT preparation.

Assessment

Saudi professional licensure for physics 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 physics subject-knowledge MCQ test (STT). Tests are computer-based multiple-choice exams registered through Qiyas e-services. This specialization is distinct from the integrated general science STT and from separate chemistry or biology specialist licensure tests.

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 physics 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))

Physics License (STT) Study Tips from Top Performers

1Review secondary physics domains—mechanics, electricity, waves, thermodynamics, and modern physics—then practise timed MCQs to match Qiyas pacing.
2Do not neglect the separate general pedagogical licensure component (GTT) if your eligibility requires both tests; this bank practises only the physics STT specialization.
3Rebuild weak areas systematically: if you miss circuit or wave optics items, revisit those units before moving to modern physics or pedagogy questions.
4Practise under timed conditions with roughly 1–2 minutes per item to match the pacing of Qiyas professional computerized tests.
5Connect content review to pedagogy and lab-safety items—know common student misconceptions (e.g., constant velocity requires continuous force) and effective inquiry-based responses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who needs the Saudi specialized physics professional license test?

The physics licensure pathway targets teachers of physics in Saudi public schools who must meet ETEC/Qiyas professional license requirements alongside Ministry eligibility rules. Teachers of integrated general science or other single sciences may sit different STT exams. Confirm your category in Qiyas e-services.

How is this different from the general science license test?

The physics STT emphasizes deep single-discipline content—mechanics, electricity, waves, thermodynamics, modern physics, and physics pedagogy. The general science STT tests integrated breadth across biology, chemistry, physics, and earth science at a shallower depth per discipline.

Is there only one test for the professional license?

No. Saudi teacher licensure commonly requires a general pedagogical multiple-choice test (GTT) plus a specialized subject-knowledge test (STT) in physics. This practice bank focuses on the physics specialization, not the separate general pedagogical component.

How many questions are on the live STT physics exam?

Public prep materials for specialized teacher tests often describe roughly 60–88 items in a timed computerized session. ETEC does not always publish one fixed count on the main pages reviewed for this bank. This free practice set has 100 physics MCQs.

What is the passing score and exam fee?

Older documentation cited 50% on subject and pedagogical components; current prep sources often cite about 60% per component and about 100 SAR per test. These figures were not confirmed as a single stable public table on the official Qiyas pages reviewed for this bank. Always verify current rules in Qiyas e-services before registering.
