1In the Compulsory Arabic Language (اللغة العربية) paper, what is the grammatical analysis (إعراب) of «مُجَهَّزًا» in the sentence «أَصْبَحَ المُخْتَبَرُ مُجَهَّزًا بِالأَجْهِزَةِ الحَدِيثَةِ»?
A.خبر أصبح منصوب وعلامة نصبه الفتحة الظاهرة
B.اسم أصبح مرفوع وعلامة رفعه الضمة الظاهرة
C.حال منصوبة من كلمة المختبر
D.مفعول به منصوب للفعل أصبح
Explanation: Asbaha is one of the sisters of kana (أخوات كان), which enters upon a nominal sentence, keeps the subject (المختبرُ) in the nominative as its ism, and places the predicate (مجهَّزًا) in the accusative as its khabar.
2In «يَجِبُ عَلَى البَاحِثِينَ أَنْ يُدَقِّقُوا فِي النَّتَائِجِ», how is the subjunctive mood (النصب) of the verb «يُدَقِّقُوا» marked after «أَنْ»?
A.بالفتحة الظاهرة على آخره
B.بحذف النون لأنه من الأفعال الخمسة
C.بحذف حرف العلة من آخره
D.بالضمة المقدرة على الواو
Explanation: The verb yudaqqiqu is an imperfect verb attached to the plural waw (واو الجماعة), making it one of the five verb forms (الأفعال الخمسة). When governed by the subjunctive particle an, its subjunctive marker is the deletion of the final nun (حذف النون).
3In the sentence «بِالعِلْمِ يَتَقَدَّمُ المُجْتَمَعُ فِي الرَّخَاءِ، وَبِالجَهْلِ يَتَأَخَّرُ فِي الشَّقَاءِ», which rhetorical figure from ilm al-badi (علم البديع) is created by contrasting two ordered sequences of meanings?
A.جناس تام
B.تورية
C.مقابلة
D.اقتباس
Explanation: Muqabala (المقابلة) sets two or more meanings in the first clause (العلم، يتقدم، الرخاء) against their corresponding opposites in order in the second clause (الجهل، يتأخر، الشقاء).
4Read this Arabic scientific prose statement: «إِنَّ التَّطْعِيمَ الوِقَائِيَّ يُكْسِبُ الجِسْمَ مَنَاعَةً مُبَكِّرَةً، فَيُقَلِّلُ مِنْ خَطَرِ الإِصَابَةِ بِالأَوْبِئَةِ قَبْلَ انْتِشَارِهَا». Which statement accurately expresses its central idea?
A.Vaccination is administered only after an epidemic has completely ended
B.Preventive vaccination replaces the need for clean water and hospital sanitation
C.Vaccination treats people who are already seriously ill with an epidemic disease
D.Preventive vaccination builds early immunity and lowers the risk of infection
Explanation: The passage links preventive vaccination (التطعيم الوقائي) to acquiring early immunity (مناعة مبكرة), which in turn lowers the risk of contracting epidemic diseases before they spread.
5In the Compulsory Arabic Language (اللغة العربية) paper, what is the grammatical function of «كِتَابًا» in the question «كَمْ كِتَابًا قَرَأْتَ فِي العُطْلَةِ؟»?
A.مفعول به منصوب للفعل قرأتَ
B.تمييز منصوب لـ«كم» الاستفهامية
C.حال منصوبة من فاعل قرأتَ
D.مضاف إليه مجرور بعد «كم»
Explanation: «كَمْ» here is an interrogative noun asking about number (كم الاستفهامية); it is built on sukun and occupies the position of a fronted direct object of «قَرَأْتَ». Its vagueness is resolved by a singular indefinite accusative noun, so «كِتَابًا» is its تمييز منصوب.
6In the sentence «رُصِدَتِ الكَوَاكِبُ البَعِيدَةُ بِالمِنْظَارِ الفَلَكِيِّ رَصْدًا دَقِيقًا», what are the grammatical roles of «الكَوَاكِبُ» and «رَصْدًا» respectively?
A.فاعل مرفوع؛ ومفعول لأجله منصوب
B.نائب فاعل مرفوع؛ ومفعول مطلق مبيِّن للنوع
C.مفعول به منصوب؛ وتمييز ملحوظ منصوب
D.مبتدأ مؤخر مرفوع؛ وحال مفردة منصوبة
Explanation: Because the verb rusidat (رُصِدَت) is built in the passive voice (مبني للمجهول), the original direct object al-kawakibu becomes the nominative deputy agent (نائب فاعل مرفوع). The verbal noun rasdan followed by the adjective daqiqan shares the verb's root and clarifies how the observation occurred, making it a type-specifying cognate accusative (مفعول مطلق مبيِّن للنوع).
7In the expression «أَلْقَى المُهَنْدِسُ كَلِمَةً فِي مُؤْتَمَرِ الطَّاقَةِ» where «كَلِمَةً» (literally 'a single word') is used to mean a full technical speech, how is «كَلِمَةً» classified in ilm al-bayan (علم البيان)?
A.تشبيه مفصل ذُكرت فيه الأركان الأربعة
B.استعارة مكنية حُذف فيها المشبه به
C.مجاز مرسل علاقته الجزئية (أُطلق الجزء وأُريد الكل)
D.تشبيه ضمني يفهم من السياق
Explanation: Using kalima ('a word', the part) to denote a complete speech or address (الخطبة أو المحاضرة, the whole) relies on a non-similarity part-whole relationship, which defines synecdoche/metonymy with a partitive relation (مجاز مرسل علاقته الجزئية).
8In the verse «وَمَا كُلُّ بَرْقٍ لَاحَ فِي الجَوِّ مَاطِرًا *** وَمَا كُلُّ مَنْ قَالَ المَقَالَ فَعُولُ», which rhetorical device links the two hemistichs?
A.استعارة تصريحية حُذف فيها المشبه
B.كناية عن نسبة
C.تورية لفظية في كلمة برق
D.تشبيه ضمني يُفهم من السياق دون أداة تشبيه صريحة
Explanation: The poet states a human observation—that not everyone who speaks follows through with action—and pairs it with an illustrative natural phenomenon—that not every flash of lightning in the sky brings rain—without an explicit simile particle, forming an implicit simile (تشبيه ضمني).
9Consider the classical wisdom verse: «بِقَدْرِ الكَدِّ تُكْتَسَبُ المَعَالِي *** وَمَنْ طَلَبَ العُلَا سَهِرَ اللَّيَالِي». What relationship does the poet establish between «الكَدّ» and «المَعَالِي»?
A.Lofty achievements are earned in proportion to diligent effort and perseverance
B.High distinction is granted by luck without study or effort
C.Staying awake at night guarantees success even when a student avoids working
D.Excellence is reserved for students who study only at night
Explanation: Bi-qadri al-kaddi tuktasabu al-ma'ali states that noble attainments are acquired in proportion to hard work, and the second hemistich reinforces that whoever seeks excellence endures sleepless effort.
10Read: «تَتَمَدَّدُ المَعَادِنُ بِالحَرَارَةِ وَتَنْكَمِشُ بِالبُرُودَةِ؛ وَلِهَذَا يَتْرُكُ المُهَنْدِسُونَ فَوَاصِلَ صَغِيرَةً بَيْنَ قُضْبَانِ السِّكَكِ الحَدِيدِيَّةِ». What semantic relation does the clause after «وَلِهَذَا» have to the preceding clause?
A.It contradicts the physical property described in the first clause
B.It states a practical engineering application of the law in the first clause
C.It restricts thermal expansion solely to non-metallic materials
D.It provides a purely poetic metaphor with no literal engineering meaning
Explanation: Wa-li-hadha signals a causal result: because metals expand when heated and contract when cooled, engineers leave expansion gaps between railway rails to prevent buckling.

About the Sudan School Certificate — Science Stream Exam

Independent English-language MCQ study adaptation for the Sudan School Certificate Science Stream (المساق العلمي). It covers the six compulsory Science-route papers (Arabic, Islamic or Christian Religious Education, English, Specialized Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry) plus all five seventh-subject options listed in the 2025 examination guide (Biology, Computer Science, Engineering Sciences, Family Sciences, and Art and Design) without repeating items from the individual subject banks. Confirmed paper languages include Arabic and English. This resource is not an official translation or format simulation and does not replace handwritten derivations, chemical equations, ray/circuit/orthographic diagrams, or essay writing.

Exam sponsor: Ministry of National Education (وزارة التعليم والتربية الوطنية); General Directorate of Measurement, Evaluation and Examinations (الإدارة العامة للقياس والتقويم والامتحانات), Sudan. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

The published 2025 National Centre examination guide defines the Science stream (المساق العلمي) combination as seven separate 100-mark written papers: (1) Arabic Language, (2) Religious Education (Islamic Education or Christian Education — not exclusively the Islamic paper), (3) English Language, (4) Specialized Mathematics (الرياضيات المتخصصة), (5) Physics (الفيزياء), (6) Chemistry (الكيمياء), and (7) one optional seventh subject chosen from five listed options in the guide: Biology (الأحياء), Computer Science (علوم الحاسوب), Engineering Sciences (العلوم الهندسية), Family Sciences (العلوم الأسرية), or Art and Design (الفنون والتصميم). Each candidate sits one seventh-subject option rather than all optional sciences, and degree-specific university admission subject rules in the 2026-2027 Ministry of Higher Education admission guide (for example, Biology for medicine/life-science faculties vs Engineering/Computer/Family Sciences for engineering and technical faculties) should be checked separately. The April 2026 timetable, issued under the Sudan Examinations Council (مجلس امتحانات السودان), states that each candidate sits seven subjects only. Christian Education questions are printed in Arabic and English on the same paper and candidates answer in one language; the 2025 guide deletes the chemical equilibrium and nuclear chemistry units from Chemistry and electronics from Engineering Sciences; and Art and Design is mainly practical (90 of 100 marks).

Frequently Asked Questions

Does every Science-stream candidate sit Biology, Computer Science, and Engineering Sciences?

No. Every Science-stream candidate sits the six compulsory papers (Arabic, Religious Education, English, Specialized Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry) plus ONE seventh-subject option chosen from the five options listed in the 2025 examination guide: Biology, Computer Science, Engineering Sciences, Family Sciences, or Art and Design.

Why are Family Sciences and Art and Design included in the Science-stream seventh-subject section?

The published 2025 National Centre examination guide explicitly lists five seventh-subject options for the Science stream: Biology, Computer Science, Engineering Sciences, Family Sciences (العلوم الأسرية), and Art and Design (الفنون والتصميم). Candidates should also check the 2026-2027 Ministry of Higher Education admission guide to verify which seventh subject qualifies for their target university faculty.

Is Religious Education in the Science stream limited to Islamic Education?

No. Candidates fulfill the Religious Education requirement through either Islamic Education (التربية الإسلامية) or Christian Education (التربية المسيحية), both of which have 100-mark specifications in the 2025 guide.

Are a combined Science-stream sitting fee, pass mark, or single sitting duration verified?

No. Papers are sat on separate days on the national timetable, and sitting fees, pass marks, total subitem counts, and detailed eligibility rules remain unverified in the accessed primary sources.
