1Which ruler of Cayor resisted French colonial expansion and died fighting at Dékheulé?

A.Alboury Ndiaye

B.Lat Dior Ngoné Latyr Diop

C.Maba Diakhou Bâ

D.El Hadj Omar Tall

Explanation: Lat Dior was the Damel of Cayor and a major figure of resistance to French expansion. His resistance included opposition to the colonial railway project, and he died at Dékheulé.

2Which nineteenth-century religious and political leader is associated with the Toucouleur Empire?

A.Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba Mbacké

B.El Hadj Malick Sy

C.El Hadj Omar Tall

D.Seydou Nourou Tall

Explanation: El Hadj Omar Tall led the movement associated with the Toucouleur Empire in the western Sudan. This political and military history should be distinguished from the later religious institutions of Touba and Tivaouane.

3Which Senegalese resistance figure from Cabrousse is remembered for defending local agricultural and cultural life in Casamance against colonial demands?

A.Aline Sitoé Diatta

B.Ndatte Yalla Mbodj

C.Caroline Faye Diop

D.Annette Mbaye d'Erneville

Explanation: Aline Sitoé Diatta is associated with resistance in Basse Casamance and the preservation of its agricultural traditions. Senegal's Presidency commemorates her opposition to colonial interference and her death in deportation.

4A colonial-history account discusses the distinctive political rights of the originaires of Senegal's Quatre Communes. Which interpretation avoids an unjustified generalization?

A.All inhabitants of colonial Senegal necessarily had identical political rights

B.Every French African territory had the same four-commune arrangement

C.The existence of local elections meant colonial rule had already ended

D.Different citizenship arrangements could coexist within colonial Senegal

Explanation: The distinctive status of the originaires must not be generalized to every colonized person. Colonial Senegal contained unequal legal and political arrangements, so local electoral rights do not establish universal citizenship or the end of colonial rule.

5Who was elected Senegal's deputy to the French Chamber of Deputies in 1914?

A.Lamine Guèye

B.Blaise Diagne

C.Léopold Sédar Senghor

D.Ngalandou Diouf

Explanation: Blaise Diagne won the Senegal seat in 1914. The historical institution was the Chamber of Deputies; describing that election using its contemporary name avoids confusing it with later parliamentary institutions.

6In which year was the corps of Tirailleurs Sénégalais formally created?

A.1848

B.1885

C.1857

D.1914

Explanation: The corps was created by an imperial decree in 1857. Its name should not be taken to mean that all of its later recruits came from the territory of present-day Senegal.

7At independence in 1960, the Mali Federation united Senegal with which territory?

A.French Sudan, now Mali

B.Guinea

C.Upper Volta, now Burkina Faso

D.Dahomey, now Benin

Explanation: The federation at independence consisted of Senegal and French Sudan. Its breakup led to the separate states of Senegal and Mali.

8Which sequence places these events in Senegal's political history in chronological order?

A.Wade's election → Senegal leaves the Mali Federation → Diouf succeeds Senghor

B.Diouf succeeds Senghor → Senegal leaves the Mali Federation → Wade's election

C.Senegal leaves the Mali Federation → Wade's election → Diouf succeeds Senghor

D.Senegal leaves the Mali Federation → Diouf succeeds Senghor → Wade's election

Explanation: Senegal left the Mali Federation in 1960, Diouf succeeded Senghor at the start of 1981, and Wade was elected in 2000. Ordering these events separates the independence period, the first presidential succession and the later electoral alternation.

9Which institutional change followed the 1962 crisis between Senghor and Mamadou Dia and the adoption of the 1963 Constitution?

A.Replacement of the presidency by a hereditary monarchy

B.Replacement of the dual executive by a presidential regime without a prime minister

C.Creation of a federal government shared with Mali

D.Transfer of executive power to regional governors

Explanation: The 1963 Constitution established a presidential regime after the crisis of the dual executive. The prime minister's office was removed at that stage; this historical arrangement should not be confused with later constitutional changes.

10Which river-basin organization was created in 1972 by Mali, Mauritania and Senegal, with Guinea joining in 2006?

A.OMVG

B.Niger Basin Authority

C.OMVS

D.Lake Chad Basin Commission

Explanation: The Organisation pour la Mise en Valeur du fleuve Sénégal (OMVS) was created in 1972. Its cooperative remit concerns management and development of the Senegal River basin.

About the Concours ENOA Sénégal Exam

The Concours direct d'entrée à l'ENOA recruits future active-duty officers for training in Thiès. The 2026 portal describes licence-level written assessment, physical selection and a jury interview. OpenExamPrep provides independent practice for selected general knowledge, mathematics-option topics and French composition skills. This is an English-language MCQ study adaptation, not an official translation, an official-format simulation or a substitute for French writing, oral response, physical preparation or medical assessment. It does not cover the alternative law, economics, English, philosophy, PC or SVT papers, or the separate professional route.

Exam sponsor: État-major général des Armées, Ministère des Forces armées du Sénégal. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Direct entry: physical tests, French composition (4 hours, coefficient 15), connaissances générales (1 hour 30 minutes, coefficient 15), and one option paper (3 hours, coefficient 15), followed by an entretien avec le jury (coefficient 5). The portal lists mathematics, PC or SVT for scientific degrees, and law, economics, general English or philosophy for the relevant literary degrees. Medical fitness is required. French is used for the common assessment; English is also a listed subject option, not evidence of an English sitting for all papers. The official composition requires written production. This bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation, not an official translation or format simulation.

Time Limit

8 hours 30 minutes across the three written papers; separate physical tests and jury interview. An interview duration is not published on the competition page

Admission by order of merit and available places; French composition below 5/20 is eliminatory. The direct-entry page also specifies physical elimination for abandonment or an average below 5/20

Concours ENOA Sénégal: Suggested Study Strategy

1Confirm your degree-dependent option and session requirements using the DGF competition page and notices.

2Write full French compositions under timed conditions alongside the grammar and argument MCQs.

4Broaden general-knowledge study beyond the selected history and geography topics in this bank.

5Prepare separately for the jury interview and the official physical and medical requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which written papers does direct-entry ENOA require?

All candidates take French composition and general knowledge, then one paper determined by their degree and chosen option. The DGF page lists mathematics, PC or SVT for scientific degrees, and law, economics, general English or philosophy for the relevant literary degrees. This bank provides selected mathematics-option and common-paper study, not coverage of every option.

What eligibility does the 2026 portal specify?

The direct route covers Senegalese civilians and military personnel serving the durée légale, normally age 20–25, unmarried without dependent children, holding a recognized Licence 3 or equivalent by entry, and medically fit. Pending-degree applications are accepted. Master 1/Master 2 holders may receive a one-year age extension by ministerial decision; check the session notice for the age reference date and documentary requirements.

Can these English MCQs replace the official assessment?

No. This is an English-language MCQ study adaptation by OpenExamPrep, not an official translation or format simulation. Practice written French compositions, prepare for the jury interview and physical selection, and follow official medical procedures separately. The optional English subject does not establish an English delivery option for all papers.

How does the practice topic distribution relate to the examination?

The bank assigns 20 questions each to selected general knowledge, mathematics and French reasoning, reflecting the equal coefficients of the three direct-entry written papers for the mathematics option. It does not reproduce the full competition weighting, its entire scope, its physical assessment or its interview.
