About the Concours ENSOA Sénégal Exam
The Concours direct d'entrée à l'ENSOA selects future active-duty non-commissioned officers for the school in the Kaolack area. The 2026 portal distinguishes BFEM sur concours admission from sur titre admission for qualifying diploma holders and lists physical, written and jury-interview components. OpenExamPrep provides independent practice for selected BFEM mathematics, French, history and geography topics. This is an English-language MCQ study adaptation, not an official translation, an official-format simulation or a substitute for French rédaction, oral response, physical preparation or medical assessment. Its selected regional topics do not exhaust the history and geography curriculum.
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.

The competition also includes an entretien avec le jury, and military medical fitness is required. French is the confirmed assessment language.

Concours ENSOA Sénégal: Suggested Study Strategy
Frequently Asked Questions
Which ENSOA route does this bank help learners study?
It covers selected academic knowledge for the BFEM sur concours route. The 2026 portal also lists sur titre admission for Baccalauréat, BPMS and specified technical diploma holders, and a wider age range for specialist BTS/DTS applicants. Do not treat those routes as identical or assume they all require the same written papers.
Is ENSOA registration free?
The 2026 DGF competition page lists a non-refundable registration fee of 5,500 FCFA. An older ministry service page lists dossier documents without that fee; its omission does not establish free registration. Consult current session instructions before paying.
Is the official assessment an English multiple-choice test?
The confirmed assessment language is French, and the written French paper includes rédaction. This bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation by OpenExamPrep, not an official translation or format simulation. French passages and choices remain in French when they are the skill being tested. Prepare separately for extended writing, the jury interview, physical tests and medical requirements.
How are practice questions distributed?
There are 20 French, 20 mathematics, 10 history and 10 geography questions. This follows the written coefficients 2:2:1:1 for the selected study coverage; it does not reproduce the whole selection process or every topic in the curriculum.
