Jahziah exam format and test day: question count, timing, and what is on screen
Short answer: the engineering assessment is 55–85 multiple-choice questions in 90–120 minutes, computer-based and in person. It is one timed, scored section followed by a short questionnaire. The test screen provides a built-in calculator, any formulas you need, a question navigator, and flags for review. Questions are in English. Rehearse the pacing, not just the content — see how many questions for the arithmetic.
What the test screen includes
- A non-disclosure agreement you accept before the timer starts.
- A built-in calculator, and the formulas needed for some questions, available inside the platform.
- Save-and-next, a question navigator, and a flag for review you can return to.
- A countdown timer for the section, then the questionnaire after you end it.
- Scratch paper, supplied by the administrator and returned at the end.
What to bring — and what is not allowed
Bring an approved photo ID: national ID, resident ID, passport, driving licence, or the digital ID in Tawakkalna. Arrive at least 30 minutes before your start time. Phones are prohibited and placed in a bag on entry; textbooks, notes, and any written material are not allowed in the hall. If you leave for the restroom, the clock keeps running.
How to rehearse the format
Answer with the clock running and practise flagging and returning instead of stalling on one item. The timed mocks in the app approximate the pacing, and the preparation checklist covers the rest of test day.
