Straight answers about the Jahziah exam and this app.

Jahziah (جاهزية) is the readiness assessment run by ETEC, the Saudi Education and Training Evaluation Commission. For engineering graduates, it measures the programme learning outcomes of students who are about to graduate. Engineering versions are sat in English, with multiple-choice questions across the core subjects of the discipline.

ETEC describes the engineering assessments as 55–85 multiple-choice questions taking 90–120 minutes depending on the discipline, including a short questionnaire. Treat those as the published guide, not a promise: confirm the current figures for your discipline with the official standards. The practice mocks here are approximate and labelled as such.

No. Every question here is original or adapted practice material, held as a draft and checked before it is shown. Some questions come from public sources and are reviewed by an independent solving pass; anything that cannot be verified is withheld rather than published. They are close in style and difficulty, but they are not official exam content.

Usually yes. ETEC registers expected graduates proactively through the national platform, and your university and the Qiyas centre then notify you of the date and venue — most students do not apply for a slot themselves. Confirm your date, venue, and discipline with your university or the official platform rather than assuming, especially if your graduation term changed.

The test is computer-based and in-person at your university computer labs, during official working hours (roughly 9:00 to 15:00). Arrive at least 30 minutes early with an approved ID — national ID, resident ID, passport, driving licence, or a digital ID via Tawakkalna. Phones are prohibited and bagged. A built-in calculator and any formulas you need are provided inside the test platform, and scratch paper is supplied. You accept a non-disclosure agreement, then work through one timed section (with flags for review) followed by a short questionnaire.

The results measure program learning outcomes and are used by universities and ETEC to judge and improve program quality. ETEC states they do not affect a student’s academic progression or graduation, and outstanding performance can earn the Readiness Medal of Excellence (وسام جاهزية للتميز). Treat the test as a readiness check and a signal of where your program is strong or weak, not a pass/fail gate.

Engineering is administered in English, as are computer science and a few language-related fields; a small set of disciplines are in Arabic, and the rest are Arabic or English as each university decides. The engineering practice questions on this site are therefore in English, with explanations in both languages.

ETEC’s 2026 student guide places the cycle in February: administration begins 1 February and ends 17 February 2026, in morning and afternoon slots from about 9:00 to 15:00. Timings differ by discipline — engineering subjects (electrical, civil, chemical, mechanical, architecture, industrial) are listed at 120 minutes, while software and computer engineering are 90. Confirm your personal date and venue with your university or the official platform, and check the current guide, since schedules change year to year.

All of those spellings refer to the same test. The Romanised name is written Jahziah in ETEC’s own English guide, and you will also see Jahiziya, Jahiziyah, Jahizia and Jahzia in university pages and news coverage. The Arabic name is جاهزية (a word that also means “readiness” generally). Searching either spelling should lead you to the same exam; this site uses “Jahziah”.

No — they are different tests run by different bodies. Jahziah (جاهزية) is ETEC’s readiness assessment of university programme outcomes, taken before graduation and not pass/fail. Qudurat for university graduates (قدرات الجامعيين) is a general aptitude test used mainly for postgraduate admission. The SCE Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam is a professional licensure step from the Saudi Council of Engineers. If you are preparing for graduation, you want Jahziah.

No. Jahziah Practice is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to ETEC. It is a study tool built to help students prepare. Always check the official ETEC subject standards for the authoritative exam details.

Every new account starts with a free trial of 50 practice questions and one timed mock, with no card and no time limit. After that you choose a plan: a Season Pass for SAR 79 paid once for 12 months of access (no automatic renewal), or SAR 19 a month you can cancel anytime. Payment is handled securely by Stripe (Visa, Mastercard and Apple Pay). Keeping an account is what saves your progress and syncs it across devices.

Eight: mechanical, electrical, civil, chemical, architecture, industrial, software, and computer engineering. Each field is organised by the official subject areas of its ETEC curriculum rather than a single broad label, so you always know which concept you are practising.

Both. The interface, navigation, and explanations are fully bilingual — switch between Arabic and English at any time, even mid-session. Technical questions and options stay in English, matching how the engineering exam is written, while the explanations that teach the concept are available in both languages.

Each practice session is drawn fresh and balanced across the concept areas of the topic you chose, preferring questions you have not seen yet. After you answer, questions return on a spaced schedule: too soon and it is wasted, too late and you have forgotten. You review what is due today rather than grinding the same set.

Your answers, bookmarks, and notes are yours. You can export everything as a file or delete your account at any time from settings, and deletion removes your progress. Answer keys are graded on the server, so correct answers are never sent to your browser before you submit.

Yes. Jahziah Practice is an independent web app for the engineering test, with a free trial of 50 questions — it opens in any browser, needs no download, and covers thirteen fields (eight engineering, five computing) with an explanation for every option, spaced review, and timed mocks. It is not an ETEC product.

Test yourself early and often, spread the practice out, and review what you miss instead of rereading notes. Practice testing and spacing reliably beat re-reading and cramming. Our guide, How to study for the Jahziah exam, walks through a practical six-week plan.
