Madrasati Exam 2026: How to Access and Take Online Tests
If you study in Saudi Arabia, you will take some exams inside the Madrasati platform. These tests can come from your teacher or from the Ministry of Education. The steps and rules differ by type.
This guide covers the three types of Madrasati exams, how to access and take each one, the official rules, and what to do when something goes wrong. Facts are based on official Saudi education sources wherever possible.
Log in to your Madrasati student account and open the Tests section. You will find a test assigned by your teacher or a Centralized Test from the Ministry of Education. Open it, read the instructions page (duration and question count), answer each question, and save each answer before moving on. Once you confirm and submit, answers cannot be changed.
What Is a Madrasati Exam?
“Madrasati exam” is a general term for online tests taken inside the Madrasati platform. There are three types — knowing which one you are taking matters:
1. Teacher-Created Tests
These are tests your teacher builds and assigns to your class. Your teacher writes the questions (often using the official Question Bank), sets the date and time, and sends the test to your class. You will find these in the Tests area of your account. Deadlines, grading, and retakes are decided by your teacher or school.
2. Centralized Tests
Centralized Tests are an official Ministry of Education e-service delivered through Madrasati. They measure student skills and achievement against national standards. Per the Ministry’s official page, the service is for students registered in a school with an assigned classroom, is free, and works through the Madrasati portal or app (MoE Centralized Tests).
They follow fixed national rules (see below) — not your teacher’s.

3. Skills Enhancement Tests
Skills Enhancement Tests are given at the start of the school year in core subjects: Arabic, Math, Science, and English. They are diagnostic — they measure your baseline skills so the school can plan support. They generally cover upper elementary, intermediate, and first-year secondary students, though exact coverage can vary, so check with your school.
Why this matters: the test type decides the rules — your teacher’s for teacher tests, the Ministry’s for Centralized Tests, your school’s for Skills Enhancement Tests.
How to Access Your Madrasati Exam
The Madrasati interface is primarily in Arabic, so labels may differ — the steps below describe what to do, not exact button names.
- Log in to Madrasati. Open the Madrasati platform or app and sign in with your student account. If you cannot log in, see our guide on Madrasati password recovery.
- Go to the Tests section. Find the tests and quizzes section of your dashboard.
- Find your test. Find your teacher’s assigned test, or open the Centralized Tests area if that is what you were told to take. Check the date and time so you open the right test.
- Read the instructions page. An instructions page appears first, showing the duration, question count, and rules. Read it fully before continuing.
- Start the test. The timer starts when the test opens, so begin only when you are ready.
- Answer each question. Select your answer, save it, then move on. A numbered question navigator marks answered questions differently, so you can see what is left.
- Review, then submit. Review unanswered questions via the navigator, then confirm your submission. Confirm only when sure — answers cannot be changed after submission.
Before you start: check that your internet is stable, your device clock is correct, and your battery is charged. If the test has a time window, start early — not at the last minute.
How the Test Screen Works
Knowing the layout in advance helps you stay calm:
- Your info appears on screen — confirm you are signed in to the right account.
- Remaining time is displayed throughout the test. Keep an eye on it.
- Total questions — how many the test contains.
- Question navigator — a numbered list; numbers change once answered, so you can track progress.
- Saving an answer is separate from moving on — always save before continuing.
- Finish option — for Centralized Tests it activates only after half the test time has passed.
If the screen freezes, do not close the test right away — check the troubleshooting table first.

For Teachers: Creating a Test in Madrasati
The general workflow for teachers:
- Sign in with your teacher account (via Microsoft sign-in).
- Open the Courses and Resources area.
- Go to the Tests section.
- Fill in the test details — title, subject, class, date, and duration.
- Add questions. You can write your own or pull from the official MoE Question Bank.
- Save the test, then send it to your class.
- After publishing, you can edit, preview, delete, send, view, or deactivate the test.
Remind students taking Centralized Tests of the national rules — especially that submitted answers are final.

|

|
Missed the exam |

If nothing works, contact support: call the Ministry’s unified number 19996, open a Tawasol ticket inside the platform, or speak to your school principal. More options are in our Madrasati technical support guide.
Results: Where to Find Them
Results appear electronically, but where and when depend on the test type:
- Teacher-created tests: your teacher decides when results are released. They may appear with your other grades and assignment feedback.
- Centralized Tests: results are published electronically by the Ministry after processing. They may not appear immediately.
- Skills Enhancement Tests: these are diagnostic, so results are mainly used by your school to plan support.
Important distinction: exam results are not assignment grades. An assignment grade reflects one homework task; an exam result reflects a formal test. To check all your marks, see Madrasati grades. If your exam involved homework-style tasks first, see Madrasati homework.
