Tawjihi

Tawjihi or Al-Tawjeehi (امتحان شهادة الدراسة الثانوية العامة) is the General Secondary Education Certificate Examination in Jordan and Palestine. It is the last stage of school education. To sit for the exam, students are required to finish 2 years of pre-school education, 10 years of basic education, and 2 years of secondary academic or vocational education (Tawjihi year). Subjects in the exam include Arabic, English, Mathematics, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Geology, Civil Studies and Islamic studies (unless Christian).

Admission into universities is determined on the mean score achieved in the examination. For example, to be admitted to study medicine a student must typically obtain a result of 85% or higher, having chosen to undergo teaching in the scientific stream at the beginning of Tawjihi year.
