Tawjihi Vocational Engineering

It is for secondary students in Jordan following the vocational engineering stream, and for candidates who need a recognised school-leaving technical qualification to enter technician-level work or further vocational and engineering study. It is not a professional engineering licence; it is a general secondary certificate with an applied engineering focus.

The examination combines multiple-choice items with written constructed-response questions. Expect calculation questions in mechanics and mathematics, drawing and interpretation tasks in technical graphics, and short written answers explaining procedures, safety choices, or fault diagnosis. Always check the current official paper structure and permitted aids before the exam.

The official examination body publishes the current number of questions, time allocation, and paper structure for each session. These details can change between years, so consult the Ministry of Education or the responsible examination authority's website and your school's examination instructions rather than relying on older figures.

Passing thresholds and retake rules are set officially and are published by the Ministry of Education or the examination authority. They are not fixed here because they can change. Check the current official regulations for the passing mark, permitted retakes, and any conditions attached to repeating the examination.

Difficulty is moderate but broad: the paper rewards consistent practice across many domains rather than deep specialisation in one. Candidates who are fluent in basic statics calculations, drawing conventions, electrical units, and safety reasoning tend to cope well. The main challenge is retaining many small procedures and applying them accurately under time pressure.

Start with engineering mathematics and applied mechanics, because calculation fluency supports measurement, costing, and electrical fundamentals. Then build drawing and materials knowledge, followed by manufacturing, maintenance, and safety. Finish with technical communication and entrepreneurship, which are lighter but easy to lose marks on through imprecise wording.

Typical losses come from unit errors in statics and electrical calculations, misreading drawing views, vague written answers that omit the reason for a safety or maintenance decision, and skipping the less familiar domains such as quality control or costing. Candidates also lose marks by not showing working in constructed-response calculations.

Work through timed mixed-topic sets rather than single-topic revision, and mark your own written answers against the required steps. Redo every calculation error by hand, memorise standard symbols and drawing conventions, and practise short explanations of safety and troubleshooting procedures. Confirm permitted instruments and materials with your school beforehand.

Permitted instruments and materials are specified in the official examination instructions for each session. Do not assume that a calculator, formula sheet, or drawing set is allowed. Confirm the current list with your school or the examination authority, and practise using only the instruments you will actually have in the exam room.
