01Arabic Language - Grammar, Rhetoric and Directed Writing
The Arabic Language paper (اللغة العربية) is compulsory for every Scientific-stream candidate and is added to the same total as Physics or Chemistry, so a weak mark here cannot be compensated elsewhere. The paper tests comprehension of an unseen passage, grammatical parsing (الإعراب), morphology (الصرف), rhetoric (البلاغة), knowledge of set literary texts, and a piece of directed writing (التعبير).
360 words, about 2 min02English Language - Grammar, Reading and Guided Writing
The English paper for the Scientific stream tests reading comprehension of an unseen text, vocabulary in context, a grammar section (tenses, passive, conditionals, reported speech, relatives), and guided writing - usually a short paragraph, letter or email of a stated length. Marks are lost mainly through grammar slips inside otherwise correct answers, so accuracy in form matters as much as understanding.
381 words, about 2 min03Mathematics - Calculus, Vectors and Coordinate Geometry
The Scientific-stream mathematics paper covers limits and continuity, differentiation and its applications, integration, sequences and series, complex numbers, vectors, coordinate geometry including conic sections, matrices, and basic probability and statistics. Marks are awarded for method as well as answer, so every step must be visible and every formula stated before substitution.
389 words, about 2 min04Physics - Mechanics, Electricity and Waves
The physics paper tests mechanics (kinematics, Newton's laws, work, energy, momentum), circular motion and gravitation, electricity and magnetism, waves and light, and introductory modern physics. Questions rarely ask for pure recall; they ask you to select the correct principle for a described situation, so identify the physics before touching the calculator.
373 words, about 2 min05Chemistry - Moles, Bonding and Reactions
The chemistry paper covers atomic structure and electron configuration, periodic trends, chemical bonding, the mole concept and stoichiometry, solutions and concentration, acids, bases and pH, electrochemistry, and the organic families (alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, carboxylic acids). Numerical questions dominate, and almost all of them pass through the mole.
368 words, about 2 min06Biology - Cells, Genetics and Human Systems
The biology paper covers cell structure and function, transport across membranes, enzymes, photosynthesis and respiration, genetics and inheritance, human body systems (digestion, circulation, gas exchange, excretion, nervous coordination), reproduction, and ecology. Questions mix labelled-structure recall with explanation, and the explanations carry the higher marks.
355 words, about 2 min07Islamic Education - Qur'an, Creed and Fiqh
The Islamic Education paper for the Scientific stream covers the Noble Qur'an (memorisation, rules of recitation, and tafsir of set verses), Hadith, creed (العقيدة), jurisprudence of worship (الطهارة، الصلاة، الزكاة، الصوم، الحج) and the Prophet's biography. Marks come from exact terminology and correct attribution, not from general paraphrasing.
307 words, about 2 min08National and Social Education - Libya's Geography, History and Institutions
This paper combines the geography of Libya (location, climate, resources, population distribution), modern Libyan history, constitutional and political institutions, citizenship and civil society, and economic development. It rewards precise use of terms such as الموقع الفلكي and الموقع الجغرافي, and correct linking of cause to effect.
