At the end of the school stages and after the student successfully completes 36 terms, he sits the general exam i.e. “General Examination for the School Stages.” The student can also successfully complete the stage without taking the general exam; there are industrial and vocational institutes that do not in principle require the student’s attaining the general examination for the school stages.

The student chooses whether to sit the exam in the month of Jumada Al-Awwal or Shawwal via his pre-registering for the exam.
