This is a training format: it does not reproduce the official exam format.
Financial Accounting 60 questions in 180 minutes, Auditing 90 in 180, Zakat and Taxation 70 in 160: each practice exam follows the size and time of that subject's multiple-choice paper.
Zakat base, VAT, withholding tax, excise and real estate transaction tax, with the article of the ZATCA regulations behind each answer and the calculation laid out step by step.
Financial reporting and audit questions cite the standard and paragraph they rely on, so you revise the rule as well as the answer.
Each explanation says why the right answer is right and what mistake leads to each wrong one: the reversed adjustment, the missed proration, the wrong standard.

No. Every question is written by us from public sources: the standards applied in Saudi Arabia (IFRS, ISA, ISQM, the IESBA Code, IPSAS), the regulations published by ZATCA and the Saudi laws on the syllabus. No question from a SOCPA examination is reproduced, and no other provider's question bank has been copied.
Only the multiple-choice part. According to SOCPA's 2026 guide and the structure applied since session 3-2025, the multiple-choice papers are: Financial Accounting 60 questions in 180 minutes, Management and Governmental Accounting 36 in 108, Auditing 90 in 180, Zakat and Taxation 70 in 160, Laws and Regulations 50 in 120, Business Environment 50 in 120. The first four subjects also have essay questions, and multiple-choice questions count for 75% of their mark (100% in Laws and Business Environment). The pass mark is 60 out of 100 per subject, with at least 5 out of 25 on the essay part. Our practice exams use the same number of questions and the same time, and apply a 60% threshold to the multiple-choice answers only: treat your score as an estimate.
500 questions in English: Financial Accounting 84, Management and Governmental Accounting 51, Auditing 127, Zakat and Taxation 98, Laws and Regulations 70 and Business Environment 70. The split follows the number of multiple-choice questions SOCPA sets in each subject. This is the whole bank today: in the smaller subjects, repeated practice exams will bring back questions you have already seen.
No. Essay questions are part of Financial Accounting, Management and Governmental Accounting, Auditing, and Zakat and Taxation, and SOCPA requires at least 5 out of 25 on that part. This platform trains the multiple-choice part only, which carries 75% of the mark in those subjects and 100% in Laws and Regulations and in Business Environment.
IFRS as endorsed in Saudi Arabia, the International Standards on Auditing and quality management, the IESBA Code, IPSAS, the Zakat Implementing Regulations, the VAT Law and its regulations, excise tax, real estate transaction tax and withholding tax rules, the Companies Law and the other laws on the syllabus, in the versions in force on 21 March 2027, the first session of 2027. SOCPA does not publish a cut-off date for examinable standards, and Saudi tax rules change often: always check the current text before relying on a figure.
Yes. According to SOCPA, the Fellowship exam is held in Arabic and in English, in test centres in Saudi Arabia. This platform is in English. SOCPA also exempts holders of the AICPA, ICAEW, CPA Canada or CPA Australia qualification, obtained by examination, from Financial Accounting, Management and Governmental Accounting and Auditing: check the conditions with SOCPA.
