[62091] The Exam Storm in Saudi Arabia: Complaints of Leaks and Mysterious Questions in the 'IELTS' Test

Reports of irregularities in the 'IELTS' tests

Throughout the day (May 16, 2026), reports accumulated on social networks from examinees regarding the structure and content of the exams known as the 'IELTS' (#يلو) tests. Examinees point to a phenomenon of repetition in questions, with some claiming that the exam held this morning was a "نسخ لصق" (copy-paste) of the one held last Friday.

At the same time, an issue arose within the online community regarding the appearance of a new section in the test, focusing on mathematics. According to i40cv and Njm101q, many examinees expressed concern that their errors were concentrated primarily in this section. Among the examinees, the question is prevalent as to whether these are "أسأله تجريبيه" (experimental questions) whose weight in the final grade is negligible or non-existent.

While some users like y129z tried to calm the waters and argued that the exam does not justify excessive worry, others like Njm101q described solving the questions as a challenge intended for "نابغه وفطّين" (geniuses and the clever only). The reports, which have received cumulative exposure of over 80,000 views, reflect tension surrounding transparency in the management of the exam system in question.
