Saudi Arabia Online Test Preparation Market Trends:

Growing Need for Competitive Tests

The Saudi Arabia market for online test preparation is driven by the increasing demand for competitive tests, such as university entrance exams, professional certifications, and government placement. Professionals and students are getting ready for high-stakes tests like the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT), Graduate Record Examinations (GRE), and Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), as well as region-specific tests like the Saudi Aptitude Test and other industry-specific qualifications. The trend to use digital platforms in preparation for tests is growing since these platforms provide easy access to study materials, practice tests, and professional guidance. The prevailing trend is encouraging more people to use online courses and resources in order to enhance their chances of passing these tests. In addition, as schooling systems continue to evolve and become more competitive, both local and foreign students in Saudi Arabia are using online resources for systematic learning and practice, thereby increasing demand for test preparation services online. In 2024, The National eLearning Center (NeLC) introduced the "AI Sandbox in Digital Learning" project, a platform designed for innovation in Artificial Intelligence solutions for online education aimed at boosting creativity, improving digital learning methods, elevating educational standards, and encouraging investment in the digital economy aligned with the strategic objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.

Increased Digital Penetration and Internet Use

The sudden increase in internet penetration and digital infrastructure across Saudi Arabia is playing a major role in contributing to the Saudi Arabia online test preparation market growth. Smartphone adoption is booming, high-speed internet is adopted in abundance, and e-learning platforms are available for students to take advantage of quality test preparation material from anywhere. Schools, local and abroad, are integrating online learning resources into their curricula, and users are resorting to mobile devices for access to study material. Such ease of access is motivating students to utilize the convenience and flexibility of online test preparation, which suits their hectic, technology-oriented lifestyles. With the Vision 2030 of the Saudi government focusing on digital transformation as well as education reforms, online platforms are increasingly becoming a part of the learning environment, also driving market growth further.

Government Support to Education and Technology Innovation

The government of Saudi Arabia is actively encouraging education and technology programs that promote digital learning, such as test preparation online services. Through initiatives that promote e-learning and the use of technology in education, the government is developing an enabling environment for online test preparation websites to grow. These initiatives involve investments in digital educational tools and collaborations with private sector players to improve online learning services. Besides, the government's thrust for enhancing the quality of education in conformity with international standards is pushing students to use online resources that offer high levels of preparation. With changing educational policies and the nation becoming more technology-driven towards a knowledge-based economy, students and institutions alike are embracing online platforms in greater numbers, thus further catalyzing the demand for digital test preparation services. Saudi Arabia has advanced further in its educational reform efforts with the successful completion of the International Education Exhibition (EDGEx), which took place from April 13–16, 2025. During a span of four days, EDGEx hosted over 20,000 visitors from both local and international backgrounds, comprising government officials, top educators, scholars, industry leaders, and specialists in the sector. The exhibition acted as a venue for discussion, sharing knowledge, and collaboration across sectors, uniting institutions, businesses, and policymakers to examine how education and training can adapt in a swiftly changing world.
