Past exam papers are the best tool for preparing for post-baccalaureate entrance exams in Morocco. This article provides a year-by-year inventory (2017-2026) of available papers for Medicine, ENSA, ENSAM, and ISPITS entrance exams, with practical advice on how to make the most of each paper. FMPrepa offers over 1,270 free corrected MCQs, organized by year, exam, and subject.

Why past papers are the #1 preparation tool
Ask any student admitted to Medicine, ENSA, or ENSAM: "What advice would you give?" The answer almost always comes down to the same point: do and redo past papers. Not reading course notes. Not watching videos for 4 hours. Doing the actual exam papers, under real conditions, and analyzing every single mistake.
Past papers are not just a simple practice exercise. They reveal the recurring patterns of entrance exams. Question designers follow trends: certain concepts come back every 2-3 years, certain types of traps repeat, and the difficulty level follows a predictable curve. A student who masters the last 5 years of papers often covers more than 70% of the concepts tested the following year.

Medicine past papers: subjects, trends, and difficulty
The common entrance exam for medical faculties in Morocco tests 4 subjects with equal coefficients: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (SVT). Each exam consists of 56 single-choice questions (QCU) to be completed in 2 hours.
Typical question distribution
| Subject | Number of questions | Recurring themes | Average difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Biology (SVT) | 14 questions | Cell biology, genetics, immunology, geology | Medium to high |
| Chemistry | 14 questions | Organic chemistry, aqueous solutions, thermochemistry | High |
| Physics | 14 questions | Mechanics, optics, electricity, waves | Medium |
| Mathematics | 14 questions | Sequences, probability, functions, geometry | Medium to high |
Analysis of the 2017-2024 past papers reveals clear trends. Cell biology and genetics alone account for about 50% of Biology questions. In Chemistry, organic chemistry has become progressively more prominent, going from 3-4 questions in 2017 to 5-6 questions in 2023-2024. Mathematics remains stable with a strong emphasis on numerical sequences and probability.
Practice question - Biology (Medicine)
Which cellular organelle is responsible for synthesizing proteins destined to be exported outside the cell?
- Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER)
- Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)
- Golgi apparatus
- Lysosomes
ENSA and ENSAM past papers: format and key topics
The ENSA (National Schools of Applied Sciences) and ENSAM (National School of Arts and Crafts) entrance exams share a common core but differ in weighting and level of difficulty. Both focus on Mathematics and Physics, with questions that emphasize quick calculation and logical reasoning.
What distinguishes ENSA/ENSAM past papers
ENSA generally offers a balanced MCQ between math and physics (roughly 50/50). ENSAM (official website) sometimes adds dimensional analysis and technical reasoning questions. On FMPrepa, you will find 412 questions covering the years 2018 to 2024, i.e. 6 complete exams.
The most frequent themes in physics: kinematics, geometric optics, RLC electrical circuits, and thermodynamics. In mathematics: analysis (limits, derivatives, integrals), linear algebra, and arithmetic.
Practice question - Physics/Math (ENSA 2022)
A capacitor with capacitance C = 10 microF is charged to a voltage U = 12 V. What is the energy stored in the capacitor?
- 0.72 mJ
- 7.2 x 10^-4 J
- 1.44 mJ
- A and B are both correct
ISPITS past papers: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, French
The ISPITS exam (Higher Institutes for Nursing and Health Technical Professions) is unique in several ways. First, it is the exam with the longest available history: FMPrepa offers 724 questions spanning 21 years (2001-2021). Second, it tests a subject absent from other exams: French.
The tested subjects are Biology (SVT - including geology), Chemistry, Physics, and French. The French section covers reading comprehension, grammar, scientific vocabulary, and sometimes conjugation. It is often the subject where students can gain the most points with relatively modest effort.
"I did all the ISPITS past papers from 2010 to 2021 on FMPrepa. What helped me the most was seeing that the same Biology themes came back every 3-4 years. Human reproduction, immunology, and genetics cover almost 60% of the biology questions."
"My mistake at first: I neglected French. Then I did the past papers and realized that 10 out of 40 questions were about it. In two weeks of focused review on grammar and scientific vocabulary, I gained 3 points. The past papers opened my eyes."
"Before FMPrepa, I was looking for past papers on Facebook groups and illegible scanned PDFs. Here, everything is organized by year and by subject, with clear corrections. It changes everything when you are studying alone at home."
"Doing 5 past papers under proper conditions is worth more than reading 500 pages of course notes. The exam does not test what you know, but what you can apply under pressure."
- Pr. Amina H., Biology teacher, entrance exam preparation, CasablancaHow to use past papers effectively
Doing past papers is not enough on its own. Many students make the mistake of treating them as simple practice: they answer, check the correction, and move on. This is a waste of time. Here is the method that actually works, the one used by admitted students:
The 4-step method
- Step 1: Real conditions. Complete the entire exam, with a timer running, without looking at your notes. Use FMPrepa's Exam mode to simulate the pressure.
- Step 2: Detailed correction. For every question you got wrong, do not just read the correct answer. Understand why your reasoning was flawed and note the concept involved.
- Step 3: Error notebook. Keep a notebook or a file with your recurring mistakes. If you miss the same concept 3 times, it is an alarm signal: review that chapter in depth.
- Step 4: Spaced repetition. Redo the same past papers 2 weeks later. Your goal: go from 60% to over 85% correct answers.
Good use of past papers
- Exam conditions (timer, no notes)
- Detailed analysis of each mistake
- Recurring error notebook
- Spaced repetition of the same papers
- Identifying trends year by year
Common mistakes
- Doing past papers while looking at course notes
- Only checking the correct answer without understanding
- Starting with the most recent papers
- Doing each paper only once
- Ignoring "easy" subjects during correction
- Simulate real conditions with FMPrepa's Exam mode
- Analyze each mistake in depth (not just the correct answer)
- Keep an error notebook to identify your recurring weaknesses
- Redo the same past papers 2 weeks later to measure your progress
Practice question - Biology (ISPITS 2019)
During meiosis, interchromosomal shuffling occurs during:
- Prophase I
- Metaphase I
- Anaphase I
- Telophase II
- Facebook groups: scanned PDF past papers, often illegible, without corrections. No filtering by year or subject.
- Scribd / paid websites: paid access (50-100 MAD/month), past papers without detailed explanations.
- FMPrepa: free, interactive MCQs with detailed corrections, sorted by exam/year/subject, timed exam mode, AI tutor in Darija.
FMPrepa's advantage is not just that it is free. It is the structure. Instead of searching for scattered PDFs across the internet, you have everything in one place: over 1,270 MCQs organized by exam, by year, and by subject, with corrections written by teachers and an AI tutor available 24/7 to explore any concept further.
