The ISPITS 2026 entrance exam consists of 40 MCQs spread across 4 subjects: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and French. Our archive of 724 questions spanning 2001-2021 reveals that nearly 60% of biology MCQs cover reproduction, immunology, and genetics. This guide gives you the keys to target your revision and maximize your chances of success.

What is ISPITS?
ISPITS stands for Institut Superieur des Professions Infirmieres et Techniques de Sante - the Higher Institute for Nursing Professions and Health Techniques. It is one of the most sought-after post-baccalaureate institutions in Morocco, offering direct pathways into healthcare careers.
The institute trains professionals across several specializations:
- Nursing: general nursing, anesthesia and intensive care nursing
- Midwifery: pregnancy care and childbirth assistance
- Physiotherapy: functional rehabilitation and physical therapy
- Health Techniques: laboratory, radiology, environmental hygiene
- Social Work: medical-social support and care coordination
After 3 years of training, graduates enter the public or private healthcare system directly. The professional integration rate is among the highest of any post-bac program in Morocco. That is a fact most people overlook.
Entry is through a national competitive exam open to holders of the scientific Baccalaureate (Life and Earth Sciences, or Physical Sciences). Thousands of candidates apply each year for a few hundred spots. Competition is fierce, but with structured preparation, success is very achievable.
The French Section: Easiest Points to Score
Most candidates pour all their energy into biology and chemistry. That makes sense on the surface. But here is a reality most people miss: the French section is often the easiest to score well on. And yet, it gets the least revision time.
French questions on the ISPITS exam typically cover:
- Grammar: conjugation, agreement, sentence structure
- Vocabulary: synonyms, antonyms, contextual meaning
- Reading comprehension: identifying main ideas, understanding tone
- Spelling: classic traps, homophones
Honestly? Most of these concepts are from middle and high school. You do not need to learn anything new. You just need to brush up on what you already know, and more importantly, practice with real exam MCQs.
❓ Practice Question - French
In the sentence "Les infirmiers ____ les patients avec soin", what is the correct present tense form of the verb "soigner"?
- soigne
- soignent
- soignes
- soignons
The 4 Exam Subjects
The ISPITS exam consists of 40 MCQs total, distributed equally across 4 subjects. But watch out: the coefficients are not the same for every subject. This detail changes everything.
| Subject | Number of MCQs | Coefficient | Syllabus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Biology (SVT) | 10 | 2 | Common core + 1st year + 2nd year Bac SVT |
| Chemistry | 10 | 2 | Common core + 1st year + 2nd year Bac |
| Physics | 10 | 2 | Common core + 1st year + 2nd year Bac |
| French | 10 | 1 | Grammar, vocabulary, comprehension |
The format is exclusively single-choice MCQs. No open-ended questions, no essays. Each question offers 4 options with only one correct answer. Wrong answers are generally not penalized, so never leave a question blank.
Recurring Biology Themes: What Comes Up Most Often
Here is something nobody tells you: after analyzing 21 years of ISPITS past papers (2001 to 2021), certain topics appear almost every single year. Knowing these topics means you already have an effective study plan.
| Topic | Frequency | Key Chapters |
|---|---|---|
| Human Reproduction | ~25% | Gametes, fertilization, pregnancy, contraception |
| Immunology | ~20% | Immune response, vaccines, serotherapy, HIV |
| Genetics | ~15% | Genetic recombination, heredity, mutations, karyotype |
| Ecology | ~10% | Ecosystems, food chains, energy flow |
| Geology | ~10% | Plate tectonics, rocks, fossils |
| Cell Biology | ~10% | Mitosis, meiosis, cell structures |
| Other | ~10% | Nutrition, circulation, respiration, nervous system |
In other words, if you master reproduction, immunology, and genetics, you already cover about 60% of biology questions. That is huge. And it means your revision can be highly targeted.
❓ Practice Question - Biology (Meiosis)
During meiosis, at which stage does interchromosomal recombination occur?
- Prophase I
- Metaphase I
- Anaphase I
- Telophase II
The 21-Year Past Paper Archive (2001-2021)
On FMPrepa, we have compiled 724 questions from ISPITS past papers, covering a span of 21 years (2001 to 2021). Every question comes with a detailed correction. And everything is 100% free.
Why working with past papers matters so much comes down to three things:
1. Pattern Recognition
By working through past papers chronologically, you will notice that certain questions reappear almost identically from year to year. Examiners often draw from the same pool of concepts. Spotting these patterns gives you a considerable advantage. Also check our complete guide to Moroccan exam past papers for a broader approach.
2. Time Management
The exam is timed. By practicing under real conditions (40 MCQs with a time limit), you learn to pace yourself. The first attempts will be frustrating. Then you will find your rhythm.
3. Honest Self-Assessment
Each past paper session gives you a score. No cheating possible. If you get 12/40, you know exactly where you stand. If you climb to 28/40 after 3 weeks, you see the progress. It is motivating and concrete.
"The ISPITS exam is not a sprint, it is a strategic race. Those who know the past papers already have an enormous advantage."
- Pr. Fatima Z., Biology Teacher"Thanks to the ISPITS past papers on FMPrepa, I was able to identify the topics that come back every year. After 3 weeks of targeted preparation, I passed the exam with a score well above average. The detailed corrections really helped me understand my mistakes."
"I thought French would be my weakest subject, but the practice MCQs helped me score valuable points. The corrected past papers are a treasure for anyone preparing for ISPITS. And the fact that it is free changes everything."

Practice MCQs and Study Plan
Having 724 MCQs at your disposal is great. Knowing how to use them is better. Here is a proven 4-to-6-week study plan that has worked for ISPITS candidates.
Weeks 1-2: Diagnosis and Foundations
Start by completing a full past paper session without any prior revision. Note your score. Identify your weak points by subject. Then review the theory on your most glaring gaps while continuing MCQ practice in parallel.
Weeks 3-4: Targeted Reinforcement
Focus on the most frequent biology themes (reproduction, immunology, genetics). Complete 2 to 3 past paper sessions per week. Analyze every mistake using the detailed corrections.
Weeks 5-6: Exam Conditions
Simulate the actual exam under real conditions: 40 MCQs, time limit, no reference materials. Complete at least 3 full simulations. Your goal: achieve a stable score above 28/40. For an even more detailed plan, check our complete 2026 exam walkthrough guide.
