Gold frame = where you tap on that screen
  1. Install the “Qaddim” app and create your account

    Sign in with your exam number and secret number. If you do not have them, choose “I don’t have login details”, select your school year and branch, and create an account with a username (English letters), a password and an active Iraqi mobile number — all notifications go there.
