| The Psychometric Entrance Test (PET) is a tool for predicting academic performance, used for screening applicants to institutions of higher education. The test enables all applicants to be ranked on a uniform scale and, relative to other admissions tools, is less affected by differences in applicants' backgrounds or other subjective factors. |
| The Psychometric Entrance Test is not a perfect tool. While it is generally able to predict academic success, there may be a small number of examinees who do not do well on the test and are nonetheless successful in their studies, and vice versa. Neither is the test a direct measure of such factors as motivation, creativity, and diligence, which are definitely related to academic success. It should be noted that some of these elements are measured indirectly, both in the Psychometric Test and also in the Matriculation Exams. |

The Psychometric Test offers a second chance to many students with great potential who, for various reasons, were not given the opportunity to fully demonstrate their abilities in their high school studies. In addition, since it is translated into several languages, the Psychometric Test is able to serve as a standardized admissions tool for candidates who are not Hebrew speakers or who do not have an Israeli matriculation certificate.

There is a large body of research which demonstrates the high predictive ability of the Psychometric Entrance Test. This means that students with high Psychometric Test scores can generally be expected to do better in their academic studies than students with low scores. In addition, of all the different combinations of selection tools available, the Psychometric Entrance Test combined with the Matriculation Exams has proven to have the best predictive ability.
