Registration

You may register and pay the registration fee online.

If you wish to register by mail, read the following information carefully before completing the enclosed registration form.

Registration Procedures

Registering for the Psychometric Entrance Test and applying to an educational institution are two separate procedures. Applying to an educational institution does not constitute registration for the Psychometric Test; similarly, registering for the test does not constitute application to an educational institution. It is not necessary to apply to an educational institution in order to take the test. You need take the test only once, even if you are applying to more than one educational institution. Your scores will be forwarded to all the institutions of your choice.

If you have an Israeli identity card or a valid passport, you are eligible to take the Psychometric Test.

The registration documentation for the Psychometric Entrance Test can be purchased in all the university bookstores, at Steimatzky, Tzomet Sfarim, and other bookstores, or by contacting the National Institute for Testing and Evaluation directly.

Validity of Test Results

Test results are valid for university admissions purposes for at least seven years. Detailed information is available in the guides issued by the various institutions.

How often can you take the test?

There is no limit to the number of times you may take the Psychometric Test. However, you may not take it on two consecutive test dates. The table below shows when you can retake the test:

If you take the test in	You can take the test again as of
Sept./Oct. 2009	February 2010
December 2009	March 2010
February 2010	July 2010
March 2010	September 2010
July 2010	December 2010

If you retake the test earlier than the permitted date, the second test will be invalidated. To be retested, you will have to wait the requisite time interval from the date of the invalid test. No exceptions will be made.

The educational institutions generally use the applicant's highest test score. You should, however, verify this with each institution to which you are applying.

*Registration forms must reach the National Institute for Testing and Evaluation (NITE) by this date. A registration form that arrives after the deadline will be processed for the subsequent test date.

Consult the institutions to which you are applying to ensure that the test date you have chosen is appropriate for the academic year for which you wish to register and for the department(s) of your choice.

Test locations

You may state your preference regarding the test location most convenient for you from among the locations offered, regardless of the institutions to which you have applied. Your scores will be forwarded to all the institutions of your choice. The earlier you register, the more likely it is that your preferences can be taken into account.

If there is no place available at the location of your choice, you will be assigned to the nearest alternative. The test is usually administered in university lecture halls. These halls vary in terms of size, seating facilities, etc. You are required to take the test in the lecture hall to which you are assigned.

During the test, use of the following is strictly prohibited: calculators (including those on wristwatches), alarm clocks, cellular telephones, beepers, electronic instruments of any kind, dictionaries, books, papers or any other study aids.

Smoking is prohibited in the lecture halls.

Taking the test outside Israel

The Psychometric Test is administered in several locations in Europe, the U.S. and South America (depending on the number of applicants). The registration forms and fees for these tests are different from those in Israel. For additional information, contact the Overseas Tests Unit at NITE.

Taking the test in a language other than Hebrew

The test can be taken in any one of the following six languages: Hebrew, Arabic, Russian, French, Spanish, and the Combined/English version. You should take the test in the language in which you are most fluent. The Combined/English version of the test is intended for examinees whose first language is English, as well as for those whose first language is not Hebrew, but who are more fluent in Hebrew or English than in any of the other test languages. In the Combined/ English version, the test appears in both English and Hebrew, with selected words translated into Russian, German, Italian, Hungarian, Portuguese, Dutch, and Amharic.

Note:

Tests in languages other than Hebrew are administered only on certain test dates.
Verify whether there is a test in your preferred language on the test date of your choice.
Tests in languages other than Hebrew are administered only at certain test locations.
If you choose a language other than Hebrew, you might not be assigned to the location you have requested.

The test language has no bearing on test scores.

Registration form

Completing the form

It is important to complete the enclosed registration form correctly:

Fill in your ID number as it appears on your identity card. If your ID number consists of fewer than 8 digits, add zeros in the empty boxes to the left of it. Write the control number in the appropriate space. If you do not know your control number, leave the space blank.
If you do not have an Israeli ID card, but do have an Israeli passport, fill in the ID number that appears in your passport. Do not give your passport number.
If you do not have an Israeli ID card, passport, or Immigrant Card, use your foreign passport number. The last digit should be in the box furthest to the right (leave the control number space blank).

Registration forms submitted without an ID/passport number will not be processed!

Note: When applying to an educational institution, be sure to use the same ID number that appears on the Psychometric Test registration form.

Fees

Once you have completed both sides of the registration form and signed it, pay the test fee at any bank, using the payment voucher at the bottom of the form. Detach the examinee's receipt and keep it for reference purposes. Should the registration form get lost, this receipt constitutes proof that you have paid. Make sure that the payment voucher is still valid for the current cost of the test. If payment is made using a voucher that is out of date, your registration form will not be processed.

Note: There is no connection between the payment deadline and the test registration deadlines.

Ensure that the registration form is stamped in the three designated places. If your form arrives at NITE without a bank stamp, it will not be processed. Your registration process will be completed only after you provide such confirmation of payment. This may delay your registration.

Mailing

The form should be sent by registered mail, using the enclosed envelope. Make sure to follow the instructions carefully and ensure that your registration form reaches NITE by the deadline stipulated for the test date you have requested. Keep in mind that payment of the test fee is only one part of the registration process (the bank does not forward your personal data to NITE). Your registration can be processed only after the form is received by NITE.

Do not send the registration form by fax.

Test notification

You will be notified of your test date once the Registration Center receives your form. Make sure that all the information in the notification is correct (name, ID/passport number, test date and test language). Notify the Registration Center of any errors immediately. If you do not receive your test notification at least 20 days before the test date, call the Registration Center to check whether your registration form has been processed. If you receive more than one notification, disregard the earlier one.

The test location to which you have been assigned can be ascertained on this site. To request a change of test location, call the Registration Center.

Changing the test date

If you wish to change your test date after you have registered, contact the Registration Center by phone or by registered mail. If your request reaches the Registration Center before the registration deadline for the test date that you originally requested, it can be accommodated at no extra charge. If the request arrives after the registration deadline, the change will entail a service charge of approximately 18% of the current test fee.

Canceling registration

If you wish to cancel your registration, you must notify the Registration Center by registered mail. Your test fee will be reimbursed after a service charge has been deducted. If your cancellation request is received before the registration deadline for the relevant test date, the service charge is approximately 15% of the test fee. If your cancellation request is received after the registration deadline, but up to three months after the test date, the service charge is approximately 30% of the test fee.

Late registration

If you miss the registration deadline and do not wish to wait until the next test date, you may call the Registration Center to inquire about the possibility of late registration up to eight working days before the test. The late registration fee is 150% of the regular test fee. You will be assigned to whichever test location has places available. Late registration is not available to those requiring special test accommodations, due to the complexity of the arrangements.

Registration on the day of the test

It may be possible for those who have not registered at all to register on the day of the test. This requires calling the Registration Center during the six working days before the test date to ascertain whether places may be available and to receive precise instructions regarding the procedure. Registration of this type necessitates special arrangements and therefore costs two and a half times (250%) the regular test fee. The following conditions also apply:

The test will be held in only one location.
The number of places is limited, and seats will be assigned on the basis of availability; it is not possible to reserve places for this test.
You must arrive at the test location two hours before the start of the test to pay the test fees and be assigned to your test hall.
Payment is made at the test location, and in cash only; personal checks will not be accepted.

Note: Due to the expense and the fact that places are not guaranteed, this form of registration is not recommended and is intended for emergency situations only.

Summons for retesting

During the scoring process, standard checks are conducted to ensure that scores accurately reflect examinees' ability. In certain cases, NITE may encounter difficulties in evaluating a test, for example, because of irregular or inconsistent test results or technical problems. In the event of any doubt as to a test's reliability, for any test date and for any reason, including those mentioned above, an examinee may be summoned to retake the test at NITE's offices in Jerusalem. Test scores will be withheld until all doubts as to their validity have been clarified by means of retesting. A written summons for retesting is generally sent to such examinees within six weeks of the test date; however, such a summons may also be issued at a later date.

Inquiries and comments

Any complaints regarding the test should be addressed in writing to the Customer Relations Department within one week of the test date.
All correspondence with NITE should include your name, ID number, type of test and test date.
