YAELNET
Note: Changes in the Format of the Yaelnet Hebrew Proficiency TestNote
As of Sunday, May 4, 2025, all examinees of the YAELNET test will be required to use a computer to type their essay in the final section of the test. Handwritten tests will no longer be possible.
The time allotted for writing the essay will be 20 minutes (as opposed to the 15 minutes currently allotted for writing the essay by hand).Your essay must be 100-130 words (which is the equivalent of the current requirement of 12-15 lines). You can use the word count function on the screen to keep track of the length of your essay as you are typing.
You will be able to edit and correct your essay (within the allotted time), thus avoiding a lack of clarity because of hard-to-read handwriting.It is recommended that you practice typing in Hebrew before the test: You can do this by typing Hebrew texts on the computer, by writing emails or posting on social media in Hebrew, and of course by typing essays in Hebrew.
It is also highly recommended to do the practice YAELNET test to practice typing your essay under the same conditions of the actual test.In addition, as of Sunday, May 4, 2025, the instructions at the beginning of the YAELNET test will be shortened, and the practice questions will be removed.
It is highly recommended to do the practice YAELNET test so that you will be familiar with the types of questions that will appear in the test and to practice marking the answers in the computerized test.
YAELNET is a computerized test that is identical in content to the YAEL test.
Anyone interested in taking the YAELNET may register for the test on the NITE website. Tests for those who register via the site will be administered year-round at the NITE Test Centers in Haifa, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Be’er Sheva.

NOTE: You may take the Hebrew proficiency test (YAELNET or YAEL) as often as you like. At the same time, you must wait at least 35 days before taking the test again. This waiting period applies between two YAELNET tests or between a YAELNET and a YAEL, or vice-versa. An examinee who registers for the Hebrew proficiency test within less than 35 days of their previous test will not be allowed to take the test and will be responsible for logging onto the website and changing their registration to a new test date, pending available space. Changing your test date or test location after the test is given will entail a service charge of 45% of the current test fee.
Within 10 days of the test date, you will be able to see your score by logging onto the NITE website. You may also download your score sheet as a file to your computer at any time, at no charge. Test scores will not be sent to examinees by email.
