Submission of Additional Documentation and Appeal of the Decision of the Special Test Accommodations Unit

YAELNET with Special Test Accommodations

Every applicant has the right to receive an in-depth review of his or her request for special test accommodations. This initial review is provided free of charge.

The documents you submit are generally reviewed by at least two professionals, whose goal it is to come to a clear and complete understanding of your situation and enable you to take the test with suitable accommodations. Therefore, an appeal that does not include additional information is unlikely to be successful. It is advisable to write a letter justifying your appeal.

Appealing a decision of the professional staff or submitting additional documentation for another review returns the case to the professional staff and hence an appeal or the submission of additional documentation after you submitted your original request is subject to a service fee. This service fee is NIS 235.

Note: You may submit additional documents or appeal the decision of the professional staff up to four days before the test date you selected. There is a service fee for sending additional documents after you have already submitted your request, even if you have not yet received an answer.

A response will be issued up to 25 business days after the appeal is received.

Do not resend documents that have been submitted in the past; they are kept on file.

Appeals can be uploaded to the website, sent through the Israel Post, or hand delivered to the NITE offices in Jerusalem.

Submitting Additional Documentation or an Appeal via the Website

Log onto the website. Select the test you registered for and click on “special test accommodations”.

Complete the form and upload additional documents.

After submitting the appeal or additional documentation, proceed to the payment link. If you do not pay, your request will not be processed.

You will receive confirmation via SMS when re-evaluation of your case begins.

Important instructions

• The documents must be uploaded as PDF files, in their original size. They must be clear, legible and complete.
  Documents that are not legible will not be processed.
• Up to 20 files can be uploaded, therefore, it is recommended that you scan each document separately (for example, put each evaluation into a separate file). Try not to upload each page as a separate file. If you send school report cards, you should scan them into one file, in chronological order.
• If the system warns you that a file you have uploaded is too big, divide it into two parts; make a note in the file name (i.e., Part 1, Part 2); and upload each file separately.
