Retaking a Test with Special Accommodations

The law prohibits NITE from assigning you to a test with special accommodations unless you submit an explicit request. This is true even if you received special accommodations for a test given on a previous test date. Therefore, unless you inform NITE of your desire to take a test with special accommodations before the close of registration, we will not be able to confirm that you are eligible for special test accommodations and you will be tested under regular conditions.

Note! If you are submitting a request because of a physical or mental limitation, it is important to make sure that your documentation is current, i.e., issued no more than a year before the date of the test for which you are registering. If the professional opinion you submitted previously was not issued in the past year, you will need to provide a new one.

If you received special accommodations for a test in the past, and you wish to be tested with special accommodations again, select one of the following options at the time that you register:

• retake the test with special accommodations based on documents that were submitted in the past
• provide additional documentation for the professional staff to review

Reapplication on the Basis of Existing Documentation

If you select this option, the professional staff will review your request for special accommodations on the basis of documents already on file.
You will receive an SMS confirming receipt of your application.

Please note: If you do not receive an SMS after submitting your request, log back onto the website and make sure you completed the process properly.

Once you select this option, any appeal or submission of additional documents is subject to a fee.

Reapplication with Additional Documentation for Professional Staff Review

If you wish to receive additional accommodations or submit updated documents, you may submit additional documents for the professional staff to consider after you register for the test. To do so:

• Log onto the website. Click on the test you registered for and then on “special accommodations” and follow the instructions. You will receive an SMS confirmation of receipt of your application.
  Please note: If you do not receive an SMS after submitting your request, log back onto the website and make sure you completed the process properly.
• Do not attach documents that you have submitted in the past.

Your application will be reviewed based on the documents we have on file and additional ones that you attach.

Additional documents may be sent via Israel Post or hand delivered to NITE.

Note: Once you have submitted your application, submission of additional documents or lodging an appeal is subject to a fee.

I want to change the date of my test to another date after I received special test accommodations. What do I do?

As of January 26, 2026, you do not need to contact us regarding a change of date for your test. You can change your test date by logging onto your personal area on the NITE website (changing your test date may incur extra fees.)

After you have changed your test date, we will notify you within 25 working days via e-mail, whether you are eligible for test accommodations for the new test date. You can follow the status of your request by logging onto your personal area on the NITE website.

Examinees who wish to submit additional documents for consideration must register separately for a new test date and submit a request by the registration deadline for that test.

Please note: You will not receive special accommodations if you register via late registration, even if you have received special accommodations in the past.
