How to Apply for Special Accommodations for the Psychometric Entrance Test

  • Register for the test before submitting the application.
  • Only requests and supporting documents submitted before registration for the test closes will be accepted (with the exception of medical school admission tests).
  • Processing and verification of the documents accompanying your application can take up to 25 business days.
  • If you submit your request in the last month of registration, it is unlikely you will have enough time to submit additional documents or appeal the decision of the professional department.
  • We recommend submitting the application and accompanying documents at least two months before registration for the test closes.
  • If you have submitted documents in the past, they are kept on file. Please do not send them again.
  • Note: 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 - or for submitting an appeal.

 

Preparing to submit a request? Make sure you read the required documents for each type of application carefully.

Choose only one of the following methods of applying:

By Logging in to the NITE Website

Via the Israel Post or by Hand Delivering to the NITE Offices

 

Attention: Test accommodations are not available to those who register via late registration

 

Applying Via the Website

After receiving confirmation of registration for the test, log in to the website, select the relevant test and type “test accommodations”.

  1. Select the reason for application: learning disorder, ADD, physical disability, emotional disability, autism spectrum disorder (you may select more than one)
  2. Click on the questionnaire, and fill it out.
  3. Attach all the documents required according to the grounds for application that you selected.
  4. Confirm the details and submit the request.

After the request is received by the system, you will receive confirmation of this via SMS.

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.

Important:

  • 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 send each page as a separate file. If you send school report cards, you should scan then 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.

 

Applying Via Israel Post or by Hand Delivery

  1. Applicant questionnaire, completed and signed twice as required (without this the application will not be processed)

Make sure that all photocopies are legible and in the original size. Documents that are not legible will not be processed.
Note! Documents will not be returned to the applicant, therefore send a legible copy and keep the original document.
