The test is mandatory for all schools with targeted grades (4, 6, 8, 10).


 The school has to coordinate so that students are tested on several batches so as not to exceed the time and days specified per subject. In the event that the number of students exceeds the capacity to accommodate the computer room in the school, despite the organization of batches, the rest of students are exempted from the test.

 The school should determine if the student is a qualified person to take the test as it is an electronic test which does not contain audio materials and cannot be transferred to a paper test. No additional time to be added for them more than the rest of students.

 The test will be accessed by the targeted schools within a specified number of days and hours for each school at the same time. Schools have to be ready to log in during these hours and days. It will not be available at other times.

 From 7:00 am till 4:00 pm.

 The test is available in Arabic and English and the teacher chooses the appropriate language for his/her students.

 Students are not allowed to use their own devices because the test system is installed only on school devices.

 The EMSAT Advantage Test measures the skills students are supposed to possess when they reach the targeted cycle for the test.

 Please note that the math Geometry Formula Sheet in Arabic and English were sent to all the targeted schools. They are also available on the webpage for 2018 – 2019 EMSAT Sequential test Geometry Formula Sheet

 A limited number of private schools will be selected for entry this year and will be contacted directly if they are nominated for the test.
