The SAT or the ACT or the Israeli Psycometric Test
PsychometricĀ Tests
The Technion will consider the admission of applicants who meet basic requirements. One of these requirements is the Israeli Psychometric test or the SAT or the ACT.
The Israeli Psychometric Test
The Technion will consider the admission of applicants who meet basic requirements. One of these requirements is theĀ psychometric test. The test is given in Israel a number of times a year, in the following languages: combined format English and Hebrew with selected words translated into Russian, Dutch, Portuguese, Italian, German, Hungarian and Arabic.
Overseas Israeli Psychometric Test
The psychometric testĀ is also given abroad only once a year in several locations in Europe and South America (depending on the number of applicants). The registration form and fee for the overseas test vary. To obtain a registration form and additional information, contact the Unit for Overseas Tests at NITE.
For further information concerningĀ the psychometric test,Ā please contact the Overseas Examinations Center.
The SAT Test
- The Technion does not use SAT Superscores. Each SAT test date is evaluated as a complete exam and converted separately to a psychometric score. For admission purposes, the highest conversion from a single SAT exam is considered, without combining section scores from different test dates.
- The only exception is English placement, for which the highest Evidence-Based Reading and Writing score from any SAT test date may be used.
For candidates who have taken theĀ SAT test, the following translation formula is applied:
E - English (Reading and Writing) or Critical Reading in old SAT scores.
M - Math SAT score
Psychometric score = M * 0.67 + E * 0.33
The SAT can be calculated in the Sekem Calculator
Please notice: SAT and ACT test scores sent officially to the Technion within the past ten years are valid for the purposes of admissions consideration; For score verification, the results must be sent directly by the examination board, and we must be notified accordingly.
The ACT Test
Candidates who have taken the ACT test should convert, first, the score to SAT score scale and then convert the grade to the Psychometric Test Scale.
In all cases where there are multiple grades for the psychometric test or the SAT, the bestĀ gradeĀ will be taken into consideration.

SAT/ACT Score Submission
Unlike the multidisciplinary Psychometric Test score, SAT and ACT scores are not transmitted to the Technion automatically.
Applicants seeking admission to the Technion on the basis of SAT or ACT scores are required to ensure that their official scores are submitted in accordance with the procedure outlined below:
- Log in to your account on the College Board or ACT website and request that your official score report be sent to the Technion.
Please note that the Technion can only receive scores that have been officially transmitted by the testing organization. Applicants are therefore advised to verify that the score report has been successfully sent.
- Send an email to rishum@technion.ac.il containing the following information:
- Israeli ID number (or other identifying number, as applicable);
- Full name as it appears in the College Board or ACT records;
- Confirmation that the official score report has been submitted to the Technion.
Applicants bear full responsibility for ensuring that their scores are transmitted correctly to the Admissions and Evaluation Unit and are subsequently updated in the Technion's admissions system.
The Technion does not use SAT or ACT superscores. Each test administration is evaluated independently and converted to a Psychometric Test equivalent according to the Technion's official conversion table. For admissions purposes, only the highest converted score derived from a single test administration will be considered. Scores from multiple test administrations will not be combined.
The sole exception applies to English proficiency placement. For the purpose of determining English proficiency level, the highest score achieved in the SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing section across all SAT test administrations may be taken into account.
