Placement Tests

Placement Tests in Physics and Chemistry

Once admitted, students may be required to take placement tests in Physics and Chemistry. Those admitted to Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Medicine are exempt from these examinations.

It is highly recommended to study in the Pre-University Education Center. The center offers courses for those who need to prepare for the placement tests and for the studies at the Technion. A year-long program offers intensive basic knowledge courses in Hebrew, Mathematics, Physics and English. A special program caters to new immigrants and newcomers to Israel.

Those who think that they have all the knowledge that is needed for the placement tests can register only to them in Undergraduate website (Hebrew)
