Registration for the MEIMAD Test via the Institutions of Higher Education

Please read all of the information carefully.

Registration and Payment

You must register and pay at the educational institution where the test is given.

NITE reserves the right to pursue any course of action it deems appropriate in cases where it suspects that an examinee has registered for the test for a purpose other than that for which the test was designed and/or because of external motivations.

It is forbidden to register for the test in order to infringe on NITE’s proprietary rights. This includes copying, disclosing, or conveying test items, whether to provide instruction and preparation for the test or for any other purpose.

Testing Frequency

You may take the MEIMAD test as often as you like. At the same time, you must wait at least 65 days before taking the test again. If you do not wait at least 65 days from your previous test, your test will be invalidated and you will not be entitled to a refund. If your test is invalidated, you will have to wait at least 65 days from the date of the invalidated test before you can take the test again.

On the Day of the Test

Before entering the examination hall, you will be required to show your identity card. Without an identity card, driver’s license, or valid passport, you will not be allowed to take the test!

You may not enter the test hall with a cellular telephone, smartwatch, earphones, or any other electronic device. Moreover, it is forbidden to bring any educational aid or material into the text hall - no dictionary, electronic dictionary, or study materials of any kind.

You may bring with you a basic calculator that performs the four arithmetic operations. You are forbidden from using a scientific calculator or any other kind of calculator.

You must turn off your mobile telephone and put it into your bag or place it on the proctors’ table.

Bags should be stored in the designated cupboards or placed at the front of the room. You must also place all other communication devices in your bag. Any examinee who is found with an electronic device during the test will be removed immediately from the test hall and his or her test will be invalidated.

Cancelling Registration

As per the procedures of the educational institution where the test is given.

Test Scores

Your scores will be sent to the institution where you took the test within 10 days of the test date. It is not possible to send scores to additional institutions. You will be able to see your score by logging onto the NITE website and you may download your score sheet as a file to your computer at any time, at no charge.

Test scores will not be sent to examinees by email.

Requesting a Reevaluation of Your Test File

The computer program used for the MEIMAD test is highly reliable and errors in calculating scores are extremely rare. Nonetheless, NITE offers interested examinees the opportunity to request a re-evaluation of their test file. This re-evaluation is technical in nature, and only checks the file’s integrity and whether it has been successfully saved in NITE’s systems; the re-evaluation does not recheck test questions. There is a service charge for re-evaluation. If the re-evaluation confirms that an error in calculating your score indeed occurred, you will receive a full refund. In our experience, errors of this kind are very rare.

You may submit a request for re-evaluation of your test file by logging onto the NITE website within three months of the test date.

More information on submitting a request for re-evaluation of your test file appears on the NITE website.

Summons for Retesting

During the scoring process, routine monitoring procedures are implemented to ensure that the examinees’ scores accurately reflect their ability. In certain cases, NITE may encounter difficulties in evaluating a test because of an irregular or inconsistent test score or as the result of technical problems. In the event of any doubt as to a test score’s reliability, for any test and for any reason, including those mentioned above, an examinee may be summoned to retake the test at NITE’s offices in Jerusalem. The examinee’s test score will be withheld until all doubts as to its validity have been removed. Only after an examinee is retested will NITE decide how to proceed. Examinees usually receive a written summons for retesting within six weeks of the test date; however, a summons may also be issued at a later date.

In addition, in every case in which information discovered by or brought to the attention of NITE casts doubt for any reason upon the reliability of any score reported to an examinee (usually as the result of evidence uncovered during subsequent tests taken by the examinee, or information provided to NITE by external sources, the majority of which are institutions of higher education), NITE reserves the right - during every test administration date - to freeze or disqualify that score. In that event, the examinee will be summoned to a retest to clarify the matter (and, when relevant, to notify the institutions of higher education that the score which NITE originally reported to them has been disqualified).

Furthermore, NITE will be permitted to prohibit any examinee who has cheated and/or copied and/or attempted to receive an illegal score from taking any of the tests it administers for a period of 12 months.

Inquiries and Complaints about the Test

Any complaint regarding the test should be addressed in writing to the Customer Relations Bureau and sent via the NITE website within one week of the test date. A complaint received later than this will not be processed, in part because of the difficulty of conducting a check of a test administration long after it occurred.
