What is the Bagrut Track?
The Jerusalem School offers the Bagrut Track, which prepares it's students for the Psychometric Entrance Exam and matriculation in Israeli colleges and universities.
The Psychometric Entrance Test (PET, colloquially known in Hebrew as "the Psychometric"--ha-Psikhometri, הפסיכומטרי) is a standardized test in Israel, generally taken as a higher education admission exam. The PET covers three areas: mathematics,verbal reasoning and the English language. It is administered by the Israeli National Institute for Testing and Evaluation (NITE) and is heavily weighed for university admissions.
The test may be taken in Hebrew, Arabic, Russian, French, Spanish, or combined Hebrew/English. There are generally five dates the test may be taken a year; they change from year to year but roughly fall on February, April, July, October, and December. Hebrew may be taken at any date; Arabic at four dates; Russian and combined Hebrew/English at two dates; and French and Spanish at one date. Taking the test on two consecutive dates is not allowed; this results in the test being disqualified. The results are valid for university admission for seven years.
Starting in the 2015-16 academic year, we will begin offering additional core classes begin taught in Hebrew for those choosing this track from as early as the 7th grade.
