Placement tests are short exams which students who received education outside Egypt need to sit order to determine the grade they will be enrolled in in the formal Egyptian school system.
Students should approach the Student Affairs and Examinations Section at the Educational Administrative Zone (Idara Ta’alemeyya) in their area of residence with a valid residence permit. The department will arrange for the placement tests.
The placement tests are free of charge.
Successful Students, who pass the exam, receive a “Wafedeen” Letter stating the child’s specific age in order to submit it to the school. This letter helps children in school enrollments.
