1. Admissions to the colleges in the UAE
The first reason to take the EmSAT exam is for admission to the UAE’s universities and colleges.

Most of the university in the UAE admit students based on their EmSAT score.
The EmSAT test score provides clear information about a student’s subject knowledge and area of interest which helps the university to decide whether a student can be admitted in particular course or not.
The EmSAT score requirement for the admission purpose varies based on the type of universities the students are applying and the major what they select. If a student enrolling for non-technical courses such as Arts, Business, law, etc., the university asks a minimum score of 600 in the EmSAT math and 1250 in the EmSAT English or 5.5 in IELTS. If a student is enrolling for technical courses such as Engineering, Medical, or Computer courses then the university ask a minimum score of 800 or higher in the EmSAT math and other subjects depending of the major you select.
