The EmSAT (Emirates Standardized Test) is a standardized, computer-based test based on the United Arab Emirates national standard. The objective of the test is to ensure that students in UAE are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively participate in a global society.

Currently, there are three types of EmSAT exams being used in the UAE:

2. Advantage Test – tracks the development of students during their general education. This provides decision makers with data about the performance of students in Grades 4, 6, 8, and 10.
3. EmSAT English Achieve – measures the knowledge and skills of Grade 12 students as they complete their general education and move on to higher education. This test provides decision makers with data for college admission and placement.
