AURAK becomes MOE Authorized Test Center for EmSAT

EmSAT is a standardized computer-based test designed to ensure that students have skills that match national and international standards.

In recognition of its testing facilities and staff proficiency, the American University of Ras Al Khaimah (AURAK) has been appointed by the Ministry of Education as an authorized test center for EmSAT, the national system of standardized computer-based tests based on United Arab Emirates national standards.

AURAK thus becomes one of the three Ras Al Khaimah centers to have authorized EmSAT testing for male and female students. Students have an option to book EmSAT exam at least once a month at AURAK through the MOE portal. Nearly 100 students have booked or taken the test. Students joining AURAK can go through the Ministry of Education portal for test registration.

Prof. Hassan Hamdan Al Alkim, President of AURAK, said: “As one of the leading universities delivering high-quality higher education, AURAK is pleased to be appointed as an authorized EmSAT center by the UAE Ministry of Education. With our cutting-edge facilities and advanced computer labs, we are geared to offer the candidates a seamless experience in doing this important test as they prepare for a higher education that will determine their career paths.”

The university is fully equipped to conduct the computer-based test that is aimed to help Emirati, expatriate and international students to build the necessary skills and knowledge for higher education.

Ali Ebrahim Al Ali, an MBA student at AURAK, said: “With AURAK becoming an authorized EmSAT center offering the tests on campus, I have options to choose a date every month. This is very convenient for AURAK students who want to do the EMSAT test within proximity. Students can now get earlier dates for the EMSAT test at AURAK campus through the MOE portal.”

AURAK has state-of-the-art lab facilities and highly competent staff to offer a unique experience to candidates. As a provider of integrated American-style accredited undergraduate and post-graduate programmes, AURAK ensures that the testing facilities are world-class.

Beside EmSAT tests, AURAK offers multiple tests on campus for the benefit of the community, including IELTS and TOEFL, as well as the Basic Food and Safety examinations for RAK Municipality.
