In order for students to be eligible to participate in the CTY Greece Programs, they need to pass the Center's exams that take place every year in different cities around Greece and Cyprus.

CTY Greece uses two tests, developed and scored by the Center for Talented Youth of the Johns Hopkins University: The School and College Ability Test (SCAT) for 3rd – 9th grade students and the Spatial Test Battery (STB) for 6th – 9th grade students, which measure verbal, quantitative, and spatial reasoning ability and are in Greek & English (only for students taught in English and attending international schools in Greece and Cyprus).

For foreign students this qualification can be acquired through the CTY JHU Center.

No preparation is needed for the tests. Each student can take either or both tests. The SCAT test once per academic year and STB test only once.

The exam cost per student per test is 35 euros and it is nonrefundable.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

As per the guidelines outlined by CTY Johns Hopkins University, from now the exams in Greek in Thessaloniki and Athens will be administered digitally with the physical presence of candidates required at Anatolia College and OTEAcademy, respectively.

For students taught in English and attending international schools in Greece and Cyprus the exams will continue to be paper based.

The examinations in Greek taking place in cities other than Thessaloniki and Athens will be paper based.

Due to capacity constraints, there will be a limited number of places available for each digital examination, so additional exam dates will be provided. To guarantee a place in the exams (to confirm participation & to secure a spot), it is important for the fee payment to be made at the time of registration and the proof of payment to be uploaded onto the MyCTY Greece account.

It is important to note that while the format may have changed, the exam's content remains unaltered. The only difference is that students will be using a computer keyboard and mouse to select their answers.

Sample test questions are provided below to help you familiarize you with the types of questions included in the tests.

Please find below the current exam schedule. Updates will follow.

Exams are also scheduled in Arta, Rethymno, Heraklion, Kalamata and Lamia before the end of 2023.

Starting next year, exams will also be held in Thessaly, Thrace and Cyprus. To accommodate increasing demand, more exam dates will be added in Athens and Thessaloniki in 2024.
