Until 2017, the Gifted Students’ School only accepted students who successfully completed their primary school (passed 6th grade).
The requirements were as follows :
1. The student must score at least 97% in the final exams of the previous grade (5th grade).
2. The student should be in the legal age and did not fail any year before.
3. The student must score 100% in both maths and science in 6th grade.
4. The student must have at least 582/600 as a sum for the final exams in 6th grade.
Since 2017, the school opened new classes for 4th grade students to have the opportunity of joining the gifted students’ society.
As for the requirements, students need to get a full mark in all the subjects in 3rd grade to be eligible to apply for 4th grade in this school.
After the changes that took place in 2017, the Gifted Students’ School no longer accepts students in 7th grade .
Regarding the application procedure:
The students are expected to pass 3 tests (Maths, Science and Creativity, As well as the IQ test) that take place in the Gifted Students’ School, in addition to an interview.
The school is known for being the most selective school in Iraq.
The number of selected students annually does not exceed 15, those are then known as the Iraqi elite due to the rough steps they need to pass to be students of this school.
