Hello Ameer, a fellow Israeli in here so I happen to know what you are talking about but for others in here you should probably mention that Psychometric exam is basically the Israeli version of the SAT exam.

Now here is the deal, the Psychometric exam will most probably have more weight in addmission to university than bagrut so if you’re finding it difficult to do both at the same time try to focus on the Psychometric first but don’t let the bagrut wait too much either, try focusing on the subjects you’re best at and take the higher levels in them (5 points) but don’t forget about math you’d want it at 5 points as well.

And about the age issue, the average age to enter unvirsety/college in Israel is 23 so you’re fine ( I’m gussing you’re Arab like me so that’s why you’re confused), remember that the majority of Israeli’s are jews that have to serve in the army until the age of 21, then they usually take a gap year and travel the world and finally they do the Psychometric exam at 23 and enter a university, actually statistically speaking people that take the Psychometric exam at their twinties tend to do better than younger students so you might be at an advantage there.

Anyway, good luck with whatever decision you make and remember that you don’t have to worry, you can get into university at any age ;)
