Graduate & Professional Entry Exams

The GRE General Test at iTAS measures verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, critical thinking, and analytical writing skills through a structured schedule: one 30-minute Analytical Writing task, two 41-minute Verbal Reasoning sections (27 questions total), and two 47-minute Quantitative Reasoning sections (27 questions total). GRE Subject Tests are computer-delivered in three annual windows, with Mathematics requiring 2 hours 50 minutes, while Physics and Psychology are completed in 2 hours. The standard exam fee in Pakistan is US$220, with flexible year-round scheduling Monday through Thursday, excluding local and religious holidays.

English Language Proficiency Exams

International students can register for the TOEFL iBT and PTE Academic at the Islamabad center, satisfying language requirements for universities in the United States, Canada, Australia, the UK, and Europe. The high-speed internet, noise-isolating headsets, and distraction-free cubicles ensure that speaking and writing sections are recorded clearly and evaluated accurately by the respective testing organizations.

Professional Certification & Licensing Exams

Beyond academic admissions, iTAS is the go-to venue for working professionals pursuing career-advancing certifications. The center supports a comprehensive range of professional exams for healthcare practitioners (including USMLE steps and nursing licensure), finance professionals (such as CFA, CPA, and FRM), IT certification seekers (Cisco, Microsoft, CompTIA), and project management credentials (PMP). Each professional exam is delivered in strict compliance with the sponsoring body’s guidelines, including biometric verification, locker storage for personal items, and continuous video monitoring to uphold exam security.

State-of-the-Art Testing Infrastructure

The facility is outfitted to prioritize both comfort and exam integrity. Climate-controlled testing rooms maintain an optimal temperature year-round, while ergonomic seating and adjustable monitors reduce physical strain during multi-hour tests. The computer hardware undergoes regular maintenance and security audits to prevent software glitches. Secure server connections ensure that test responses are transmitted real-time to grading authorities without risk of data loss. Multiple layers of physical and digital security—from ID verification to metal-detector screening and constant invigilation—preserve the high credibility that Prometric, Pearson VUE, Meazure Learning, and PSI partners expect.

What to Bring on Test Day

• Valid Identification: The first and last name on your ID must exactly match the name used during exam registration. For UAE-bound exams, a valid, unexpired passport is mandatory.
• Appointment Confirmation: Print or digital copy of your scheduling confirmation from the testing body.
• Approved Personal Items (for specific exams): Some exams permit basic stationery or a water bottle in the lobby; adhere to the pre-exam guidance email.

Serving Islamabad & Islamabad Capital Territory

ITAS addresses a critical gap in Pakistan’s assessment infrastructure by concentrating international exam access in Islamabad. Test-takers from Peshawar, Rawalpindi, Lahore, and beyond travel to the Greens Gulber Civic Center location, which is well-connected via public transport and major road arteries. The center’s physical location in the Executive Block makes it convenient for professionals working in nearby government and corporate offices who can schedule exams on weekdays without disrupting their work commitments entirely. Visitors arriving from Peshawar or other cities should account for local traffic conditions in Islamabad and confirm that their selected test start time (often 11:00 AM) allows for adequate travel and check-in procedures.

Candidate Support & Registration Guidance

The iTAS team goes beyond proctoring to ensure that test-takers are fully prepared before they enter the exam room. Staff members provide clear guidance on registration steps: creating an ETS, GMAC, or Pearson account, checking seat availability for preferred dates, understanding reschedule and cancellation policies, and verifying that the name registered exactly matches government ID. The cancellation policy for GRE and similar exams allows a partial refund of half the test fee if registration is cancelled at least four days before the test date; rescheduling incurs a US$50 fee. Test-takers who need disability accommodations are advised to initiate the approval process well in advance through the relevant testing body’s procedures.
