Information about Kup exams

To reach the next belt, the next level, you need to pass an exam successfully. 

Examination dates occur several times a year – they are always announced about 2 months in advance and posted in every school.

Several locations are grouped together for examinations, and the members of these locations all take the exam together.

To be admitted to the exam, your school principal must put you on the exam list. Only your school principal or Sabomnim can do this.
