Application Deadlines

GAN Aptitude Testing is held four times per year at the JATC. You may apply year-round, but you

must meet specific deadlines to qualify for a particular test date. To be eligible for a specific testing cycle, you must:

  • Start your application no later than the date listed for that cycle.
  • Submit all required items - including your Personal Experience Form (PEF) and recommendation letters - within 30 days of starting your application.

Note: If you miss a deadline, your application stays active, and you will automatically move to the next available testing cycle.
