TEST SELECTION

The morning session has a reporting time of 8:00 a.m. and ends at approximately 12:30 p.m. The afternoon session has a reporting time of 1:00 p.m. and ends at approximately 5:30 p.m. Examinees will be assigned to one or both sessions according to the number and type of tests for which they registered.
