Cognitive Testing | Preparation & Expectations | Results and Values

What is involved in preparation for the test?

There is no advanced preparation for cognitive testing. It is not possible to learn things just to take the tests. The full array of tests can take several hours to complete. The most accurate results are obtained if the person is well rested. If the person becomes overly fatigued, the psychologist may recommend that the tests be given during several short appointments instead of one long session.
