  1. By taking a supervised test.  Tests are designed for prospects age 14 and over and are administered by appointment only.  For those for whom English is not the primary language, a Culture Free Test may be available.  Testing takes about 2 hours and the supervised test fee is $30.00 (paid at the time of testing).  For a printable application click here.  For details call 1-800-351-1464.
  2. By submitting prior evidence with a test score in the top 2% on any of several standardized tests.
