A new way to test during the pandemic

2/2/2021

 
Ordinarily, we run in-person testing sessions so that interested candidates in the local area can see whether they qualify for membership. The pandemic has made that challenging, of course. But there is another way to test.

Since October 2020, there is a new way to qualify for Mensa membership.
In addition to Local Group testing and Prior Evidence submission, candidates can
schedule a private test session at one of the more than 600 nationwide testing facilities
available through a new partner, Prometric.

Cost: $99

Adding private testing is especially beneficial for groups like ours who have trouble
holding regular test sessions during the pandemic.

How will candidates schedule private testing with Prometric?
  • Candidates will still sign up and pay for test sessions (both Local Group and private sessions) by visiting us.mensa.org/testing.
  • From there, candidates will be invited to search for Local Group test sessions or schedule a date and time to take the admission test at a testing facility near them.
  • Candidates who opt for private testing will sit for our standard test battery after scheduling a date, time, and location at a nearby Prometric testing center.
  • Private test sessions will be processed by our staff within 72 hours of completion. Notices of results will be emailed directly to candidates (similar to how Local Group test results are announced).

Two Locations in Richmond area:
  1. Prometric Testing Center
    Address: 11547 Nuckols Rd suite B, Glen Allen, VA 23059
