GREATER NEW YORK MENSA
PROCTORED MENSA QUALIFYING EXAM

Information

  All test sessions start promptly and last approximately two hours. Seating is limited and available on a first-reserved-first-served basis. Since dates and times are subject to change, reservations are STRONGLY suggested.

  The cost of the test is $40. Checks are to be made payable to American Mensa, Ltd. and will be collected at the test site. Credit cards may also be used. Cash is acceptable but not preferred.

  Two tests will be administered with a short break between them. The session will last approximately two hours. A score at or above the 98th percentile on either of the two tests will qualify you for membership in Mensa.
  If you are dyslexic or if English is not your primary language, you may wish to take the Culture-Fair test, offered twice a year, instead of the regular Mensa Admission test.
  Three to four weeks after the test session you will receive notification on whether you qualify to join Mensa. You will NOT receive your percentile rank or estimated IQ. The admission tests that are given may NOT be retaken to fulfill admission requirements. You may, however, be granted membership on the basis of evidence from a previous intelligence test. For more information on what tests are acceptable, please see the Mensa web site at www.us.mensa.org or contact American Mensa National Office, 1229 Corporate Dr W, Arlington TX 76006-6103.

  As a courtesy to others taking the test you are requested to be prompt. Please bring photo ID to the test. Pencils and other materials will be provided. In fairness to all candidates, smoking, eating, and drinking are not allowed in test rooms. In most locations, smoking is completely prohibited indoors. Applicants must be at least 14 years of age, and a parent must accompany those between 14 and 17.

  Greater New York Mensa usually holds both Spring and Fall test sessions.

Notes

  If you have a qualifying score on any one of many standardized tests, you do not have to take this exam. Please see the Joining Mensa page for more information.

  The Mensa qualifying exam is open to those 14 years of age and older. For those under 14, Mensa accepts scores from testing done by schools and public or private psychologists. For more information, please see the Young Mensan Membership page.

  The fee to review prior evidence is $40, the same as the Mensa test.
