In addition, all reports for psychologist-administered tests must include:

• testing psychologist's name
• business address
• professional letterhead or official stamp
• signature

Any applicant authorized to administer, or in any way having access to, any of our admissions tests must provide evidence of satisfactory scores achieved before he/she became so authorized or before gaining access to any such test. It is required that any applicant authorized to administer, or with access to, any of our accepted tests disclose that fact and list all such tests on his/her TNS application. Failure to disclose will result in administrative dismissal from the Society. No scores will be accepted from anyone whose business associate or familial relative administered their test, nor may tests have been self-administered.
