- Is my exam confidential? Fully. Your results are shared only if you approve or release them.
- How long does the visit take? Plan for 3 to 4 hours. Everything is completed under one roof.

- Which location should I choose? Whichever of the five is closest: Elizabeth, Secaucus, Paramus, Lakewood, or Voorhees. The exam is the same at every office.
