Question: What should I expect?

Answer: Initially, you will talk with a neuropsychologist about your symptoms and concerns. Then you will take a variety of tests administered to you in a one-to-one setting by a neuropsychologist.

This may take anywhere from 3 to 8 hours, depending upon your difficulties. You should plan for a lunch break, and probably bring some beverages and snacks to make your testing more comfortable.
