Madison, Testing

[clark918]

Don't know the testing date off the top of my head, but it's coming up soon. Did anyone get anything in the mail about this if they applied? Are we supposed to wait for something or do we just show up on that date if we sent the application in? Thanks.

People from all over the country read the forumns and I know that there is:
Madison, New York
Madison, Wisconnson
Madison, Florida
So is this one of those three or another????

[clark918]

Oops sorry. I put Madison, with the comma but forgot the WI part. Madison, WI is what I mean.

They will send you something in the mail, the last test they had two sessions becuase of the number of people

[PureAdrenalin]

Enjoy your psych test folks.........it will be entertaining.

[clark918]

Okay thanks. Did anyone get a letter yet? I'm assuming I'm in the second group then. I applied on time, but still fairly late.

[MMedrow21]

[clark918]

Thanks Medrow.

Just got my stuff in the mail today. Only 1152 applicants or something like that. I actually thought there were gonna be a few more than that. Did they cut some immediately just from the applications?

[HFD190]

where is the test being held? i am assuming at the convention center again?

[HFD190]

also what time are you testing at? i know before they had two sessions....i just trying to debate on whether to make the 6-7 hour drive down there for the test

[clark918]

12:15 at the Alliant Energy Center on Feb. 5. The test is 4 hours, but it says we will be in the room for a total of 5.

Also, I was wrong by a little bit before. There are 1124 applicants.

[HFD190]

Do you know if there is more than one session? what is the first letter of you last name??

[clark918]

last name is clark. not sure if there's two sessions. just says: "You are 1 of approximately 1124 applicants that have been invited to this process."

[nrz2334]

I test at 7:00 good luck

[clark918]

guess there are two tests. good luck to you as well. i hope everything goes fine. this is my dream dpt for WI. i want either this or Milwaukee.

How did all of you wind up doing, and what did you folks think of the test? This was my first time taking it. A lot of people I know who have taken it before told me that it was quite different from years past. Was that anybody else's perception?

I had thought that everyone who met the prerequisites was invited to take the written test too. I was recently talking to an EMS instructor about this. Her husband works for MFD and according to her, not everyone is invited to take the written exam even if they're eligible. I still have a hard time believing that, but she said she knows someone personally who didn't get invited even though he applied on time and was eligible according to Madison's requirements. Does anyone else know anything about this?

[clark918]

Well the topic was started over a year ago, but I was also told that some got cut before the written. Some may have automatic disqualifications.
