We will take scores for tests administered prior to October 1989.
ACT states it is now content-oriented. As of that date the test is no longer acceptable, as the content changed from aptitude to subject mastery, which Mensa does not accept.
Medical College,
Dental School,
Law School,
and other
professional schools
Write to professional association which administered the test as a requirement for admission to its program.
Individual testing
done by a
psychologist,
psychometrist,

The report must be sent on letterhead to Mensa, with psychologist's or agency's license or registration number. Mensa accepts only tests given by those people qualified to do testing privately in the state in which examiner resides. Date of test, name of test, and full score must be given and report must be signed.
