If you can't come to a scheduled test date, you can take it at the testing center:

1. Call 422-6147 to make an appointment at the testing center for the Physics Major Field Test.  (If there is confusion, have the staff contact Linda Shirley).  Make sure you leave yourself 2 hrs for the exam, and about 20 min to set up the computer, type in your personal info and review how to take the exam.
2. Avoid the week before finals and finals week, as the testing center proctoring openings are very few then.
