Send your documents to Mensa for evaluation. You might be able to instruct your school or psychologist to send your test results directly to Mensa for evaluation. Other testing agencies might only send your test results directly to you to protect your privacy.
If this is the case for your test results, send the results unopened to the following address: American Mensa, Ltd. Non-original documents must be notarized as copies of the original document. Wait patiently to hear if your test results were accepted. Depending on your evidence, the time of year you send your evidence in, and other factors, your evaluation will take between two and four weeks. If five weeks pass without notification, you should contact the testing and admissions department through the Mensa website.
Method 2. Sign up in advance. You'll want to give yourself ample time to prepare for the test, so when signing up for your Mensa assessment, choose a date that meets your study needs. Comparable academic tests, like the GRE Graduate Record Examination , generally takes well-studied students one month of study to adequately prepare, but can require as many as six months for those who are out of practice with the material or test taking.
Take the practice test and do the online evaluation. Practice tests are available in many countries, and these will inform you of the main areas the actual test will target. This will, however, depend on your home country, and should be further investigated at the Mensa international homepage. Break up your study times.
You can improve your long term recall and hopefully your Mensa test score by taking short breaks between periods of intensive study. Investigate test test trends. The first portion of the test, the Wonderlic, will require you to answer 50 questions in 12 minutes or less.
The second test, the Mensa Admission Test, has multiple sections totaling in over questions. Knowing how long you have on each section and what to expect will prevent you from wasting precious seconds puzzling out directions or reading unnecessary information. Generally, your test will include: Determining whether the definition of two words is similar, contradictory, or unrelated.
Word scrambles, where you have to make a sentence from words provided and state whether it is true or false. Identifying the word in a set that doesn't belong. Geometric patterns. Prioritize your worst subjects when studying. If, after the practice test and Mensa workout, you notice that your mathematics scores are solid but your linguistic skills wanting, you should arrange your study schedule to buff up your weak subjects.
Start studying sooner than later. Cramming for a test last minute can contribute to your overall anxiety which, in turn, can lead to less restful sleep. If you plan on reviewing your trouble areas the night before your test, be sure you get plenty of sleep, as sleep deprivation will impeded your learning. Use mnemonic devices. Method 3. Get plenty of rest.
Sleep deprivation has many negative health effects, and could be the deciding factor in whether or not you pass your test. Sleep deprivation can hurt your ability to concentrate, reason, solve problems, and can even make you more forgetful than usual. Plan a pre-exam routine.
Having a routine can make the day of your test feel like any other, which can help reduce test anxiety and stress. Be consistent with your routine and eventually your routine will become a comforting series of events. Your routine shouldn't be shorter than 10 minutes, but shouldn't be too much longer than 30 minutes.
You can make a mental checklist of things you need part of your routine, which will help you remember important items on the day of your test. Eat a healthy meal before your test. Hunger can make you distracted, which can hurt your performance on the test. Where carbs are concerned, stick to complex carbs, like whole grain products, brown rice, and whole rye to name a few.
These will keep your glucose levels stable throughout the day and help you do your best on the test. Eat in moderation. Eating too much can leave you feeling drowsy or lethargic, both physically and mentally. This can lead to lower test scores than you would expect. To prevent yourself from overeating, you might want to plan out several healthy snack leading up to your test, like some fruit, whole grain toast, and eggs for breakfast, followed by a granola bar snack an hour before your noontime test.

Mensa is a great way to have fun meeting interesting people and making friends. And anyone can submit evidence of prior testing in the form of scores from a supervised, standardized test, such as the Stanford Binet, the SAT, or the CogAT. Some like the social aspect of the organization, which includes everything from local game nights to big national events like our Annual Gathering. We have more than Special Interest Groups that allow members to pursue their interests — from ancient baking techniques to quilting — with other Mensans.
Our Local Groups host speaker nights, have lunch outings, and play games at local and regional game nights. American Mensa members save on travel services, insurance, financial guidance, publications, and more through our benefit and service programs — with new benefits being added regularly. In addition to our online communities, there are hundreds of Mensa communities online run by member volunteers around the world, including those on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Yahoo!.
