Just remember to bring your ID and do not eat breakfast before you go.
If you go for an exam on a Saturday, there is no Xray.

HOURS: **
Weekdays:  9-11:30am on weekdays
Weekends: 9-11:30am -  2nd and 4th Saturdays of each month.
*while the official hours indicate that exams can be done until 1PM, the reality is that it's best to come in by 11:30 since staff may take their lunch hour at Noon.
**walk-ins are accepted.
