To secure in-person testing accommodations for the TEAS at a PSI center, you must submit a formal request with supporting medical documentation to PSI at least 30 days before your desired test date, as approval can take up to six weeks.

2. Gather Documentation: Obtain a letter on professional letterhead from a doctor or qualified specialist detailing your diagnosis, limitations, and specific recommended accommodations.
