Question: What happens during a Neuropsychological exam?
i'm having an exam because the extreme level of stress and frequency of sever panic attacks & headaches among other things.

it will take all day. what all are they going to do?

Answers:

I am sure that the examination itself will not take all day but maybe they need to check you out over a period of time and if there is more than one professional required they may be seeing you at different times according to their schedule.

I would imagine that the psychological part of the examination would take approximately an hour. That will entail answering a whole load of questions about your personal history, current circumstances and symptoms. You will likely need to complete some questionnaires too.

I am not so familiar with the neurological aspect of the examination but I would assume that this would entail more questions and also some physical examinations. I don't believe that any of the physical examinations will be invasive.

I have done a quick check and there is a whole list of information for you here:
