More than 700 testing centers are located across the United States, including Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. Of these, approximately 200 contain reference materials that can be used by surveyor candidates while taking the SMQT (note that candidates always have the option to bring in their own materials, even if they are available at a testing center) . Foryour information, a list of the testing center names and locations which have reference materials is contained at the end of this document. No specific contact information is listed for a center, because all scheduling and/or cancelling of the SMQT is done through a general number/email/online; not at an individual test center (see page 6 of this document for additional information)  \nSMQT CANDIDATES ROSTER SHEET  \nStates/ROs (if an RO surveyor candidate) work with surveyor candidates to determine when and where they will take the SMQT. States/ROs will fill out the SMQT Candidate Roster Sheet completely and list 3 possible dates and times for each surveyor candidate to take the test. A sample roster sheet appears on the next page. Note that the first and lastname listed on the roster must match the name on the identification documents that are presented at the test site. While common nicknames are acceptable (e.g., Bob is listed on the roster while Robert is listed on the identification), entirely different names are not (as might be the case if someone uses their middle name at work but has a different official first name) . If you are not sure of a surveyor candidate’s “official” name, please ask them prior to registration. Be sure to include ALL information that is requested on the roster sheet.  \nStates/ROs will be responsible for forwarding the roster sheet to PSI Services LLC (PSI), the contractor currently responsible for overseeing the administration of the SMQT, via email (preferred), fax, or mail. Forward the roster sheet to the following two contacts:  \nSheila Burke  \nEmail: [sburke@psionline.com](sburke@psionline.com)  \nCathleen M. Callahan, PhD.  \nEmail: [ccallahan@psionline.com](ccallahan@psionline.com)  \nPSI Services LLC  \n28915 Clemens Road, Suite 216 Westlake, OH 44145  \nPhone: (440) 808-1514  \nFax: (440) 808-1519  \nStates must also ensure that the RO receives a copy of the roster or is aware that a surveyor candidate will be registered for the test.  \nPSI will enter the information from the roster into a database, which will serve as confirmation to the testing centers that the surveyor candidate(s) listed on the roster sheet is/are eligible to take the SMQT. PSI will have 3 days from the time they receive a roster from the State/RO to ensure the roster information has been added to the eligibility list database.
