American Mensa has just announced an exciting new program that will give every current Mensa member a voucher that they may give to any non-member to either submit prior evidence or sit for a supervised test for free.
This one time offer will run from October 1, 2017 until March 31, 2018. Prospective new members must provide the code at the time they ask to join a test session or submit their prior evidence to have the normal fee waived. See www.AmericanMensa.org/join for information on redeeming the one time voucher.
There are two ways to join Mensa: testing and prior evidence. Test sessions are scheduled regularly. Write to testing@MensaDetroit, call 2734.281.2726, or register online at www.US.Mensa.org/join/take the admission test. The Mensa test is designed for ages 14 and older.
Did you know that many people who could be members may already have test scores that qualify them to join? The second way to join AML is to submit qualifying scores from familiar tests many of us have taken. Go to www.US.Mensa.org/join/Submit qualifying testing to see a list of the most common tests that are accepted as well as instructions for how to find documentation and submit it.
Ask your Mensa member friends to provide you with the code to
save $60. There will never be a better time to join us!
