How long does a neuropsychological evaluation take?
A complete evaluation generally takes between 2 and 5 hours to complete, but can take up to 8 hours, depending on the complexity of the issues to be addressed by the evaluation and the patient’s condition (for example, fatigue, confusion, and motor slowing can extend the time required for an evaluation). Occasionally, it is necessary to complete the evaluation over 2 or more sessions. In general, the clinician attempts to elicit the patient’s best possible performance under optimal conditions.
