So I am in Alexandria for testing tomorrow. My notice definitely says the testing is at OPM, but I'm staying at the Embassy Suites and there are signs that say "ALJ Examination 5th Floor." I just want to be sure....the test itself is still at OPM, right??? Paranoid! Thanks.

The interview will be at Embassy Suites, your second day. Anyone correct me if the procedure has changed in the last few weeks.

There's nothing noted on the OPM website's ALJ page re: any change of location; good luck!

I’m a little confused – I received my notice for testing this month (March). From my review of this forum topic, I thought that I would be tested for the WD and logic-based test on the same day at OPM, and then go for the structured interview at Embassy suites the next day.
They’ve got me taking the written exam on the first day, the logic-based test the following morning, and then I will head off for the structured interview that afternoon.
Is it possible that I have a different schedule than most people because I requested voice recognition to do the written? Any thoughts would be welcome.

@mikejf, that's probably the reason. Good luck with your testing!

That is probably the reason for the change. I haven't head of that before. Maybe someone who has done voice recognition can chime in. If you have an email address for OPM, you might see what they have to say.

Check your materials but I would say it is 1900 Diagonal Rd, Alexandria, VA 22314 unless there has been a change. Pixie.

I seem to be having de'ja' vu (sorry about the apostrophes not being properly directed) about an earlier back and forth with Gary re disclosure of exam locations. Light-hearted discussions on this very serious board are always refreshing (to me).

When does DC testing end for this cycle? I remember being able to schedule testing through the end of March, but doesn't OPM offer a make up period for those who had to re-schedule?

The last online testing schedule date was Thursday March 23 (with interview following Friday). One thing I have not heard mentioned was when OPM would be doing testers that need a reasonable accommodation. Are they post 3/23 or were they tested during the same period of Sept-Mar?.

Based on a recent post, it sounds like they are working in the accommodations during the testing period. Somebody that tested this week had an odd schedule because of a requested accommodation.
