jurisdictions - all of which are scheduled on the same day - you must submit a Tompkins County Cross-Filing Form. This form

sitting at the State site, the State will notify you of when and where to report for your examination(s) and you should bring all
admittance letters to the State site. If you are not taking a State examination, bring all admittance letters to your chosen testing
