- Once you get into PsycTests, change the search from Advanced to Basic.
- Enter the name of the test (or test authors), e.g. “Seasonal Beliefs Questionnaire”
- Review the references and click on the test name to review the complete test record.
- To see if the actual test is available, look for the Ovid Database PDFs to the right of the test reference.
