Hey, ZZDank. Try not to be nervous. It'll be painless and easy. And for goodness sakes, give yourself a break on the OCD! That's a very common ailment and, with help, your life's going to be easier. Seriously, look at this as a positive step. (I know you can't help being nervous. That's part of what's behind OCD.)

They use several types of screening tests for OCD, but they're all pretty similar. You can get a general idea at these links:

Well... maybe when you arrive there, the doc will ask you "was you too much worried about the test?" and when you answer, he will say "well... this was the test. As you was too much worried about the test, it shows you have OCD." :p
