Scorers can sign up with as many of the companies as they would like assuming you meet the criteria for each company. Once you are hired and trained you will receive an email when a test scoring session is coming up. You can then sign up for shifts that fit your schedule. Most shifts are four hours long but you can sign up for as many or as few as you would like or skip the scoring session altogether and wait for the next one.
