and wonder if any of you have any ideas what may be in store for me?<

Did they give you any idea what kind of testing? I've taken lots of 
different tests, all for various technical writing positions. One test had 
me document how to use a paper clip. Another had me edit a paragraph for 
spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Others were tool tests (Word, Frame, 
Visio, etc.). One employer gave me an hour-long personality survey to fill 
out. Afterwards, the HR type told me I had scored in the executive level, 
but never asked me back for a second interview. I guess it depends on what 
the position is, and what they are looking for.
