If you bought your car new in California then you don't have to worry about it for 6 years.
On newer cars, they simply plug the OBDII tester in, and if the ECU says all it good then you're done.
Sometimes, they do a visual inspection and a dyno test to evaluate rolling emissions. I don't know what flags the more detailed inspection, but the last 3+ smog tests on 2000ish+ vehicles have been simple OBDII checks. They never even opened the hood.
