From the moment you are admitted to the test center until the time of dismissal, your test administrator follows precise instructions for the proctoring of the SSAT. Any deviations from these uniform testing conditions are reported immediately. Of course, a student with a disability may apply for testing accommodations, but the processes and procedures for the test's administration remain the same for every student.


There are two types of in-person SSAT administrations:

  1. Standard - The Standard SSAT is given on eight designated Saturdays during the academic year at test sites around the world.
  2. Flex - The Flex SSAT is given to an individual or group on any date other than the eight Standard dates.


Computer-based testing options include SSAT Prometric Testing and The SSAT at Home
