Types of SSAT Administrations

SSAT "National Test"
A national test is a group administration held at many sites in the USA, Canada and internationally on 8 Saturdays each year (see Test Calendar).

• You may take a national test as often as you like, up to 8 times per year.
• You may register by mail or fax until the regular registration deadline.
• You may register online until the test date, if space is available.
• Additional late or standby fees apply for last-minute registrations.

SSAT "Flex Test"
A flex test is a group or individual administration on any date other than the national test dates. If you are testing with an educational consultant, you will take the flex test.

• Although flex tests occur throughout the testing year, a student may only take the FLEX test one time.
• If you have already tested at a FLEX administration this year (8/1/11 - 7/31/12), you may not register for another flex test.
• If you have already tested and do not know what type of test you took, contact SSAT before continuing.
• You should only register for the flex test if you have already made an appointment with a school or consultant for the special administration date.

SSAT "Regional Flex Test"
Several regional consortia offer test administrations on dates other than the national test dates. Although they are called Regional Tests, these are flex test administrations. Therefore, a student may test at one regional flex administration OR one flex administration per year.
