Test Day

step 1

Register

Check the Prometric Scheduler to find a suitable testing location before registering (select "SSAT by the Enrollment Management Association" for both the Test Sponsor and Program). Note that availability may vary by location. Then create an account in our portal or log in to register for the SSAT.

step 2

Schedule

After registering, a link to schedule a Prometric test date and location will appear under “My Tests” in your account. Seat availability varies by location and may be limited, so it’s best to schedule as soon as possible.

step 3

Prepare

Carefully review the Test-Day Checklist to avoid surprises on test day. The Official SSAT Online Practice tests and quizzes provide students with the best preparation for computer-based SSAT testing.

step 4

Test Day

In addition to following the Test Day Checklist, know what to expect during check-in, security, testing, and dismissal by reviewing the Prometric Center Procedures.

Late policy: Prometric guarantees appointments up to 15 minutes after the scheduled start time; the ability to test after 15 minutes depends on seat availability.
