Students with testing accommodations may test in a shared testing room or may test individually depending on the site and the student’s accommodations. Your student will then be directed by staff to a specific computer station, normally by number, to begin testing. Staff will constantly monitor the room and all test takers through a large glass window, as well as with security cameras. Students will be seated in a room with other SSAT test takers and other students and adults taking admission, licensure, and other types of exams. Staff may provide additional directions if they suspect any prohibited items. Students may be asked to walk through a metal detector or be scanned by a handheld wand detector. Security & Admission to the Testing RoomĪs you and your student leave the waiting area, but before your student enters the testing room, staff may ask you to form a line at security. Staff will ensure proper social distancing between all staff and test takers during testing. Parents/guardians will accompany test takers during the security check and then will be directed back to the waiting area. Parents/guardians may not go to the testing room.

Your student will then be directed to check-in staff for a quick security check, or possibly asked to wait patiently if you are early or your testing seat is not ready yet. Staff may remind both you and your student of rules related to testing and also any COVID-19 requirements. You, the parent/guardian, may retain any snacks and prohibited items, or you may ask check-in staff for a locker to secure your student’s belongings.

Staff will check your student’s information and mark them present. Check-InĪt the check-in area, you will be asked to confirm your student's name and your information. The types of questions, the sections, and related parts of the computer-based SSAT are the same. Your student will simply use a computer for all test sections instead of a book and an answer sheet.
