What time does the SSAT begin or start?

The test start time depends upon whether you will be taking an SSAT at Home, Prometric, or paper-based Flex or Standard SSAT.

For the SSAT at Home or Prometric SSAT, your start time will be what you selected when scheduling. For a Flex test, the start time will either be communicated to you from the test center separately or may be listed on your admission ticket. If you have any questions about Flex start times, contact your test center. For SSAT Standard tests, testing begins at 9am unless otherwise noted on your admission ticket.

For in person testing, plan to arrive 30 minutes ahead of the test start time. For the SSAT at Home, plan to start 15 minutes ahead of your scheduled time.
