The day before your scheduled SSAT, you should relax, read a book, perhaps exercise, and get plenty of sleep. In fact, you should prioritize sleep the entire week before the test, as those earlier nights’ sleep will be critical. On the morning of the test, wake up with ample time to eat a good breakfast and to arrive at the test center at least 30 minutes prior to the start of testing. Do not attempt to study or cram last-minute information on the night before or day of the test! This will only cause undue stress and anxiety. Now is the time to feel confident in everything you’ve already done to prepare, and allow all of the hard work that you have done to solidify.
What to bring to the testing center:
Admission ticket
A snack
Water
Pro Tip: Put your snack and water in a clear resealable plastic bag with your name on it.
For paper testing:
Four No. 2 pencils
Prohibited items:
Calculators
Pens
Backpacks
Cell phones (must be off and cannot be accessed during testing)
Scratch paper (provided at computer testing locations)
Watches (a clock will be visible in the testing room)
You’ve done all you can to prepare for this moment. Make sure you have everything you need and you’ll be set up for success on test day!
