When Will I Get My SSAT Scores?
Months of practice and three hours of testing have come to an end—you’ve completed the SSAT!
After you’ve had some well-deserved rest, your mind may return to the test, reflecting on the reading passages, rethinking the harder math questions, and obsessing over when you will receive your scores. Now that you’ve done everything you could, waiting can be difficult.
Testing Experience Statement
As soon as you’ve completed the test, a parent or guardian is required to submit a Testing Experience Statement. The purpose of the statement is to note any problems that may have occurred during the test that interfered with your ability to complete the test.
To submit a Testing Experience Statement, your parent/guardian simply signs into their SSAT account and selects the red “SSAT Testing” button and then the “Review Statement” button next to your test. If a problem did occur during the test, your parent/guardian must also email the complete details to info@ssat.org in addition to completing the Test Experience Statement.
It is important that the Test Experience Statement be completed as soon as possible because scores will not be released until the statement is completed.
Paper-Based SSAT
If you take the SSAT on paper at an in-person testing center, it will take about two weeks for you and the schools you selected during registration to get your score report. You will have access to your scores the day after the schools receive them. If you requested scores be mailed to you, it may take another week to receive them.
SSAT at Home
If you take the SSAT at home on the computer, your scores will be sent to the schools you selected during registration the Wednesday following your test date. You will have access to your scores the day after the schools receive them.
Prometric SSAT
If you take the SSAT at a Prometric test center, your scores will be sent to the schools you selected during registration the Wednesday following the Sunday ending the scoring period. The scoring period is each week from Monday to Sunday. You will have access to your scores the day after the schools receive them.
As soon as your score report is ready, you can view your scores by logging in to your SSAT account. If you want to know the minute scores are released, you can sign up to receive a text or email alert from the SSAT. After you’ve reviewed your scores, you can decide if you’d like to send them to the schools you’re applying to.
Once your scores are up, interpreting all of those different numbers can be difficult. You can check out this guide to understand your SSAT score report.
