SSAT Registration: How to register for the SSAT
Ready to register your child for the SSAT? Registration for the SSAT is available online.
Online SSAT Registration
Online SSAT registration is available for students testing on a national test date or as a flex test administration (testing with an educational consultant, a regional consortium, or an alternate group test date offered by your child's school). Go to the Registration page of the SSAT website to learn how to register for a national test date or a flex test administration. Keep in mind that students may only take one flex test administration a year (August through July). The standard registration fee for the Elementary Level test is $112. The fee for the Middle/Upper Level test is $172.
Registration Deadlines
Regular SSAT registration deadlines typically fall about three weeks before a test date; late SSAT registration deadlines typically fall a few days before a test date. Visit our SSAT Test Dates page to view specific regular and late registration deadlines.
Rush Registration
If a student misses the regular and late registration deadlines, he or she can still register for the SSAT up until 11:59pm (EST) the Wednesday before each test. There is a $59 late fee for registration starting the Sunday three weeks before the test and a $100 rush fee for registration starting the Sunday two weeks before the test (in addition to the regular $169 registration fee). Visit the SSAT website for an SSAT Test Day Checklist.
