Accommodations Handbook

50% Additional Time (1.5x)

  • Students testing with 50% additional time will be provided at least a five (5) minute break between each section of any paper SSAT or computer Middle/Upper Level SSAT At Home administration. Any student completing a computer Middle/Upper Level SSAT with 50% additional time at a Prometric test center will be provided the same break structure as general test takers due to test software programming restrictions, but the breaks provided will also be extended by 50% additional time.
  • 추가 시간이 50% 주어진 학생은 시험 당일 최대 10명(10) 이하의 소규모 그룹에 자동으로 배정됩니다.
  • Any student completing a paper SSAT with 50% additional time in a small group setting will be required to use or wait out the full amount of time allotted for each test section before they will be permitted to move on to the next section, even if the student has completed a section or indicates their readiness to move on, to ensure all students have an equal opportunity to maximize the testing time for each section. Students taking a paper test in an individualized setting based on their approved accommodations will be permitted to move through testing at their own pace and may forgo any remaining time in a test section at their discretion. Middle and Upper Level test-takers sitting for either computer SSAT test option, whether at home or a Prometric Test Center, will also have the ability to choose to move on to the next section before the full time has elapsed for any test section or break time.

*Additional breaks between sections 1 & 2 and sections 3 & 4 of the SSAT will be provided ONLY to those students approved for any amount of additional time as a testing accommodation when completing a paper SSAT or SSAT at Home (Middle and Upper Level Only). Due to test programming differences between the computer and paper tests, students completing a Middle or Upper Level SSAT with 50% additional time at a Prometric test center will only receive breaks following the writing sample and Reading sections. Please review the computer-based testing schedule above for exact break timings.

**Due to time constraints, students completing the paper SSAT with additional time are NOT required to complete the experimental portion of the SSAT; however, any student completing the computer version of the Middle or Upper Level SSAT will be required to complete this section due to test design.
