SSAT Sign-Up Instructions

Registering:

1. Go to www.SSAT.org/flex and begin a new registration. The SSAT website will prompt you through the sign-up process automatically. If you encounter any difficulties throughout the process, please call us at (203) 661-1609 (Greenwich), or (203) 594-9777 (New Canaan).

2. One of the registration steps will require the codes of schools to which you would like the scores sent. Please make sure to name us as a recipient along with any other schools you would like to receive the scores. Our Test Center Code is 0335 for Greenwich and 0334 for New Canaan.

3. There will be an option to expedite the results. This option is not necessary if you have already decided to send the scores directly to us. The results received by us will be forwarded on to you immediately.

4. You may sign up for the Web Bundle if you are cumulatively sending your results to more than two schools over the course of the admission season. Please note, you are not required to name the schools at the time of sign-up.

Special Accommodations:

Children who normally receive special accommodations in a school setting may be granted accommodations for the SSAT as well. Under “Special Accommodations” on both Form A and Form B on the SSAT website, choose the one which most closely reflects your child's needs. Upon completion of registration, please complete and fax the form to SSAT. The form and your request will be reviewed for approval of the accommodations. Please allow at least two weeks for SSAT to consider your request.
