How often is the SSAT offered in Saudi Arabia each year?

The SSAT isn’t a once-a-year event. It’s offered multiple times throughout the year, giving students in Saudi Arabia several opportunities to register. There are two main formats to know about: Standard SSAT dates and the Flex Test option.

• Standard SSAT dates typically fall between October and April. Students can take up to six paper-based SSATs per year on these dates.

• For additional flexibility, you can take up to two computer-based SSATs per year at Prometric centers in cities like Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dhahran.

• If you still need another chance, the Flex Test allows for one extra test date per year, arranged through an approved educational consultant or school.

Important note: The SSAT at Home is not available for students in Saudi Arabia. This option is only offered to students physically located in the U.S., U.S. territories, and Canada on test day. International students, including those in Saudi Arabia, must take the SSAT in person at an authorized center such as Prometric.

In short, students can take the SSAT up to nine times per year (six Standard, two Prometric, and one Flex). The key is to register early because spots—especially in November and December—fill quickly.
