Are there SSAT test centers in cities in Saudi Arabia?

Yes, there are SSAT test centers in Saudi Arabia, primarily through Prometric, which partners with the Enrollment Management Association to deliver secure, computer-based SSAT exams. Major cities like Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dhahran typically have Prometric centers, so most families won’t need to travel far.

Prometric centers provide a controlled environment that mirrors the experience U.S. students have, ensuring that the test is administered fairly and consistently. Students check in with proper identification, follow strict testing protocols, and take the exam on computers using official SSAT software.

Currently, SSAT at Home is not available for students in Saudi Arabia or any other country outside the U.S., U.S. territories, and Canada. All international students, including those in Saudi Arabia, must take the test at an authorized center like Prometric.

To make the process smoother, register early because testing seats at Prometric centers can fill up quickly. Both standard-level and upper-level SSAT exams administered at these centers are accepted by U.S. private schools with the same credibility as those taken in the U.S.
