Where can my child take the SSAT in Los Angeles?

Los Angeles offers several options for SSAT testing, from in-person test centers to the increasingly popular SSAT at Home. Many local private schools serve as official test sites, and Prometric centers in and around LA provide additional availability throughout the year. But let’s be real—traffic, parking, and logistics can make the testing experience more stressful than it needs to be. That’s why many families now opt for the SSAT at Home, a secure, remote-proctored option taken on your own device from the comfort of your home.

Sounds easy, right? Sort of. The online version still comes with tech checks, strict timing, and a watchful virtual proctor. We help families weigh the pros and cons of both formats and prepare students for the experience they choose. From practice under real conditions to tips for minimizing distractions (yes, that includes pets), we make sure your child is test-day ready—whether they’re sitting in a classroom or at the kitchen table.
