![]() ![]() If you have questions regarding any differences in rules and regulations surrounding a particular accommodation for computer-based versus paper-based testing, please refer to the accommodations Appendix below. ![]() All things considered, EMA recommends seeking approval for all accommodations which may be necessary across all modes of testing, in case your circumstances change and need to test in a different mode than originally planned. However, both computer-based SSAT options require the student to click and select an answer on screen for each test item and no physical testing materials are provided. For example, students who normally answer directly in their test book when completing paper-based testing, would need to have this accommodation approved in advance of testing to be permitted to answer in this manner. IMPORTANT: Not all traditional accommodations will be necessary for a computer-based test.If you have questions or concerns about any particular accommodations or a mode of testing, please do not hesitate to email EMA at The SSAT is designed to ensure no advantages or disadvantages exist for students taking one mode of testing or another (computer-based versus paper-based) however, differences exist between the two modes of testing as it pertains to which accommodations may be needed to complete testing and how each approved accommodation will roll-out on test day. For a better understanding of the differences of how each accommodation will be provided on test day for each mode of testing, please view our “common” accommodation descriptors in the appendix below. ![]() By doing so, you will ensure that your student is approved for any and all accommodations that may become necessary for any mode of testing. With some SSAT accommodations being unnecessary when taking the computer-based test versus a traditional paper-based test, it is recommended that any student seeking accommodations for a computer-based test, apply for accommodations with the possibility of taking a paper-based test in mind. As is the same for all test mode options, any student wishing to take a computer-based SSAT At-Home with accommodations is required to apply and be approved for their needed accommodations prior to registering for testing. ![]()
