How do I order tests?

If you've been assigned the SAT Suite ordering role by your access manager, you can use the SAT Suite Ordering and Registration (SSOR) site to order tests in the SAT Suite of Assessments—SAT, PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT 10, and PSAT 8/9. Note: Work with your district to understand what they plan to order on your behalf. If your district places an order for you, you shouldn’t place a duplicate order for that assessment and grade combination.

1. Sign in to SSOR.
2. Click the Order New Digital Tests button.
3. Enter the number of tests you need for each assessment. Note: This should be the largest number of tests you might need.
4. Confirm the tests for which you're placing your order.
5. Choose a start date for your testing window for each assessment in your order. If your district already placed an order for the same assessment, then you will see the date they selected. Depending on how they placed their order, you may be able to adjust the district-chosen date. If you don't see the calendar button, then you can't adjust the date selected by your district.
   • Schools have discretion to change their planned test date(s) without informing College Board or completing any additional steps in SSOR, although the original intended test date may be referenced in email communications.
   • If your intended test date changes, update the date in SSOR so your school receives communications from College Board at the right times.
6. Choose grades for each assessment in your order. Note: If your district already ordered the tests and grades you intend to test, then you don't need to place an additional order. Since grades selected in this step determine what SSOR expects the school data coordinator to upload, don't select grades you don’t intend to test.
7. Confirm or edit contact information for your school. Ensure all contact information is accurate so contacts receive important communications.
8. Optional: Enter a purchase order number for your order, if needed. If you're unsure if this is needed, check with the Billing Contact associated with your order.
9. Review your order and submit.

To order SAT Suite assessments, follow these steps:

1. Sign in to SSOR.
2. Click the Order New Tests button.
   • If you don't see the option to order tests, there could be several reasons. Read more about not being able to order tests.
3. Enter the total number of tests your schools need for each assessment that you wish to pay for. This should be the largest number of tests all the schools together might need.
4. Confirm the tests you're ordering.
5. Allocate the total test volume to schools within your district.
   • This will determine the maximum number of test takers who may be registered at the school for the tests and grades you're ordering.
   • Be sure to complete this step or it will cause issues with registration and invoicing.
6. Choose a start date based on the earliest testing date within your district.
   • If you wish, you can enable schools to adjust this date by checking the box under the date selection calendar. This will allow individual schools the option to adjust the date you selected for them using their school's SSOR.
   • Schools have discretion to change their planned test date(s) without informing College Board or completing any additional steps in SSOR, although the original intended test date may be referenced in or used to send time-sensitive emails.
7. Choose grades for each assessment in your order.
   • When you select a grade in this step, schools you've allocated tests to won't be able to place a new order for the same test and grade combination you selected once the district order has been placed.
8. Confirm who will be uploading test taker data for registrations for each assessment in your order. If you choose district, then your district must upload data for all schools included in the order. If you choose school, then each school must upload data for this order; your district won't be able to upload data for this order.
9. Confirm or edit contact information for your district. Ensure all contact information is accurate so contacts receive important communications.
10. Optional: Request a paper contract and enter a purchase order number for your order if needed. Most districts don't need to request a paper contract in this step; only do so if your procurement process requires it. If you're unsure if this is needed, check with the Billing Contact associated with your order.
11. Review your order details, view and accept the ordering terms and conditions, and submit your order.
