School Onboarding

• Every September, Delaware provides College Board with a list of schools eligible/required to test along with their principal's and district, county, or corporation test coordinator's name and contact information ("state eligible schools list").
• College Board provides each principal and district, county, or corporation test coordinator on the state eligible schools list access through their College Board professional account dashboard to the SAT Suite Ordering and Registration (SSOR) system, as well as the ability to manage SSOR access for other school personnel, as desired.
• By the second Tuesday in October, each school enters their spring testing details in SSOR (e.g., coordinator-level staff names and contact information, whether off-site testing will be used, estimated number of test takers, estimated testing dates within the window, etc.).

Test Administration Team Roles

• Test Coordinator: Expected to be at the school to supervise all activities related to test administration. Responsible for staff recruitment, training, and assignments; overseeing the use of facilities; supervising all test administration activities; and handling any emergencies or disruptions. The test coordinator and SSD coordinator are also the two roles responsible for reviewing accommodations and ensuring students testing with accommodations and supports have a smooth administration.
• SSD Coordinator: Responsible for supporting students testing with accommodations. This includes requesting accommodations and supports, validating student accommodations data, helping the test coordinator seat students in appropriate groups, and working with proctors and technology coordinators to ensure students can test successfully with their accommodations.
• Technology Coordinator: Can be a district- or school-level staff member but must have the expertise and permissions to install Bluebook on managed devices and configure the network (or manage staff who do). The IT professionals at your school can explore the list of relevant responsibilities at bluebook.org/tech.
• Technology Monitor: Help students and staff with technical issues on test day in a designated help room.
• Proctors: Responsible for conducting a secure, valid administration. They're accountable for everyone in their testing room and everything that takes place there.
• Hall/Room Monitors: Assist with test administration duties. Monitors don't administer the test, but they have access to Test Day Toolkit to help direct students to their assigned rooms, answer questions, monitor testing areas, and submit irregularities if needed.

Important Dates

By December 1, College Board will email each school's or program's primary test coordinator, as identified in SSOR, with access to an Interactive Checklist (see "School Onboarding" above). This digital tool helps test coordinators and their designees manage SAT administration tasks through timely reminders. Users can mark tasks as In Progress, Complete, or I'm Stuck. Selecting I'm Stuck prompts Customer Service to follow up with assistance.

For detailed instructions, see our Interactive Checklist Overview
