Darn! I wish I could remember more. My daughter took her SSAT at Prometric but it was 2019 and now I cannot remember all the details. I want to say she could poke around in the same section but once she went to another section, no going back. As long as she was in the same section, I believe she could change an answer. I’m pretty sure of that, but I think all this info might be available on the SSAT website because I remember reading about this before going. Breaks – pretty sure they were communicated on the screen because everyone had their own tests going on different schedules so a proctor was NOT part of the time management piece for any test taker. We definitely had snacks and water for breaks, but I held them in the waiting room with me. I do not think she was allowed to have anything in the test room with her. If I recall, they gave her 3 sheets of scratch paper and there was a process for getting more (like raising a hand or something and a proctor would bring you some, but I don’t recall her needing to get more.) My daughter preferred her computer-based test and did better than she did on the paper test.
