SSA (School Superintendent Assessment) Prep
The School Superintendent Assessment (SSA, ETS 6991) is used by several states for district-level superintendent licensure. It's a four-hour, computer-delivered exam of selected-response and constructed-response items aligned to AASA and NELP standards. Here's how it's structured — with realistic COSMIQ practice.
COSMIQ prepares you for the SSA (Superintendent) and administers realistic full-length mock tests — it does not administer the real exam or issue a superintendent license.

Does COSMIQ issue a superintendent license?
No. COSMIQ prepares you for the SSA and administers realistic practice — it does not administer the real exam or issue a superintendent license. Licensure comes from your state.
