What is the ISEE?

The ISEE does not test how smart you are, how good a private school student you will be, or how good a primary school student you were. The ISEE tests some basic knowledge and reasoning, but most of all it tests how good a test taker you are. A naturally fast, strategic test-taker will score much better than an otherwise bright, studious person who finds it difficult to enter the unique mindset of the ISEE. While what the ISEE actually tests seems somewhat petty, it counts for a lot. That's unfair, but so is the private school admission process. So whatever your strengths, it makes sense to maximize your ability to take the test. We can help.
