Answer a few questions to connect with your perfect tutor

Why Enhanced Prep?

Many tutoring companies claim that they can help students increase their test scores, but very few can support those claims and almost none of them focus on a student's ultimate goal - getting into their dream school. Nowadays, it takes more than a single strong test score to get into college. Students have got to have the grades and the test scores and then some. At Enhanced Prep, we provide a truly customizable approach to tutoring, focusing on each student's specific needs. We match students with the right tutor who can help them study for a biology test one day and prep for their upcoming college entrance exam the next.

How Enhanced Prep ISEE Tutors Help Test-Takers

The Independent School Entrance Examination (ISEE) is a nationally recognized admissions exam for students in grades 2-12 who wish to attend elite private schools. The pressure to do well enough on the exam in order to gain entrance to a notable school can be overwhelming for students, especially those who are in younger grades. It may be the first test of its kind that students come across in their education. An ISEE tutor can work with students to familiarize them with the structure and content of the exam. This is where Enhanced Prep comes in.

Get ISEE Help for Private School Admission

The ISEE exam tests a student’s knowledge and skills in several areas such as math, verbal reasoning, reading comprehension, and writing ability for the grade level they are going into; the exam additionally tests students on their critical thinking skills, not just the content they know. Students taking the exam have the chance to prove to admissions boards that they are ready for a private school education. However, getting into a private school can feel overwhelming, which is why Enhanced Prep’s top-tier tutors emphasize the importance of students, parents, tutors and advisors working as a team. Everyone invested in a student’s success understands what they need to be successful. ISEE help at Enhanced Prep is about more than just tutoring, it’s about constant and consistent communication, so that getting the scores needed to enter their dream school is made easier.

Enhanced Prep only hires professional online ISEE tutors who have a minimum of 5 years’ experience, so you can rest assured that your child is getting the tutoring they need. With Enhanced Prep, students look forward to their next tutoring appointment; this enthusiasm is crucial to their success, which is why an online ISEE tutor can be beneficial in helping your child get into private school.

The ISEE Exam

Students entering grades 2-12 can take the ISEE exam as a way to demonstrate their knowledge and skills to private school admissions boards. There are different levels of the test depending on the grade a student is going into. The lower level is for admission into grades 5 or 6, the middle level is for admission into grades 7 or 8, and the upper level is for admission into high school, or grades 9,10,11, and 12. Primary 2, 3, and 4 are also available for their respective grade levels. The test is offered every month of the year but can only be taken one time per testing period; there are 3 testing periods. To make sure your child is prepared for the specific exam they need to take, consider seeking online ISEE help at Enhanced Prep.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I prepare for the ISEE?

Students should prepare for the ISEE by paying attention in class and completing assignments so they don’t fall behind on material they should know. Reading the guide for the corresponding exam is a good first step to becoming familiar with the exam and its scoring process. After that, students should take multiple practice tests to ensure they know the material and are prepared for what test day will be like. An ISEE tutor can help students create a study plan, so they are able to see what areas of focus they need the most help in and stay on track.

Is the ISEE hard?

The ISEE can be difficult for students who don’t study and take enough practice tests. However, students are still given a chance to prove themselves on the test by not being penalized for incorrect answers. So, students will have a better chance of getting the score they desire by avoiding skipping questions they aren’t sure of. Enhanced Prep’s ISEE tutors can help students with tailored test-taking strategies so they can remain confident in their abilities on test day.

How many times can I retake the ISEE?

Students have 3 chances a year to take the ISEE test. Testing periods are divided into seasons, with 4 months per season. Students are not allowed to take the test multiple times in one season, so they should plan their retakes and study schedules accordingly. If test-takers are worried about their ability to pass the exam on the first try, or they want to improve their scores from a previous attempt, Enhanced Prep’s online ISEE tutors can help them craft a study plan to get the score they’re aiming for on their next retake.

Are calculators allowed on the ISEE?

Calculators are not permitted on the exam unless a student has been approved to use one because of an accommodation. If a student needs an accommodation, they must submit a request form, which includes providing documentation for why they need an accommodation. If a student is allowed to use a calculator, they can only use a four-function calculator provided by their family.

What is a passing score on the ISEE?

The ISEE exam is not a pass/fail exam. Students are scored from 760 to 940 in each section of the test (verbal reasoning, reading comprehension, quantitative reasoning, and mathematics achievement). Another way to calculate scores is percentile ranking. A 70th percentile ranking could mean a student did better than 70 percent of other test-takers. Stanine rank is the last scoring method; scores are measured from 1-9 and the higher the score, the higher the rank. Higher scores are desirable, but admissions boards don’t just take scores into account when reviewing applications. If higher scores are desired, ISEE tutors can use score reports to determine what areas a student needs more work in.
