Test Description

The ISEE (Independent School Entrance Exam) is one of two (the SSAT is the other exam) admissions tests for many independent schools. The ISEE is a multiple-choice exam designed to test what you have learned as well as how well you comprehend what you learn. The exam is administered at two levels: Upper Level (for students currently enrolled in 8th grade or higher) and a Lower Level (for students currently enrolled in 5th, 6th, or 7th grade). The Upper Level exam consists of testing sessions that last two hours and 45 minutes distributed across a three-hour testing period.
