The ISEE (Independent School Entrance Exam) Upper Level is a test that students in grades 8-11 may take to enroll in grades 9-12 at a private school. The exam has five sections, the first of which is called Verbal Reasoning. This section tests a candidate's vocabulary and inference skills, leaving analysis to later sections of the exam. If your child is struggling to prepare for this test, Varsity Tutors can refer you to an experienced ISEE-Upper Level Verbal Reasoning tutor who can help them work toward academic success.
Here are some of the benefits of ISEE-Upper Level Verbal Reasoning tutoring:

- Access to a knowledgeable expert who can answer any questions you have
- The ability to take practice tests to prepare for exam day
- Proven test-taking strategies if a student needs to guess
There are two types of questions on the Verbal Reasoning portion: synonyms and sentence completions. The synonym questions provide one word and then four possible choices, among which students are expected to select the one closest in meaning to the first word. The sentence completion questions consist of sentences with blanks that students are expected to fill in using one of the four answers provided. Both formats are unique, so students may benefit from taking practice exams during ISEE-Upper Level Verbal Reasoning tutoring sessions until it feels more familiar.
