The ISEE (Independent School Entrance Examination) is a test that is widely accepted by independent schools and private schools. Admission boards will look at scores students get on the ISEE as a way to get an accurate assessment of the student's current knowledge and skill level. If your student is applying to a private school that accepts the ISEE, getting them professional ISEE preparation help can benefit them.

What will be covered on the ISEE?

There are a few different levels of the ISEE corresponding to different grades and age levels. The Primary Level of the ISEE is administered to students going into the second, third, and fourth grades. There are three versions of the Primary Level corresponding to those three grades. The Lower Level of the ISEE is administered to students going into the fifth and sixth grades. Students entering the seventh and eighth grades will be administered the Middle Level of the ISEE. Finally, the Upper Level of the ISEE is designed for students entering high school grade levels.

The following is an outline of the ISEE. The Primary Level of the ISEE, including Levels 2, 3, and 4, will have three sections. The Reading section and the Math section will have multiple-choice questions. The Writing section will present students with a picture prompt and require them to write an essay based on it. In addition, Primary Level 2 of the ISEE (which is for students going into the second grade) will have yet another section called Auditory Comprehension. There will be six questions on the Auditory Comprehension section. Students will listen to recordings and answer questions based on those recordings.

The Lower Level, Middle Level, and Upper Level of the ISEE will all have the same outline, and they will also have the same time limits. The Verbal Reasoning section will have 40 questions, for which students will be given 20 minutes. For the Quantitative Reasoning section, students will have 35 minutes to answer 37 questions. For the Reading Comprehension section, students will have 35 minutes to answer 36 questions. For the Math Achievement section, students will have 40 minutes to answer 47 questions. Students will have 30 minutes for the essay.

Each level of the ISEE will have questions that are progressively harder, even though they have the same outline and the same number of questions as a lower level.

What kind of Tucson ISEE prep should I get for my student?

Fortunately, you have access to a number of options when it comes to preparing your student for the ISEE in Tucson. A popular option is signing up for a Tucson ISEE prep course. One benefit of doing this is that your student can get a chance to study together with other students in a fun and exciting environment. These courses take place over the internet, so there will be no need for a long commute.

There are many other benefits of studying in a group environment, such as a Tucson ISEE prep class, instead of studying alone. Studying in a class can decrease procrastination, as there will be a set time for students to come together and study. Studying with other students under the instruction of a trained professional can help students understand topics quicker. A student studying alone can struggle with certain topics, but a student who is studying in a class can gain valuable insights from the other students and the instructor. The instructor can clearly explain issues that a student in the class is having difficulty understanding. Studying in a class can give your student the opportunity to see topics from a different perspective.

Studying in a class can also give your student the opportunity to fill in learning gaps. When studying alone, there are things that a student can miss. There can be gaps in their knowledge, they may forget to review a certain important subject, or they may not fully understand a certain point. Taking a comprehensive class can help your student fill those gaps. These classes go on for either two weeks or four weeks, depending on which section you choose.

Another popular option is signing up for private lessons with a Tucson ISEE tutor. A private mentor can help students who don't want to study in a group environment for whatever reason. One of the benefits of studying with a private instructional mentor is that students can break the monotony of their studies. When a student studies alone all the time, it can get monotonous, which can affect the quality of their studies. Studying with a private educational mentor can make things more engaging.

A private instructor can also be there to answer any questions your student may have. In a class setting, it is difficult for any single student to ask as many questions as they want. There is an entire class that the instructor needs to attend to. However, a private instructor can study with your student at their own pace without any outside distractions or time pressures. If your student feels as if there was not enough time to ask all of their questions and get satisfactory answers, they can schedule additional tutoring sessions. The instructor can come to you and schedule sessions based on your student's personal schedule.

How can my student get started with Tucson ISEE prep?

Regardless of whether your student prefers a two-week course, a four-week course, private mentoring, or a combination of private instruction and an ISEE prep course, Varsity Tutors can help. We can also help your student decide which kind of Tucson ISEE preparation is best for them. We can enroll your student in a course or connect you with an educated mentor who your student can study with one-on-one.
