The ISEE is a standardized test that many private schools use as a part of their admissions process. If you want your student to attend a private school, it may be helpful to enroll them in an Ann Arbor ISEE class by contacting 51Թ.
The ISEE is divided into four different levels based on grade level. Students who are entering ninth grade take the Upper Level test, students who are entering seventh or eighth grade take the Middle Level test, students entering fifth or sixth grade take the Lower Level test, and students entering second through fourth grade take the Primary Level. The number of questions and the amount of time students have to finish each section are the same for the Lower, Middle, and Upper Levels.
What can an Ann Arbor ISEE class help my student review?
The Upper, Middle, and Lower Levels of the ISEE all consist of five sections, which include Math Achievement, Reading Comprehension, Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning, and an Essay. While each section contains the same number of questions, each level covers different topics within those sections. What follows is an overview of each of the five sections and the topics your student can expect to encounter on them at each of the three levels.
Math Achievement
The Math Achievement Sections is made up of 47 questions and students have 40 minutes to finish it. This section is concerned with math related topics. At the Upper Level, this section covers using coordinate grids, solving equations, and finding the area and perimeter of geometric shapes. At the Middle Level, this section covers measurement, Venn Diagrams, and ratios, among other concepts. The Lower Level test covers patterns, symmetry, and estimation, to name a few concepts.
Reading Comprehension
The Reading Comprehension contains 36 questions and students have 35 minutes to finish it. This section requires students to read through passages and answer questions about them. At the Upper Level, this section includes being able to identify relationships between different literary genres, inferring information that is not explicitly stated in the passage, and cause and effect. The Middle Level has students compare and contrast information and identify figurative and literal language use. The Lower Level test involves finding the main ideas of a passage and answering questions about style and organization.
Verbal Reasoning
The Verbal Reasoning Section contains 40 questions and takes 20 minutes to complete. This section focuses on English language skills. At the Upper Level, this section covers context clues, high school vocabulary, and roots.

Essay
The Essay section contains one prompt and can be completed in 30 minutes. This section has students write an essay about a topic of interest for students at their grade level. The purpose of this essay is to give the school they're applying to a better idea of who they are based on their creativity and personality. This section also gives students a chance to show off their writing skills in terms of spelling, punctuation, and organization.
Primary Level ISEE
While the Upper, Middle, and Lower Level tests all have the same five sections the Primary Level test has between three and four sections based on the grade level of the student. Students in second grade take four sections. The section that is unique to the test given to second graders is called the Auditory Comprehension Section and it contains 6 questions. This section has students listen to different passages and answer questions about them. Topics can be either fiction or nonfiction.
Students in second through fourth grades take a test with Math, Reading, and Writing sections. The Math Section has questions about math operations and is multiple choice. The Reading Section is also multiple choice and looks at students' reading comprehension and their vocabulary. Finally, the Writing Section has students look at a picture and write a story about it.
