Private and Boarding schools in the U.S. and Canada use the Independent Secondary School Exam results to determine if the student is eligible to enroll and succeed at their school. The ISEE is given at three levels. The test at the lower level is designed for pupils in grades five to six. The Middle level test is for children in middle school from grades seven to eight. The Upper level is intended for high-school students in grades nine to twelve. Even though there are three levels at which the test is offered, the sections that comprise the exams remain the same but the difficulty increases with the level.
There are roughly one-hundred and twenty-seven questions and one essay on the Lower level test while the Middle and Upper Level tests are comprised of one-hundred and sixty questions, one essay prompt and have a longer time limit. There are five sections covered at each level of the ISEE: Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, Mathematics Achievement and Writing. Only the Writing section is unscored. The essay the test taker composes in the Writing section is evaluated by the admissions directors of the schools to which they are applying. English Lexicon suggests that students also enroll in our English Academic Writing course which has been excellently designed to teach the methods to composing high-grade essays if they wish to excel in this area.
The ISEE and the SSAT are very similar entrance exams included in the admissions processes of many of the top private and boarding schools in the United States and Canada.

If the desired school requires SSAT exam results, we suggest that they enroll in our SSAT Preparation Course which will amply prepare them for the material that will be on the SSAT exam.
