Free Study Guides for the

ISEE

The ISEE is an assessment of all those things you have learned in school over a number of years, so you can’t really cram for it and get a better score. Knowing what content to expect, however, may help you feel more at ease. Our free study guides for the ISEE can help you do this by outlining the subject matter and skills that will be tested.

Sections of the ISEE

Upper Level: Essay

It may be tempting to think that the Essay section of the ISEE is less important than the other four sections because it is not scored, but beware. Your essay may not have a score on it, but it will be forwarded with your scores to the school to which you apply. Officials there will go over it as the only example they have of your ability to write. Be sure to go through our study guide so you will know on what standards school officials will be judging!
