[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD self-prepped for ISEE for 9th grade admissions. She started taking the various subject practice tests about 2.5-3 months before to the test date, starting in the fall. Then she analyzed the mistakes she made and if the question was about a concept she didn't understand, she reviewed it or learned it. I would say she spent about 1-1.5 total hours a week on average. The preparation was especially effective for the math sections, and she ended up doing very well. The only thing they need is access to practice tests and the answer keys, which you can purchase directly from test innovators. [/quote]

I just looked up the practice test info since it was digital, and prep brought up the math achievement section the most, from 7 on the first practice test to 9 on the actual test. DD says that the practice tests seemed harder than the real thing. Maybe they do this on purpose? I don't think she would have needed to prep at all, because I heard ISEE scores don't matter that much to admissions past a certain percentile, but we really needed aid and were hoping they would take scores into account for FA/merit.[/quote]
