[quote=Anonymous]My older daughter took the test in Jan 2024 and we prepped diligently for the exam, particularly math. At that point, big part of hunter's math portion of the test was not based on regular math program. Because of the prep, she felt that the exam was much easier than what she anticipated.

This year, my younger daughter took the new version of the exam. She is naturally gifted in math, and the new ISEE test is based practically entirely on the school program. She did very well in practice tests at home. With ISEE, the main challenge is time management, not really mathematical thinking like it used to be. Also, now Hunter exam has allocated specific time foe ELA and math, whereas before the kids could spend their time however they wanted.

After the exam this year, my daughter said that the time pressure on math was very hard. Many of her friends did not finish the math portion of the exam and were really upset.

Curious to hear what other parents thought about the change. [/quote]
