[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We found the ISEE super difficult so those kids are lucky and pretty smart and definitely in the minority. By design a 7–9 is roughly the top 25% to top 5% nationally, so it’s statistically impossible for ‘most kids’ to reach that range no matter how much prep they do.[/quote] The context for this was kids applying to TT schools in upper grades. And the overall probability of getting a seat in that context is far lower than 25%, so it's the other factors (or luck) that are decisive. Plus, we are talking about a self-selected cohort from NYC, not overall national averages. Again, anecdotally, everyone we know in my child's peer group did well, some with minimal to no prep -- you can use that as one data point if you prefer.[/quote] Seems unlikely.[/quote]
