The ISEE (Independent School Entrance Exam) is a standardized test required for admission to many independent schools. Schools in the Puget Sound area that require the ISEE include: The Seattle Academy, The Overlake School, Lakeside School, and others. There are three levels of the test: Lower (for students entering grades 5 and 6), Middle (for students entering grades 7 and 8) and Upper (for students entering grades 9-12). All levels of the test contain the same five sections: Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, and Mathematics Achievement, plus an essay. The test takes a little over three hours. We have found that students at these grade levels are much more successful receiving test preparation instruction either in a one-on-one environment or in small groups of students of similar skill levels. Thus, we do not offer any regular classroom course for the ISEE at the present time. If you are interested in ISEE preparation for your child, contact us and we can discuss a preparation program that best suits your child's test preparation needs and work out a schedule that is convenient for you. If you know of a number of students who could meet on the same schedule, we can set up small group tutoring at rates per student significantly below our standard tutoring costs. Our tutoring rates are available here. Our ISEE instructor is Steve Sandweiss.

    Review of Sandweiss Test Prep, July 01, 2008

    I loved the level of personal attention in this course. Class size was small and I learned a lot of really helpful test taking skills. I had much more confidence by the time I took the test. Thanks Sandweiss Test Prep!

    Review of Sandweiss Test Prep, June 30, 2008

    Steve is very nice, but that is about as far as it goes. In preparing for the GMAT, Sandweiss Test Prep is just a regurgitation of other, more intense classes that at leas have a money-back guarantee. To replace this, a student is allowed to re-take the entire class at no charge if the student does not score up to his/her standards on the exam. According to the owner Steve Sandweiss, most students take the class twice anyway. In retrospect, if students go into the prep counting on taking it twice, that does not say good things about the level of preparedness.

    Bottom Line: Waste of money.
