ISEE and SSAT

The Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE) and the Secondary School Admissions Test (SSAT) are the two most commonly used standardized tests in independent high school admissions. Like the SAT I, both measure proficiency in mathematics, reading comprehension, and English language, and include an essay portion. The ISEE includes portions testing verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, reading comprehension, and mathematics achievement, whereas the SSAT includes verbal and quantitative reasoning sections. Independent preparatory schools around the country provide unparalleled preparation for college studies and prestigious independent schools provide resources for successful college admissions not found in a more traditional school system. If you feel that an independent school is a good choice for your child, preparing for the SSAT or ISEE with Sagepoint’s expert tutors and rigorous curriculum will help your child be admitted to the best high schools in the nation.
