Test Innovators is working with Eastside Catholic to offer two free ISEE/SSAT prep classes this fall. Any interested prepper in the Seattle area is invited to attend. Our expert ISEE & SSAT educators will cover what to expect on these tests – their formats, content coverage, and difficulty – and how best to pursue additional test practice.
Prep classes will be held at Eastside Catholic’s Sammamish campus at the following times:

One of the most common mistakes that students make on the SSAT and ISEE is not reading the directions and questions carefully. While the sentence instructions may seem self-explanatory, they actually provide important information about how to approach the questions in that section. At the beginning of every section of...
The SSAT has three sections: Verbal, Reading, and Quantitative. When we looked at our practice test data from this past year, we noticed that five states—Massachusetts, New Jersey, California, Florida, and Washington—attained the highest scores on these sections, but there were variations between each state's particular strengths.
After all your work preparing for the ISEE, it can be daunting to receive your results. What do all those numbers mean? Here’s a guide to untangling the scores.
