We are excited to share some new updates to the reports in our educator tools with you. If you’re a tutor, teacher, or administrator who works with us, you may have already noticed a few changes. If not, you can see them by logging into your account. If you don’t yet work with us, and are interested in learning more about what we do for schools, shoot our sales team an email.
Highlights
There are now built-in class averages on many pages, so you can quickly get a sense of how your students are doing overall. Here’s an example of what it looks like while reviewing specific sections.
The section report (my personal favorite!) is now downloadable among other improvements. Selecting the three stacked lines in the top right of the chart will allow download a csv of this data.
And homework progress reports are now more easily accessible, with the information you’re most interested in such as who completed the assignment, how well they did, and so forth.
Let us know if you’d like to set up a time to review the educator tools, look at your students’ data, or run through any of the changes, and we would love to connect! We always want to hear your ideas and insights, as we strive to continually improve the tools available to you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us, either by sending a quick email with your idea or setting up a call to discuss.
Did you make it through the ISEE’s four multiple-choice sections? You’re not quite done yet!
The fifth and final section on the ISEE is an essay section.
The Mathematics Achievement (MA) section of the ISEE Test is intended to reflect curriculum related questions, in contrast to the Quantitative Reasoning section which is intended to measure students’ reasoning abilities.
In 2020, ERB and Test Innovators partnered with the goal of leveling the playing field for all ISEE test takers. The partnership provides every student with access to high-quality test practice, which reduces anxiety and increases confidence through familiarization and learning. In order to assess the impact the partnership has...
After families take the ISEE test, we often receive questions from confused test-takers and parents. Here are the answers to some of the most common questions we’re asked about ISEE score reports.
We all know that cramming before a test is not the best strategy for success, especially when it comes to admissions tests like the SSAT, ISEE, HSPT, ACT, and SAT. So, when should students start preparing? Short answer: early. Longer answer: at least six to eight months before test day.
Some students...
Every student is different, and every student’s test prep needs are different too. Test Innovators’ online platform provides every student with a Personalized Prep Plan, targeted to an individual’s specific needs. The Prep Plan provides guidance on next steps and auto-generates specific recommendations for practice to complete.
We are more than halfway through January and (depending where you are) days are short, skies are grey, and temperatures are low. All of this combines to make it the perfect time of year to curl up inside with a blanket and a good book.
The saying “practice as you’d like to perform” is applicable to so many things, especially test preparation. Practice tests are the foundation of preparation for this very reason. Practice tests help simulate test day and expose you to the content and structure of the test.
But taking a practice test is...
Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, more and more tests were moving to a computerized format, and now, at-home testing has become a feasible alternative. Some tests, such as the ISEE and SSAT, are available at home, but what is the alternative for the benchmark mock testing that is commonly administered...
The Character Skills Snapshot (CSS) is a tool developed by The Enrollment Management Association, the same company that creates the SSAT. Students in grades 6 through 12 take the CSS for admission to participating independent schools. Check with your prospective schools to see if they require the CSS.
