      The Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE) is an admission test created by the Educational Records Bureau (ERB) which was founded in 1927 at Columbia University. ERB is the oldest and largest independent school testing agency in the nation.
      The ISEE is a multiple choice test in Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, and Mathematics Achievement. There will also be an essay prompt.

    • Q: How can I prepare for the test?

      The best way to prepare for the test is to review the “What to Expect on the ISEE” section of the www.iseetest.org website.  This site will review test-taking strategies and provide online practice questions.

    • Q: How will my scores be reported to the schools?

      At the time of registration, you may designate schools to receive your scores.  This service is included in the registration fee.  Please enter the Westminster code (571054) to have your scores sent to Westminster.  Scores will be sent to both the school and the parent 3-5 days after taking the online test.

    • Q: My child has an accommodation to receive extended time on exams.  How is this handled?

      In order to receive accommodations for the ISEE Admission test, please contact ISEE directly for a list of available facilities. Please note that ISEE requires 5 weeks to review and approve all accommodation requests.

      Students requesting ISEE accommodations will register online and submit the required paperwork to ERB for review/approval at least 5 weeks in advance of the test date.   ERB will require a copy of the supporting documentation which details the specific accommodation (Psychoeducational report, IEP, etc. dated within the past 3 years).  The family will first apply to Westminster, and then contact ISEE to request accommodation approval. ISEE will then email the family with further instructions required for them to review and approve the accommodation for the admission test. Once approved, ISEE will assist the family in locating a test site.

    • Q: What should I do if I need to cancel my test date?

      If for some reason you will not be taking the ISEE after registering for it, there is a $35 rescheduling fee. For cancellation, there is a $45 cancellation fee if you cancel one day or more before the test date. In addition, there is no refund if you cancel on or after the test date.

      You may request the change or cancellation by calling the ISEE Operations Office at 1-800-446-0320.
