As the end of seventh grade approaches, so does high school application season, and students need to begin preparation for the Upper Level ISEE. The ISEE is a five-section, 2.5-hour exam that assesses students on a range of math, reading, verbal, and writing skills, some of which are not covered in a standard middle school curriculum.

Studying for a test with such breadth may seem daunting, but during our four-day Spring Break ISEE Kickstart Program, students learn not only what is on the test but how they can prepare. Led by an Elite ISEE tutor with more than a decade of experience, this program walks students through the content on each section, introduces test-taking tips and study strategies they will need, and gives students the opportunity to explore new concepts and practice the skills they need to do their best. Students will finish the course with at least six hours of completed studying, a deep understanding of what they need to work on, and a concrete plan as they move forward.

Enrollment: Minimum two students, maximum six students. If spaces are full, please join the waitlist, and we will add an additional series of sessions pending interest.
