The Best Unofficial Practice T

Practice tests to give your student the skills and confidence to succeed on the Lower Level ISEE

This book contains 2 full-length practice tests for the Lower Level ISEE. Use the tests in this book to give your student an idea of the types of questions on the ISEE, the concepts that will be tested, the format and timing of the test, and a sense of how the scoring works. This book includes the two practice tests and answer keys only -- it does not include content instruction.

Additional Lower Level ISEE prep resources

This book complements other Lower Level ISEE materials from by Test Prep Works, which include:

• Success on the Lower Level ISEE: A Complete Course -- This book is full of comprehensive instruction on the content and strategies needed to succeed on the Lower Level ISEE, including vocabulary lessons and drills, math content lessons and practice sets, reading strategies and drills, tips for the essay, and one full-length practice test (a different test than the ones in The Best Unofficial Practice Tests for the Lower Level ISEE)
• 30 Days to Acing the Lower Level ISEE -- This book includes additional practice to help reinforce the content and strategies covered in Success on the Lower Level ISEE: A Complete Course. The book is divided into 15 “workouts”, giving students an easy way to break up the practice into manageable chunks.

Each of these books can be used independently or they can be combined to best suit the needs of your student.

The Lower Level ISEE is given to students currently in grades 4 and 5 who are applying for entrance to grades 5 and 6. Materials for the Middle Level ISEE and the Upper Level ISEE are also available from Test Prep Works.

Please note that the tests in this book are neither produced nor endorsed by ERB.
