Pruebas de matemáticas de nivel superior HPST e ISEE

Tutoring sessions provide testing practice on content from the Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE), an admission test developed by the Educational 
Records Bureau (ERB) for its member schools as part of their admission process and the High School Placement Test (HSPT).  

Students complete a pre-assessment which will be used to measure improvements in scores. Individualized practice exam questions will be used during sessions.  An emphasis on problem solving and test-taking strategies are emphasized.  Students engage with the tutor using a digital interactive whiteboard. Progress reports are provided after each tutoring session.  

Test timing will be included.  

Content covered for each is described below:

High School Placement Test (HSPT)

Part 1 Quantitative Sills 

 Number series
 Geometric comparisons
 Nongeometric comparisons
 Number manipulations

Part 2 Mathematics 

 Concepts 
 Problem solving


Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE) - Upper Division

Part 1 Quantitative Reasoning 

Practice for this section of the test are based on the topics below.

 estimate numerical values
 employ logic to determine what a particular problem is about
 compare and contrast quantities
 analyze and interpret data
 analyze, compare, predict, draw conclusions, and summarize graphs
 use reason to calculate the probability of events
 understand concepts and applications of measurements
 know how to arrive at statistical solutions to problems that are given


Part 2 Mathematical Achievement 

Practice for this section of the test are based on the topics below.

 Number and Operations 
 Algebra 
 Geometry  
 Measurement 
 Data Analysis and Probability, and  
 Problem Solving  

Practice exam questions and homework for the ISEE are based on the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Standards.
