Is your family considering enrolling your child in a private school? If so, you may have heard of the “ISEE.” Short for “Independent School Entrance Exam,” this admissions test is commonly used by many private schools in the Nashville and Brentwood areas.

Taking a practice test will give your child exposure to the test format and provide you with valuable information about whether your child is ready for the real thing.

Students can prepare with practice tests at Learning Lab’s Test Prep Centers in Brentwood and Nashville. Each student receives a free consultation on their results, and their report will also provide information on the types of questions within each section that the student may need improvement. Flexible scheduling for ISEE tutoring is also available. Learn more.

More ISEE Prep Tips

In addition to taking practice tests, students can prepare for the ISEE by:

  • Working through test anxiety. Many students struggle with test taking anxiety. The ISEE is a long exam and contains many sections. Improve confidence by getting a good night’s rest and addressing test anxiety. Thorough ISEE prep can help reduce anxiety and ready your student for a stellar performance!
  • Eating a nutritious breakfast. The exam lasts approximately two hours and 10 minutes. Plus, there are scheduled breaks and administrative tasks that must be completed before the exam begins. Fuel up with a nutritious breakfast before test time!
  • Bringing the necessary supplies. Check the latest guidelines to ensure your student has the proper supplies for test day. This list includes an ISEE test admission ticket, student ID, residency verification, five sharpened No. 2 pencils and an eraser.
