ISEE Prep · Lower, Middle & Upper Level · ERB Official Assessment
The Stanine Score Most Families Misread. We Fix That First.
Independent School Entrance Exam / Section-by-Section Stanine Tracking
A Stanine 5 on the ISEE doesn’t mean your child is average. It means they outperformed the bottom half of private school applicants — a self-selected group of academically motivated students applying to competitive independent schools. Understanding this changes how you set goals, choose sections to target, and read every practice test report.
