Questions parents ask

Families whose child is in grade 4 or 5 and is applying to US private schools for grades 5–6. The ISEE Lower Level is the version of the ISEE taken by children applying to those grades. For many children, it is their first formal exam.

How your child did on 20 questions, counted by type of question, plus how many cycles fit before test day and which package covers them. A cycle is one full-length practice test plus the five practice sets after it. Twenty questions choose a route; they are not a diagnosis and not a ranking.

No. Your child sees only today's task and a mountain they climb as they finish tasks. Results and prices are only on your side. Glentavo does not compare children with each other.

Not at launch. ISEE results are reported as a score band from 1 to 9. We do not estimate that band at launch; reports show what your child actually did. If our practice tests prove accurate against real results, we will add score ranges — always with the basis shown.

No. Glentavo does not promise admission outcomes.

No. ISEE is a registered trademark of the Educational Records Bureau (ERB), which is not affiliated with and does not endorse this product.

Only how many practice tests they include, and how long you can use them. Sprint: 4 practice tests, 3 months. One Season: 10 practice tests, 12 months. Summit: 20 practice tests, 12 months. The difficulty is the same in all three.

Start answers this from your calendar. As a rule of thumb: Sprint if the test is 3–6 weeks away and your child will take it once; One Season if your child will take it once this season; Summit if your child may take it twice, or you are starting early.

No. The three packages are independent and each has its own practice tests. If you need more, you buy another package at full price. Buying enough the first time is the cheapest path.

No. One-time purchase. Not a subscription. No auto-renewal.

On the date shown when you buy: 3 months from purchase for Sprint, 12 months for One Season and Summit. The date is counted from the day you buy and does not move.

No new practice tests or practice sets open. A practice test already in progress can still be finished within 7 days. Your reports and past answers stay readable for the period set out in our Privacy Policy.

Each child needs their own package, at the same price. One account holds up to three children.

Only if the current one has ended or is used up. A package works until its end date, whatever the testing season. If your child applies again the following year and the package has ended, you buy a new one. Records and real scores carry over, and your child never gets a practice test they have already taken.

A complete mock ISEE Lower Level: four scored sections plus a 30-minute essay, following the published sections and timing of the real test, in one sitting with two scheduled breaks. The four scored sections take 110 minutes in total; each break is 5–10 minutes. The tests are our own, modeled on the format and skills of the ISEE Lower Level. They are not real ISEE questions.

Yes. You can choose a shorter version with only the four scored sections and no essay; it is clearly labelled and still counts toward the plan. If ERB has approved extended time for your child, you can set 1.5× or 2× time, and the report notes it. There is no untimed version.

About 20 questions, picked from what the last practice test showed. After each practice test your child gets five of them.

A computer, or an iPad turned sideways, for full practice tests. Practice sets also work on a phone.

At the start of each practice test, yes: starting or pausing one needs a parent code that you set.

The test is saved and can be finished later. It counts toward the plan when finished within 24 hours of starting. If it takes longer, you can still see it, but the plan keeps using the last test that counted.

A planned practice test can be started early. A missed day does not lock anything, and changing dates keeps every answer and result.

Your child writes the 30-minute essay in every practice test. Essays are not scored in the winter 2026–27 season. We never rewrite your child's essay.

Four parts: what your child did, where they are now, what changed since the last test, and why the next five practice sets were chosen.

Every Sunday by email, with an image you can save. First what got done this week, then what changed, then what is next. The image leaves out your child's name unless you choose to show the nickname.

Yes, after the test. They are kept next to your child's practice records, so over time we can check how our practice tests compare with real results.

Within 7 days of purchase, if no more than 1 practice test has been completed, once per child under this policy. A refund ends access to that package; reports already produced stay readable. Packages opened with a code are not covered.

What the service needs: answers, time per question, essay text, and the child's profile under your account. Your child never gives an email address, and we never market to children.
