How to prepare
Allen-Stevenson names only the ISEE, so a grade 6 applicant prepares for the ISEE Lower Level and schedules it to finish before the file is reviewed; the page gives no test-by date, so ask the office. How often a child may sit the ISEE is covered in our ISEE guide.
Glentavo's practice tests follow the ISEE Lower Level format.
