• The ISEE and SSAT are entrance exams for private k-12 schools
• Students entering 9th grade take the upper level version of either test.
• Most students do not need to take both tests.
• Consult the admissions office of the schools your child is interested in to find out which test they prefer.
• Most day schools prefer the ISEE, while many boarding schools prefer the SSAT.
• The ISEE test is graded with stanine/percentile scores.
• To gain admission to elite NYC area day schools like Horace Mann, Riverdale Country School, and Fieldston, students need  stanine scores of 7+. Other schools like Dwight Englewood, Dwight, Solomon Schechter, etc.. are more flexible with minimum score requirements.
