SSAT and ISEE

The SSAT and ISEE are entrance exams seeking admission to private schools. Some schools prefer one test over the other, so your best bet is to call the schools you are applying to to understand their preferences. If you have a choice between the two exams, Tutor Doctor can help you determine the best test for you.

For many students, these exams are the first exposure to high-stakes testing. What's more, parents also often feel ill-informed as they seek to navigate private school admissions and testing.
