This Kindle eBook only contains ISEE Middle Level Reading Comprehension problems. The actual ISEE Middle Level contains Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, Mathematics Achievement and Essay sections as well, but this eBook does NOT cover those sections.
This Kindle eBook is intended for use by current SIXTH and SEVENTH graders applying for private schools that require the ISEE Middle Level.
FIRST HALF of this eBook ( Problems #1 thru #180 )
The first half ( #1 to #180 ) of the problem set of this Kindle eBook contains “easy-medium†ISEE Middle Level Reading Comprehension passages and questions. If your child is currently in 5th or 6th grade, he or she should focus on these problems first. These more fundamental problems provide an array of intermediary steps to transition to harder ISEE Middle Reading Comprehension passages and questions. The ISEE Middle Level can be challenging and intimidating, but these “easy-medium†problems will build a foundation of skill, confidence and rhythm in a young test-taker.
SECOND HALF of this eBook ( Problems #181 thru #360 )
The second half ( #181 to #360 ) of the problem set of this Kindle eBook contains “medium-hard†ISEE Middle Level Reading Comprehension passages and questions. If your child is currently in 6th or 7th grade, he or she can focus on these problems. These “medium-hard†problems are designed to challenge advanced test-takers to reach the highest ISEE scaled score ranges preferred at many top private institutions across the country.
The actual ISEE Middle READING Comprehension section contains five reading passages. The passages include topics related to history, science, literature and contemporary life. Some questions ask you to find a phrase or word in the passage. Each passage is followed by questions about the passage.
Strategy: Read the passage first to get an overall view. As you read the passage, ask yourself, “What is the main idea? What facts and details are given?†As you answer the questions following the passage, use the line numbers to help you find the section or lines you may need to look at again.
What is the purpose of these 360 ISEE Middle Reading Comprehension practice problems?
A pervasive characteristic of ISEE Middle Level private school admission exams is that they are very difficult, oftentimes featuring test questions one to two grade levels above your child’s current public or private school curriculum. The ISEE targets a small, highly competitive group of students applying for top private schools across the nation.
Using our years of experience developing training guides for a national test preparation company, we have created ISEE study materials that closely approximate the sequence, scope, phrasing and difficulty level of actual exams. We have accomplished this through years of meticulous research into individual ISEE test questions and through information acquired from former test participants. Thousands of applicants have worked through the ISEE Middle Level Reading Comprehension practice problems contained within this Kindle eBook to enhance their candidacies in the private school admission process.
Parents should not overreact to “lower-than-expected†results. (Easy for us to say!) In addition to ISEE scores, most private schools take into account academic performance, teacher / counselor / coach recommendations, extracurricular activities and the personal interview / essay / portfolio in their admissions decision. But, of course, high ISEE scores help immensely.
