Advice for ISEE Test Day

Test Day Information

The day before the test, relax, read a book, get some exercise, and get plenty of sleep. (In fact, you should prioritize sleep the entire week before the test as those earlier nightsʼ sleep will be critical.)

On the morning of the test, wake up with ample time to eat a good breakfast and head to the test center so that you arrive at (or before!) your check-in time.

Important!

Do not attempt to study or cram last-minute information on the night before or day of the test! This will only cause undue stress and anxiety. Now is the time to feel confident in everything you’ve already done to prepare.
