SCORING YOUR TEST

On the ISEE, you receive one point for every question you answered correctly, and you receive no points for questions you answered incorrectly or skipped. In each section, the ISEE also includes 5 or 6 experimental questions that do not count towards your score. You won’t be told which questions are unscored, and for this reason, these practice tests do not have specific questions marked as experimental. This also means that it isn’t possible to determine an exact score for each section of these practice tests, but you can estimate your score using the procedures below.

To estimate your raw score for your practice test, first count up the number of questions you answered correctly in each section. Then, follow the table below to subtract 5 or 6 points for each section, accounting for the experimental questions that would not be scored on your actual ISEE exam.

MY RAW SCORE Section Verbal Reasoning Quantitative Reasoning Reading Comprehension Mathematics Achievement # of Questions Correct − 5 = − 5 = − 6 = − 5 = Raw Score SCALED SCORE

Once you have found your raw score, convert it into an approximate scaled score using the scoring charts that follow. These charts provide an estimated range for your ISEE scaled score based on your performance on this practice test. Keep in mind that this estimate may differ slightly from your scaled

PERCENTILE

When you take your actual ISEE exam, you will receive a percentile ranking comparing your performance against the performance of other students in the same grade who have taken the ISEE that year. For example, a percentile of 62 means that you scored higher than 62% of other ISEE test-takers applying to the same grade. Because your percentile ranking shows how well you performed according to your own grade level, these rankings are frequently given high consideration by admissions offices.

The following charts provide an estimate of your ISEE percentile rankings for this practice test, compared against other students applying to the same grade. For example, if you are scoring at or above the 75th percentile, you are scoring higher than 75% of other ISEE test-takers applying to the same grade. Keep in mind that these percentiles are estimates only, and your actual ISEE percentile will depend on the specific group of students taking the exam in your year.

When you receive the score report for your actual ISEE exam, your percentile score will also be broken down into a stanine. A stanine is a number from 1-9 obtained by dividing the entire range of students’ scores into 9 segments, as shown in the table below:

PERCENTILE RANK 1 – 3 4 – 10 11 – 22 23 – 39 40 – 59 60 – 76 77 – 88 89 – 95 96 – 99 STANINE 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Although it isn’t possible to calculate your exact stanine from this practice test, you can estimate a stanine score range by looking at your estimated percentile score on each section. For example, if you scored between the 50th and 75th percentile in one of your test sections, your stanine score would be between 5 and 6.
