The ISEE has a Verbal Reasoning section that is composed of two different kinds of questions: Synonyms and Sentence Completions.
This Kindle eBook only contains ISEE Lower Level SENTENCE COMPLETIONS practice problems.
Both kinds of questions test your vocabulary and reasoning ability.
Sentence Completion questions measure your ability to understand words and their function. Correct answers are based on clues that appear in the context of the sentence. In the Lower Level ISEE, the sentence completion answer choices are words or short phrases that logically complete a sentence.
STRATEGIES:
- Read each sentence to get the overall meaning.
- Focus on key words or clue words in the question to help you determine the correct answer.
- Mentally fill in the blank with your own answer and then find the answer choice that is closest in meaning to your own answer.
- Remember that there is almost always a word or phrase that obviously points to the correct answer.
- Use word clues such as although, because, if, since, or therefore to help you figure out the relationships in the sentence.
- After you choose your answer, go back and reread the whole sentence to be sure that it makes sense.

What is the purpose of these 200 ISEE Lower Level Verbal Sentence Completions practice problems?
.
A pervasive characteristic of ISEE Lower 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 Lower Level Verbal Sentence Completions 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. Remember that every child can improve his or her ISEE performance with the right mix of effort, instruction, materials, experience and encouragement!
