Is the ISEE practice test really free?

Yes. You can create one child profile at one level and get the full question bank for that level, one complete full-length timed diagnostic, and one AI-graded essay at no cost. No credit card is required and there is no auto-renewal.

Which ISEE level should my child take?

The Lower Level is for students applying to grades 5 and 6, the Middle Level for grades 7 and 8, and the Upper Level for grades 9 through 12. Pick the level for the grade your child is applying to enter.

How long is the ISEE practice test?

A full-length ISEE runs roughly 2 hours and 20 minutes to just under 3 hours depending on level, across four scored sections plus an unscored essay. Our diagnostic mirrors the real timing so your child practices the pacing, or you can jump straight into shorter section-by-section practice.

Is ISEE Coach affiliated with the ERB?

No. ISEE is a registered trademark of the Educational Records Bureau (ERB), which is not affiliated with ISEE Coach. All of our questions and passages are original and written to match the style and difficulty of the real test.

Free ISEE Practice Test — Full-Length, All Levels

Q: Do I need a credit card to start?

No. The free diagnostic and the full question bank at your child's level require only an email to save progress. Full Access is a separate one-time purchase you can choose later if you want all levels and unlimited essay grading.

What you get for free

Most free ISEE practice tests are a static PDF and an answer key. This is the actual practice environment your child would use to prep, opened up at no cost for one level.

✓ A full-length, timed diagnostic

All four scored sections under real ISEE timing, so your child practices pacing, not just content.

✓ An instant subskill report

See accuracy broken down by section and subskill, so you know what to drill instead of guessing.

✓ The full question bank at your level

Go beyond the diagnostic into unlimited section-by-section practice for your child's level.

✓ One AI-graded essay

The real ISEE essay is sent to schools unscored. Get rubric-based feedback the ERB never provides.

The free plan covers one child at one level. Full Access (all levels, unlimited essay grading, and multiple children) is a separate one-time purchase you can choose later — never a subscription, and never required to use everything above.

Choose your child's level

The ISEE comes in three levels, set by the grade your child is applying to enter. Start the free diagnostic at the right one, or read the full level guide first.

Lower Level Grades 5–6 admission For 4th and 5th graders. Reasoning and vocabulary that reach a grade or two beyond what school has taught yet. Middle Level Grades 7–8 admission For 5th and 6th graders. Pre-algebra, ratios, and denser reading passages under tight timing. Upper Level Grades 9–12 admission For 8th through 11th graders. The most competitive level, with algebra, geometry, and advanced vocabulary.

Why a real diagnostic beats a PDF practice test

A downloadable practice test tells you a raw number of right and wrong answers. It can't tell you why your child missed what they missed, or what to do next. A living diagnostic can.

Timing is built in. Pacing is where most kids lose points. A printed test can't enforce the clock the way the real, sectioned test does.
The report is by subskill, not just a score. "Fractions with unlike denominators" and "inference questions" are things you can actually practice. "72%" is not.
The essay gets real feedback. Because ERB sends the essay to schools unscored, families almost never get feedback on it. Rubric-based AI grading closes that gap.
Every question is original. Written to match the style and difficulty of the real ISEE, not copied from a test that may be outdated.
