How to Use This BookThis book is designed to help students in grades 4 and 5 master the Quantitative Reasoning and Mathematics Achievement sections of the Lower Level Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE). Over the years, the team at Manhattan Tutors has found that students are understandably overwhelmed by the enormous amount of information contained in most test prep books. The math sections tend to be particularly intimidating for students who are preparing for the test. The Manhattan Tutors Guide to the Lower Level ISEE: Quantitative Reasoning and Mathematics Achievement was written with students in mind. Our streamlined guide is designed to provide students with a tailored study plan that they can use to focus their preparation and minimize the amount of time they need to get ready for the ISEE. Here's your step-by-step guide for using this book: 1. With your student, read through the ISEE Math Strategies in Part II and complete the practice problems. 2. Have your student take the first practice test in Part V. Review the questions he or she answered incorrectly, and focus your remaining time on studying those question types and math fundamentals. 3. Six weeks before the real test, take the second practice test in Part V. Compare your student's results with those from the first practice test, and identify areas of improvement and areas he or she still needs to work on. 4. Four weeks before the real test, take the diagnostic test provided by the ERB. This test, What to Expect on the Lower Level ISEE, can be found at ERBLearn.org. 5. Remember: the ISEE is just one component of a comprehensive application. Schools consider a student's grades, extracurriculars, teacher recommendations, and personal essays, so try not to stress too much over the test! Warmest regards, The Staff of Manhattan Tutors
