ISEE and HSPT Info!

October 23rd, 2012

Hey Parents! Thinking of having your son or daughter attend an independent, magnet or private school next school year? With the ISEE exam dates fast approaching, here is some information that may help you get ready!

The Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE) is an entrance exam used by many independent and magnet schools in California, including Chadwick, Vistamar, and Rolling Hills Prep.
- Has three levels of testing; the lower level for entrance in grades 5-6, the middle level for grades 7-8, and the upper level for entrance into grades 9-12.
- -Consists of 5 sections: Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, Mathematics, and a timed 30 minute essay.
The High School Placement Test (HSPT) is a different test for admission to schools, such as Bishop Montgomery and Notre Dame Academy.
- Is given only to 8th graders for placement into a 9th grade school
- Also consists of a verbal, quantitative reasoning, reading comprehension and mathematics section, but has a 25 minute language section instead of an essay.

Here at Study Hut we offer an amazing ISEE prep to help get your student prepared for this important entrance exam. On top of reviewing all of the basic curriculum from school that they will need to know to do well on the test, students will also learn effective test taking skills as they review the types of questions that will be presented to them on the exam. Our young, local tutors are experts in many different disciplines, and can help your student solidify their confidence and ace this test!

Test Prep at the Hut

February 16th, 2012

As a new test-prep tutor for Study Hut, I have learned loads of information about the SAT, ISEE, and HSPT. I was surprised to find that, despite the differences in the exams, the overall study technique was very similar and ultimately comes down to one word – strategy.

This reminded me of my fourth grade teacher, Ms. Green. She told my class that she was SO good at taking tests that she could take a multiple choice test on any subject and still get most of the answers correct. At the time, I thought she was crazy – or maybe just really smart. What I have come to learn while working at Study Hut is that any test, whether for school or the SAT, has two different parts to it: the information it covers and the specific way that you put that information on the test. Failing to recognize this often makes the difference between an A and a B, or several hundred points on the SAT.

During my first test-prep tutoring session, my student seemed very stressed out about the ISEE test he was only a month away from taking. We were reviewing vocabulary words, many of which he had never even seen before. Becoming very concerned, he asked me: “How can I EVER remember all of this information?” I told him not to worry and that, by the end of our session, he would be able to figure out the meaning of at least half of the words he had never even seen before. Now, he thought I was crazy. He only had three weeks until the test and his parents had chosen Study Hut to provide that extra special test-prep service that only Study Hut can provide. Now, it was my job to show him the first important strategy to use when studying vocabulary words. While that’s not a secret I can reveal now, let’s just say that by the end of our two-hour one-on-one session, he not only knew most of the word meanings, but also answered 14/15 correctly on a practice quiz directly afterward.
