Overview

After tutoring all three levels of the ISEE for the past 17 years, I finally created a book that contains all my best secrets that not only yield results in the way of test scores, but keep kids more engaged in creative ways. There are several books out there, but this one is different. This book not only contains original material, but also challenges the kids to create their own materials and learn in different ways other than simply rote memorization and using somebody else's strategies. The book itself is a collaboration of many tutors and real students who have gone through the process of preparing and taking the ISEE. This is truly a group collaboration based on years of experience and honest feedback. This book was a labor of love; not a profit-making strategy of a big test prep company. Tests do not determine intelligence; they are a game. This book is designed to improve each student's skills and strategies on how to best play that game. ** Please note: because this test is many grade levels above the kids who take it, I recommend starting studying at least six months before your test. I also recommend starting with the book before your test level (example: if you are taking the Middle Level ISEE in the winter of 2020, start studying out of the Lower Level Survive! book in the spring of 2020. You get the idea.)

This book includes:
Practice for the Verbal Reasoning Section
Vocabulary Matching Games
Commonly Confused Words
Reading Log
Reading Comprehension Practice
DIY Reading Comprehension
Math Basics
Daily Math Fun
Quantitative Comparison Practice
MathLibs!
Essay Examples
Essay Writing Help with Outlines
Two Full-Length Practice Tests
***** Simply put, it's the: BEST BOOK ON THE MARKET!!!!!!******

Thai also consults with parents on on how to make an academic plan for their students as well as advising on K - 12 placement in independent schools. Thai's team of talented Abacus tutors work with students throughout Los Angeles on test prep (ISEE, HSPT, SSAT, SCAT, ACT, SAT and SAT subject tests), academic assistance, educational enrichment, foreign language and beyond.
