Why families choose StudyPoint for tutoring

Tutoring here is one consistent tutor who gets to know your student, not a rotating cast. It is where many families first meet StudyPoint, and why they come back.

Matched to your student

We pair each student with our SSAT / ISEE tutor suited to their goals, their timeline, and how they learn.

A dedicated program manager

Someone stays with your family start to finish, so nothing falls through the cracks.

A real starting point

Prep begins with a full-length practice test, so we know exactly where your student stands and what to work on.

Online or in home

Prep happens online or in your home, whichever works for your family. Schedule a call to see if an in-home tutor is available near you.

Test Innovators practice

Students get customized online homework and targeted practice problems through the Test Innovators system, alongside their tutoring sessions.

SSAT / ISEE prep questions

Each scored section of the ISEE gets a scaled score from 760 to 940. There is no single total score. The four scored sections are Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, and Mathematics Achievement. Each section also gets a percentile rank and a stanine, which is a simpler score from 1 to 9 that many private schools focus on. The essay isn’t scored, but schools receive a copy.

The SSAT scores three sections: Verbal, Quantitative (math), and Reading. Those three add up to a total score. The ranges depend on the test level:

  • Upper Level (grades 8 to 11): 500 to 800 per section, 1500 to 2400 total
  • Middle Level (grades 5 to 7): 440 to 710 per section
  • Elementary Level (grades 3 to 4): 300 to 600 per section, 900 to 1800 total

Students also get percentiles that compare them with other first-time test takers in the same grade. The writing sample isn’t scored, but it’s sent to schools.
