Scale: ISEE scaled (760-940).
How ISEE is conducted

Test format
Linear / fixed-form — every candidate sees the same number of questions per section.
Backtracking
Allowed — you can revisit and change answers within a section.
Mark for review
Available — flag tough questions and return to them before submitting the section.
ISEE time strategy
With 160 questions in 130 minutes, you have about 49 seconds per question on average. Successful candidates aim for the following pacing on each section:
Verbal Reasoning (40 Q)
Target ~30 sec/question. If a question takes more than 45 seconds, mark for review and move on.
Quantitative Reasoning (37 Q)
Target ~57 sec/question. If a question takes more than 86 seconds, mark for review and move on.
Reading Comprehension (36 Q)
Target ~58 sec/question. If a question takes more than 87 seconds, mark for review and move on.
Math Achievement (47 Q)
Target ~51 sec/question. If a question takes more than 77 seconds, mark for review and move on.
Wrexa Edge's analytics show your actual time-per-question after every mock so you can spot which sections you're losing time on.
