S坐常见问题

No. 一个考试并不比另一个容易. 理解这一点很重要 about the ISEE and the S坐 is that both exams test for the same material. They are offered by different organizations, but students who take the ISEE and S坐考试要求考生掌握以下内容:

  1. 数学
  2. 语法技巧
  3. 词汇表
  4. 阅读理解
  5. 逻辑推理
  6. 论文写作

If you want proof of this, go online or to a local store and try to find a book that only covers the ISEE or the S坐 – you will not, because publishers have 发现创建单独的书籍效率很低.

是的,这很重要. 如果内容基本相同,您可能会感到疑惑 “为什么学生参加哪种考试很重要?原因是,尽管 underlying content is similar, the exams are unique in the cognitive abilities 他们正在评估,他们的结构,他们的评分. 这些差异 会符合学生的独特优势吗.

例如,如果符合以下条件,学生在ISEE上可能会更强:

  • The student has a mastery of the material, but has issues with timing and 用奇怪的措辞提问
  • The student is stronger on math than verbal/reading - ISEE weighs math heavier 比S坐(1/2数学在ISEE vs. S坐数学占1/3)

如果满足以下条件,学生可能会在S坐考试中表现更好:

  • The student is good at solving puzzles and dealing with complex wording and 概念
  • The student is stronger on verbal/reading than math (2/3 verbal/reading weight bat365S坐 vs. 1/2口语/ ISEE阅读)

这些仍然只是指导方针,而不是具体的规则. 这对学生来说是最好的方式 to decide is to complete a practice exam for each test and see if they have a “考试偏好”——他们自然表现更好的考试.

The S坐 will send official score reports only to those 学校 that students 指定. 成绩报告不列出参加S坐考试的次数 存档的分数报告的数量.

No. S坐数学部分不允许使用计算器.

The S坐 does not “Super Score” – Which means that students cannot combine the 各考点的最高分数线.

是的. 学校可以查看学生的S坐论文.

根据考试水平,学生的猜测策略有所不同:

  • Elementary Level S坐 test: There is no guessing penalty on the multiple S坐初级阶段的选择题. 学生应该做所有的 questions they know, then the questions they can eliminate and guess, and then 他们应该对一个部分的剩余问题进行随机猜测.
  • Middle and Upper Level S坐 tests: Correct answers are worth one point; 不正确的答案扣0.25分. 如果你至少能消除 一个答案,你应该猜到. 如果不能排除任何答案,离开 空白的问题.

There is no statistical advantage in selecting one test date over another. Students should choose test dates that make the most sense for their schedule 他们的准备工作.

At all levels, students receive the following information for the four scored 部分:

  • 量表得分:
    • Elementary level: Scale of 440-710 for Verbal, Quantitative, and Reading (1320 - 2130)
    • Middle and upper levels: Scale of 500-800 for Verbal, Quantitative, and 读数(1500-2400共)
  • 百分位数(1至99)
  • 12年级坐预测分数范围(仅限7年级至10年级)

Scores on the ISEE are in comparison only to students in the same grade who 在过去三年内参加过考试吗.

没有一个“好”的S坐分数. 分数的质量取决于 学生申请的学校.

The Middle and Upper Levels of the S坐 include a 15-minute unscored section (16 total questions) at the end of the exam which is used solely for research 目的. 本部分用于测试考试中可能出现的问题 S坐的不同版本. 学生必须修实验课 S坐的中上两级.
