  1. What does a percentile rank of 75 on the ISEE indicate?

    Answer: The student scored higher than 75% of the norm group

    A 75th percentile means the student performed better than 75% of comparison peers.

  2. Which stanine range is generally considered above average on the ISEE?

    Answer: 7-9

    Stanines of 7 to 9 are above average, 4 to 6 average, and 1 to 3 below average.

  3. The ISEE norm group used for percentiles consists of which students?

    Answer: Students of the same grade applying over recent years

    ISEE percentiles compare a student to others in the same grade who took the test in recent years.

  4. On the ISEE score report, what is the 'Analysis' section used for?

    Answer: Showing performance by skill category within each section

    The Analysis breaks down strengths and weaknesses by question category within each section.

  5. Why might the same raw score yield different percentiles across ISEE levels?

    Answer: Each level is normed against a different grade group

    Percentiles depend on the grade-specific norm group, so identical raw scores can rank differently.

  6. Which scores do admissions offices most commonly emphasize when reviewing ISEE results?

    Answer: Percentile ranks and stanines

    Schools focus on percentile ranks and stanines because they standardize comparison across applicants.

  7. A stanine of 5 on the ISEE corresponds to which performance level?

    Answer: Average

    A stanine of 5 sits in the middle band (4-6) and represents average performance.
