The Writing section of the ISEE is not factored into your score. Instead, a copy of the essay will be sent along with the scores to the schools that you are applying for.
The way in which each admissions department uses the ISEE essay varies from school to school, but the following are the main essay elements that will be evaluated:
1) Topic choice
2) Organization and structure
3) Use of examples and details
4) Writing mechanics (spelling, punctuation, grammar)
|
Note: Some schools will compare student application essays with the ISEE essay. If the application essays are written differently from the ISEE essay, school may disregard the application essays entirely based on an assumption that these may have been written by someone else (a parent, a tutor, etc.). Make sure that you write your own application essays! Parents, guardians, and others can help with the editing process, but the writing should be your own! |
