ISEE Testing Information
ISEE Testing at St. Cecilia Catholic School
We have confirmed the dates for the ISEE being offered at St. Cecilia. These will be closed-style tests, which means registration will only be available via a unique code and is not available to the general public. We have more than enough spaces for all students, including those needing accommodations. If you have registered at another location, you may reach out to the school and ERB and see if they will swap your registration. At this time, we are offering 2 dates:
- Saturday, November 12 at 9:00AM - QWYX2WDD (Fall Testing Window)
- Friday, December 2 at 8:30AM - BKHUKXQK (Winter Testing Window)
ISEE Accommodations
If you are wanting to utilize academic accommodations for the ISEE testing, you must register and request these directly from ERB. They will provide you a form to be filled out and signed by the school, which will then be sent directly to ERB for approval. The school cannot offer accommodations without prior approval from ERB.
