1. 1. Which word is closest in meaning to EQUIVOCAL?

   • A. Honest
   • B. Balanced
   • C. Hostile
   • D. Ambiguous
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: D. Ambiguous

   Equivocal describes something that can be read more than one way, so it is unclear or ambiguous. Balanced is a trap because it shares the root idea of equal, but it means evenly weighted, not unclear.

2. 2. Choose the word that best completes the sentence. The expedition's supplies were so ______ that the team had to ration water for the last three days.

   • A. scant
   • B. abundant
   • C. superfluous
   • D. decorative
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: A. scant

   The clue is that the team had to ration water, which only makes sense if there was too little. Scant means barely enough. Abundant and superfluous both mean too much, and decorative says nothing about quantity.

3. 3. Choose the pair that best completes the sentence. Although reviewers were ______ in their praise of the film's photography, they were ______ about its slow, confusing plot.

   • A. restrained ... delighted
   • B. reluctant ... disappointed
   • C. lavish ... dismissive
   • D. eager ... hopeful
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: C. lavish ... dismissive

   The word although signals a contrast, and the plot is described as slow and confusing, so the second word must be negative. Lavish praise set against a dismissive view of the plot fits both clues. Reluctant and disappointed would not contrast, and delighted or hopeful cannot describe a confusing plot.

4. 4. Select all the words that mean nearly the same as FLEETING.

   Velg alle som passer.

   • A. Brief
   • B. Lasting
   • C. Transient
   • D. Constant
   • E. Passing
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: A. Brief, C. Transient, E. Passing

   Fleeting describes something that does not last. Brief, transient and passing all carry that meaning. Lasting and constant are the opposite.

5. 5. Column A: 3/8 of 40. Column B: 25% of 60. Which statement is true?

   • A. The quantity in Column A is greater.
   • B. The quantity in Column B is greater.
   • C. The two quantities are equal.
   • D. The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: C. The two quantities are equal.

   Three eighths of 40 is 3 times 5, which is 15. A quarter of 60 is also 15. Both columns have the same value, so the answer is that they are equal.

6. 6. x is a whole number greater than 1. Column A: x squared. Column B: 2x. Which statement is true?

   • A. The quantity in Column A is greater.
   • B. The quantity in Column B is greater.
   • C. The two quantities are equal.
   • D. The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: D. The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.

   Test more than one value. If x is 2, both columns are 4, so they are equal. If x is 3, Column A is 9 and Column B is 6, so Column A is greater. Two different results mean the relationship cannot be determined. On quantitative comparisons with a variable, one test value is never enough.

7. 7. The length of a rectangle is doubled and its width is cut in half. Compared with the original rectangle, the area of the new rectangle is:

   • A. The same
   • B. Half as large
   • C. Twice as large
   • D. Four times as large
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: A. The same

   Area is length times width. Doubling one factor and halving the other multiplies the area by 2 times one half, which is 1. This is a typical reasoning item: you can solve it with a rule and no numbers. Trying a 4 by 6 rectangle gives the same answer, 24, before and after.

8. 8. Complete the sentence.

   Five numbers have an average of 12. When one number is removed, the other four have an average of 10. The number that was removed is _____.

   Alternativer for luke 1: 16, 18, 20, 22

   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: 20

   Five numbers that average 12 add up to 60. Four numbers that average 10 add up to 40. The number removed is the difference, 60 minus 40, which is 20.

9. 9. Read the passage: "When the textile mill in Alderbrook closed in 1987, most residents assumed the town would follow it into decline. Instead, a small group of former workers bought the empty building for one dollar and, over six years, turned it into a market hall with forty stalls. Skeptics predicted that nobody would travel to a town with no highway exit. They were wrong, partly because the founders made a deliberate choice: every vendor had to make or grow what they sold within fifty miles. Shoppers came for the novelty, but they returned because the food tasted fresher and the crafts could not be found elsewhere. Today the market hall employs more people than the mill ever did, and several of its first vendors now run shops on the surrounding streets." Which statement best expresses the main idea of the passage?

   • A. Textile mills closed across the country in the late 1980s.
   • B. A community rebuilt its economy by turning a closed factory into a market built on local goods.
   • C. Highway access decides whether a small town's businesses succeed.
   • D. Former mill workers preferred selling food to working in a factory.
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: B. A community rebuilt its economy by turning a closed factory into a market built on local goods.

   The passage follows one story from the mill closing to a thriving market. The mill closing is only the starting point, the passage never claims highway access decides success, and it says nothing about what the workers preferred.

10. 10. Read the passage: "When the textile mill in Alderbrook closed in 1987, most residents assumed the town would follow it into decline. Instead, a small group of former workers bought the empty building for one dollar and, over six years, turned it into a market hall with forty stalls. Skeptics predicted that nobody would travel to a town with no highway exit. They were wrong, partly because the founders made a deliberate choice: every vendor had to make or grow what they sold within fifty miles. Shoppers came for the novelty, but they returned because the food tasted fresher and the crafts could not be found elsewhere. Today the market hall employs more people than the mill ever did, and several of its first vendors now run shops on the surrounding streets." As used in the passage, the word "deliberate" most nearly means:

    • A. slow
    • B. cautious
    • C. intentional
    • D. accidental
    Vis svar og forklaring

    Svar: C. intentional

    The founders made a deliberate choice by requiring vendors to make or grow their goods nearby. That is a choice made on purpose, so intentional fits. Slow and cautious are other meanings people associate with the word, but they do not fit this sentence, and accidental is the opposite.

11. 11. Read the passage: "When the textile mill in Alderbrook closed in 1987, most residents assumed the town would follow it into decline. Instead, a small group of former workers bought the empty building for one dollar and, over six years, turned it into a market hall with forty stalls. Skeptics predicted that nobody would travel to a town with no highway exit. They were wrong, partly because the founders made a deliberate choice: every vendor had to make or grow what they sold within fifty miles. Shoppers came for the novelty, but they returned because the food tasted fresher and the crafts could not be found elsewhere. Today the market hall employs more people than the mill ever did, and several of its first vendors now run shops on the surrounding streets." Select all the statements that the passage supports.

    • A. Some shoppers traveled to Alderbrook specifically for the market.
    • B. The market's rules limit where vendors get what they sell.
    • C. The town built a highway exit after the market opened.
    • D. The market hall now provides more jobs than the mill once did.
    • E. Most shoppers visited only once, out of curiosity.

    Svar: A. Some shoppers traveled to Alderbrook specifically for the market., B. The market's rules limit where vendors get what they sell., D. The market hall now provides more jobs than the mill once did.

    The skeptics predicted that nobody would travel to the town and were wrong, so some shoppers did. The fifty mile rule limits where vendors get their goods, and the passage states that the hall employs more people than the mill. Nothing says an exit was built, and the passage says shoppers returned.

12. 12. What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (3, 7) and (7, 10)?

    • A. 4/3
    • B. 3/4
    • C. 3
    • D. 7
    Vis svar og forklaring

    Svar: B. 3/4

    Slope is the change in y divided by the change in x. From (3, 7) to (7, 10), y rises by 3 while x moves 4, so the slope is 3 divided by 4, which is 3/4. The choice 4/3 comes from dividing in the wrong order.

13. 13. Select all the numbers that are prime.

    Velg alle som passer.

    • A. 1
    • B. 2
    • C. 51
    • D. 53
    • E. 91
    Vis svar og forklaring

    Svar: B. 2, D. 53

    A prime number has exactly two factors, 1 and itself. The number 1 has only one factor, so it is not prime. The number 2 is prime, and so is 53. The number 51 is 3 times 17, and 91 is 7 times 13.

14. 14. Complete the sentence.

    If 3(x - 4) = 2x + 5, then x = _____.

    Alternativer for luke 1: 15, 17, 19, 21

    Vis svar og forklaring

    Svar: 17

    Distribute the 3 to get 3x - 12 = 2x + 5. Subtract 2x from both sides to get x - 12 = 5, then add 12 to get x = 17. Putting 17 back in gives 3 times 13 on the left and 39 on the right, so it checks.

15. 15. Complete the sentence.

    A bag holds 4 red, 6 blue and 5 green marbles. One marble is picked at random. The probability that it is not blue is _____, and the probability that it is green is _____.

    Alternativer for luke 1: 2/5, 3/5, 2/3, 4/5

    Alternativer for luke 2: 1/5, 2/5, 1/3, 1/2

    Vis svar og forklaring

    Svar: 3/5, 1/3

    There are 15 marbles. Nine are not blue, and 9 out of 15 simplifies to 3/5. Five are green, and 5 out of 15 simplifies to 1/3. Always reduce a probability to lowest terms before you look for it among the choices.

Dette står på ISEE

ISEE er Independent School Entrance Exam, en vanlig opptaksprøve for private og uavhengige skoler. Den tilbys av E3n, den ideelle organisasjonen som ble dannet da Educational Records Bureau (ERB) og Enrollment Management Association slo seg sammen, så eldre forberedelsesbøker og veiledninger sier fortsatt ERB. For søkere til 5. til 12. trinn (grade 5 to 12) finnes det tre nivåer. Lower Level er for grade 5 eller 6, Middle Level for grade 7 eller 8 og Upper Level for grade 9 til 12. Denne siden følger Upper Level, og tallene under kommer fra den offisielle ISEE Quick Facts Guide for 2026 til 2027 og ERBs veiledning for Upper Level. Middle Level har samme antall spørsmål og samme tid per del, Lower Level er kortere, og yngre søkere tar egne Primary Levels, så sjekk iseetest.org for ditt.

Upper Level har fire flervalgsdeler og et essay, alltid i samme rekkefølge. Verbal resonnering har 40 spørsmål på 20 minutter: synonymer, pluss setninger der ett ord eller et ordpar mangler. Kvantitativ resonnering har 37 spørsmål på 35 minutter: tekstoppgaver og kvantitative sammenligninger, der du avgjør hvilken av to størrelser som er størst, om de er like eller om opplysningene ikke rekker. Leseforståelse har 36 spørsmål på 35 minutter, seks til hver av seks tekster. Matte har 47 spørsmål på 40 minutter og dekker tallregning, algebra, geometri, måling, dataanalyse og sannsynlighet. Essayet varer i 30 minutter.

Noen spørsmål i hver flervalgsdel er uvurderte prøvespørsmål til fremtidige prøver, og du kan ikke se hvilke. De offisielle veiledningene sier at feil svar ikke gir poengtrekk, så svar på alle spørsmål. Essayet gis ikke poeng, men skolene du oppgir som mottakere, får en kopi. Resultatene rapporteres som persentilrangeringer, med skalerte scorer og stanines, sammenlignet med andre elever på ditt trinn som søker til uavhengige skoler.

Slik bruker du denne smakebiten

De 15 spørsmålene følger den ekte rekkefølgen, så du møter det samme skiftet i tenkemåte som den ekte prøven krever. Spørsmål 1 til 4 er verbal resonnering, 5 til 8 er kvantitativ resonnering, 9 til 11 er leseforståelse og 12 til 15 er matte. De tre lesespørsmålene deler én kort tekst som StudyPDF-teamet har skrevet, så hvert spørsmål gjentar den. Alle de andre spørsmålene har teamet også skrevet. Ingen er en offisiell ISEE-oppgave. Den ekte ISEE har fire svaralternativer på hvert spørsmål, og nøyaktig ett er riktig, så velg alle som passer og fyll inn luken her er ekstra øvingsformater.

Ta den i én økt uten notater og uten kalkulator, for det tillater ikke den ekte prøven. Les så forklaringen til hvert spørsmål, også de du fikk riktig. Sorter bommene dine etter del. En bom på en kvantitativ sammenligning og en bom på en tekstoppgave er ulike problemer: det første handler om å teste noen verdier før du bestemmer deg, det andre om å finne regelen oppgaven skjuler.

ERB gir ut sin egen veiledning for Upper Level med en full øvingsprøve og fasit. Bruk denne smakebiten til å finne de svake delene dine, og ta så den offisielle øvingsprøven under tidspress.
