My kid wasn’t able to take the ISSE in time to apply to 6th grade. So admissions gave them zoom tests. Which we didn‘t prep for at all. Oh well. probably won’t get in anywhere. So stupid.
NP. I don’t know about the ISEE but the online SSAT didn’t work at all. At the test date, DH spent almost 3 hours with tech support to make it work. The proctor never allowed DC to take a break; another DC I know was allowed to take breaks every 10 minutes and lost focus. It was a sh!tshow. eventually they suspended offering the SSAT altogether- they might have reinstated it later but at that point it was moot.
Did you apply after the deadline? Most NYC private middle schools had application deadlines in mid-November or Dec 1. DC was able to get an on-line ISEE slot after this time.
When will you find out?

Which schools administered an on-line Zoom test in lieu of the ISEE?
Why couldn't they take the ISEE online?

We were just too late. Applied last minute. Will be a miracle if they get in anywhere.
