What types of tests does Cardinal Education prepare students for?

Cardinal Education prepares students for a variety of entrance exams required by NY private schools, including the SSAT (Secondary School Admission Test), ISEE (Independent School Entrance Examination), and HSPT (High School Placement Test). Each of these tests has its own unique format and content areas, and our expert tutors are knowledgeable in all of them.

The SSAT is commonly used by many private schools and assesses verbal, math, and reading skills. It also includes a writing sample. Our prep programs cover all these sections, ensuring that students are thoroughly prepared for each part of the test.

The ISEE is another widely accepted exam and has four levels: Primary, Lower, Middle, and Upper, depending on the student’s grade. It includes sections on verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, reading comprehension, mathematics achievement, and an essay. Our tailored prep programs help students master each section, focusing on their specific needs.

The HSPT is used by many Catholic high schools and covers verbal and quantitative skills, reading, mathematics, and language. Our test prep services provide comprehensive coverage of all these areas.

In addition to these standard tests, we also prepare students for the online Proctored Writing Sample (PWS) required by some schools. Our writing programs focus on essay organization, writing skills, and time management to ensure students excel in this timed writing task.
