Please enter the Westminster's code (571054) to have your scores sent to Westminster. Scores will be sent to both the school and the parent three to five days after taking the online test.

  • My child has an accommodation to receive extended time on exams. How is this handled?

    To receive accommodations for an ISEE Admission test, please contact ISEE directly for a list of available facilities. Please note that ISEE requires approximately five weeks to review and approve all accommodation requests.

    Students requesting ISEE accommodations will submit the required paperwork to ERB for review/approval at least five weeks in advance of a test date.  ERB will require a copy of the supporting documentation which details the specific accommodation (Psychoeducational report, IEP, etc. dated within the past three years). 

    Please contact ISEE to request accommodation approval. ISEE will then email the family with further instructions required for them to review and approve the accommodation for the admission test. Once approved, ISEE will assist the family in locating a test site that offers the test with accommodations.

  • What should I do if I need to cancel my test date?

    You may request to reschedule or cancel by calling the ISEE Operations Office at 1-800-446-0320. A cancelation fee may be assessed. There is no refund if you cancel on or after the test date.
