All ISEE Upper Level Quantitative Resources
The ISEE test has two math-related sections: typical math and word problem-based math, or “Quantitative Math.” For some, this is an area that can be more difficult. The word problem writers enjoy slipping in that extra information you may not really need. The best way to combat this is through ISEE Upper Level Quantitative review. Varsity Tutors’ Learning Tools offer hundreds of flashcards with problems that you can work with to learn the information you need to know for the test. When you get them wrong, the site provides pointers and an explanation as to how the problem is solved correctly. With hundreds of categories and subcategories, you can get down to the areas in which you really need support.
The moment you first visit the Learning Tools, you gain total access to thousands of flashcards for the ISEE Upper Level tests. It’s entirely up to you how you use them. You may bring them up using your tablet or a smartphone that has Internet access to thumb through a few different flashcards in your downtime. You can bring studying anywhere you are, whether you’re on a break at work, in between classes, or even watching commercials. Friends or classmates can be enlisted to turn your study efforts into a game by competing to solve the problems first, and, of course, correctly.
ISEE Upper Level Quantitative study flashcards are sorted into categories and subcategories to allow you to pick and choose what information you study. There are flashcards that cover word problem-based equations, prime factors, multiples, common factors, exponential operations, volume, length, surface area, triangles, trapezoids, squares, rhombuses, squares, and more. With the range of categories to choose from, you can use ISEE Upper Level Quantitative flashcards to identify the areas that are the most difficult for you. When you know where your weak points are, it becomes much easier to focus on improving in those areas.
You can use the Learning Tools flashcards maker to create custom flashcards to further enhance your study efforts. The custom flashcards creator provides a template that you can use to form flashcards that are more specific to your test. You can put in questions straight from your ISEE Upper Level Quantitative Review Test, or simply choose the material that has been most troublesome for you.
There are other Learning Tools available as well, which can be used alone or in conjunction with the flashcards. You can access full-length, timed practice tests, or even create your own, to further assess your preparation efforts, and see where you need to improve. If you take the practice tests regularly throughout your study efforts, you can slowly minimize the areas that you need to work on, as well as see where you have improved, therefore making studying more efficient.
