Thank you for purchasing the 200 ISEE Words to Know for Elementary Levels from Test Innovators.

This list is intended to prepare your child or student for their once-a-year opportunity to take the official
ISEE.

This document includes 200 words with synonyms for definitions. Students will also benefit from
making up and writing down a sentence using each new word.

Many students will already know some of the words in this list. Students can then make a plan to
learn a certain number of new words each month or week. For example, if a student has 6 months
before the exam, he or she can endeavor to learn 50 words a month - about 10 or 12 words a week. If
a student has only 3 months before the test, he or she will have more like 25 words a week to study.*

*However, students should not feel pressure to learn every word on this list. As tutors, we recommend
that if a student has only a month or two to prepare before an exam that they focus their energies on
learning strategies, completing timed sections, and building confidence.

Students can also make flashcards using the words found here, or use the Test Innovators flashcards
found on Quizlet: https://quizlet.com/testinnovators/folders.

Any of these 200 words may appear on the official Lower Level ISEE.

This download is not for multiple students’ use. Distributing this download or printed versions of this
document to people other than the one student for whom it was purchased is prohibited.
