What’s the difference between these tests?
The best way to find out is to go online and look at the ISEE and HSPT practice tests, or buy a prep book. The HSPT can be taken many times, but the ISEE can only be taken once in a six month period.
Will Alverno accept tests taken at other schools?
Yes. However preference is given to girls who test at Alverno, and girls who test elsewhere will be expected to attend a writing make-up session (date TBA) for which there may be a charge.
