@AedinCulhane @AedinCulhane Our apologies for the delay in responding to you about your tester's experience w/ the ISEE at Home via Prometric. We've heard from several families that they had similar issues. If you'd like to connect with a member of our team please give us a call (866) 683‐2335

@ERBlearn my daughter is on proctor number 4. My daughter has spent 90 min before she got a proctor with a stable internet connection. She is exhausted and hungry before she even started .

@MichaelGranne @MichaelGranne very sorry to hear about your tester's experience taking the ISEE at a Prometric Test Center in NYC. If you'd like to connect with a member of our team please reach give us a call at (866) 683‐2335.

@clanghoff1 Not to avoid the question, but the question of validity is statistical and we simply don't have the data. But we can say, as you've noted, that the practice concerned us enough that we did not renew our bid to provide the ISEE for BPS exam school admissions.

@ERBlearn Thank you for clarifying. Would it be accurate to say that the way BPS used the scores reduced the validity of scores for determining placement in a very competitive entrance process?

Standardized tests are supposed to possess two qualities: validity (does it test for what it's supposed to) and reliability (can the outcomes be replicated). The ISEE has been identified as not valid for our exam schools - by the owners of the test, @ERBlearn

@clanghoff1 3/3 The ISEE has not been shown to be invalid or unfair for students of color. We just have not had enough data from students of color to declare it statistically devoid of bias. But we're working on it! We're revising ISEE prompts and reviewing exam questions RIGHT NOW.

@clanghoff1 2/3 We recommend looking at subtest scores individually to get a well-rounded view of each student, specifically examining reasoning ability alongside achievement so that students have multiple chances to shine. BPS was creating composite scores for students.

We're excited to announce a new partnership with @testinnovators to ensure that every #ISEE registrant has access to high-quality test familiarization resources. Click here to learn more! erblearn.org/ERB-and-Test-I…
