About this course

A free reading and verbal diagnostic to help you find your starting level. Work through three short quizzes — Elementary, Middle, and Upper — covering vocabulary, word relationships, and reading comprehension at increasing difficulty. Start with Elementary and move up as far as you’re comfortable; wherever your scores hold steady is your starting point for SSAT or ISEE prep. Takes about 15–20 minutes total, and there’s no cost or commitment — just a clear next step for wherever you’re starting from.

Course Curriculum

Elementary Reading Diagnostic (Grades 3-4)
Great job finishing the Elementary Reading quiz. If you scored 7 or more out of 10, try the Middle quiz next to see how far your skills go. If you scored below 7 out of 10, Elementary is your starting point. Here is where to begin: Prepping for the SSAT: start SSAT Elementary at mathdoesmatter.com/courses/ssat-elementary Prepping for the ISEE: start ISEE Lower at mathdoesmatter.com/courses/isee-lower Not sure which test you need?

Middle Reading Diagnostic (Grades 5-7)
Great job finishing the Middle Reading quiz. If you scored 7 or more out of 10, try the Upper quiz next to see if you're ready for that level too. If you scored below 7 out of 10, Middle is your starting point. Here is where to begin: Prepping for the SSAT: start SSAT Middle at mathdoesmatter.com/courses/ssat-middle Prepping for the ISEE: start ISEE Middle at mathdoesmatter.com/courses/isee-middle If you also struggled on the Elementary quiz, start there instead so nothing feels rushed. Not sure which test you need? Check your target school's requirements first, since many schools accept either one. Questions? Contact us at mathdoesmatter.com/contact-us-2.

Upper Reading Diagnostic (Grades 8-11)
Great job finishing the Upper Reading quiz, our hardest level. If you scored 7 or more out of 10, you're ready for Upper level reading prep. Here is where to begin: Prepping for the SSAT: start SSAT Upper at mathdoesmatter.com/courses/ssat-upper Prepping for the ISEE: start ISEE Upper at mathdoesmatter.com/courses/isee-upper If you scored below 7 out of 10, that's completely fine. Go with whichever earlier quiz you scored best on, Elementary or Middle, and start there instead. Not sure which test you need?
