Students are generally able to take the ISEE twice during the application cycle. In Houston, we recommend that students take the ISEE in mid-November and again in early January (if they were unhappy with their first attempt).

Students generally take the test either at their current school (for terminal middle schools) or at the school to which they’re applying.

Registration opens August 1st and does fill up, so parents should register as early as possible.
