You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.214.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 January 2025. Your current IP address is 44.214.4.121.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Independent School Entrance Examination''' ('''ISEE''') is an [[entrance exam]] used by many [[independent school]]s and [[magnet school]]s in the United States.  Developed and administered by the [[Educational Records Bureau]] (ERB), the ISEE has four levels:<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.erblearn.org/services/isee-overview|title=ISEE Overview - Independent School Entrance Exam - ISEE Testing|website=www.erblearn.org|language=en|access-date=2018-05-23))</ref> the Primary level, for entrance to grades 2&ndash;4; Lower level, for entrance in grades 5&ndash;6; Middle level, for entrance in grades 7&ndash;8; Upper level, for entrance in grades 9&ndash;12. All levels consist of five sections: Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, Mathematics Achievement, and a 30-minute essay. The ISEE can be seen as a parallel to the [[Secondary School Admission Test]], or SSAT. It is currently administered by [[Measurement Incorporated]].

==Verbal reasoning==
This section consists of two parts: [[synonyms]] and sentence completions. Both parts measure the student’s [[vocabulary]] level and reasoning ability. The Synonym section assesses the student’s ability to pick, out of four options, a word with a similar meaning to the one in question. The Sentence Completion section assesses the student’s ability to complete a sentence logically by picking the correct word out of the four options presented.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.testprep-online.com/isee-verbal-reasoning.aspx|title = Isee Verbal Reasoning Practice & info))</ref> On the Upper and Middle Levels there are 40 questions to be answered in 20 minutes. On the Lower Level there are 34 questions to be answered in 20 minutes.

==Quantitative reasoning==
On the Lower Level, there are 38 questions to be answered in 35 minutes. On the Upper and Middle Levels, there are 37 questions to be answered in 35 minutes. The Lower Level consists of Word Problems, and the Middle and Upper levels consist of Word Problems and Quantitative Comparisons.

All questions found in the two math sections of the ISEE are linked to the [[National Council of Teachers of Mathematics]] (NCTM) Standards. The ISEE uses the following NCTM strands as a basis for the Quantitative Reasoning section:

* Numbers and Operations
* Algebra
* Geometry
* Measurement
* Data Analysis and Probability
* Problem Solving

==Reading comprehension==
On the Lower Level, there are 25 questions to be answered in 25 minutes. On the Middle and Upper levels, there are 36 questions to be answered in 35 minutes.

The Lower Level contains five reading passages, each followed by five questions. The Middle and Upper levels contain six reading passages, each followed by six questions. The passages include topics related to history, science, literature, and contemporary life.

The types of questions focus on six categories:

Main Idea, Supporting Ideas, Inference, Vocabulary, Organization/Logic and Tone/Style/Figurative Language.

==Mathematics achievement==
There are 30 questions to be answered in 30 minutes on the Lower level, and 47 questions to be answered in 40 minutes on the Middle and Upper levels.

As with the questions in the Quantitative Reasoning section, this section will include questions from NCTM standards.

==Essay==
On all three levels, candidates must plan and write an essay to provide a sample of his or her writing to schools to which the candidate is applying. A random topic is distributed, and students have 30 minutes to write an essay using a black or blue pen. The essay is not scored, but is [[photocopier|photocopied]] and sent to schools to which the student is applying.

==Breaks==
On all three levels, students are given two five-minute breaks when they take the ISEE.  One is after the Quantitative Reasoning section and the other is after the Mathematics Achievement Section.  During the breaks, students may use the restroom, talk, eat food, or walk around the room. However, students are not permitted to discuss the test.
