The Power 9 ISEE Math Middle Level course is a one stop shop to thoroughly prep for the math portion of the Middle Level ISEE. I have spent the last three years preparing students for the middle level ISEE exam, and have seen students make it into the most prestigious private schools in the country, including Harvard Westlake and Brentwood located in Los Angeles, California. After reviewing and categorizing all of the practice ISEE problems I could find, I developed extensive analytics that have allowed me to create a specially tailored crash course to educate my students in every single aspect of the ISEE quantitative reasoning and math achievement sections.
