Stop guessing what to study for the private-school entrance exam. This 12-week plan starts with an honest diagnostic that maps Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, Reading, Math Achievement, and the Essay into solid, shaky, and missing — then spends the middle weeks drilling exactly the gaps that map found, with an AI tutor that diagnoses before it teaches and never just hands over the answer. The last three weeks are full, timed practice with a review of every single miss, ending in a dress rehearsal and an honest score. No official test content, no score guarantees — just a real plan, real timing, and a coach that keeps you honest. Use the official ISEE (ERB) or SSAT (SSATB) materials alongside it as your source of truth.
This is a digital guide, deep enough to actually run the plan from — not a worksheet stack. - A "Never used an AI chat assistant? Start here" onboarding that takes a complete beginner from zero to ready in about five minutes. Works with any free AI assistant (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini) — no paid plan needed. - Four rescue prompts in the front matter for when a session goes sideways, before you ever need them mid-week. - 12 weekly sessions, each built to run in about 60 minutes with an adult or student leading it fully scripted — a plain-language concept explanation, a concrete worked example, a minute-by-minute session plan, copy/paste AI-tutor prompts at every step, a "show me" checkpoint, common mistakes to watch for, and practice. No prep expertise needed going in. - An AI-tutor prompt playbook — a diagnose-first Socratic starter, a plateau-breaker for when a section score stalls, and a guardrail that bans answer-dumping and grade inflation. - A personal gap map you build in week 1 and revisit in week 12 to see exactly what moved.
Students preparing for a private-school entrance exam — the ISEE, the SSAT, or either one while still deciding which to take. It's built to be run by the student, though an adult guides younger students: leading one ~60-minute session each week, fully scripted, holding the schedule, running the timer, and asking for the "show me" at the end of each session rather than reteaching the content themselves. No AI or test-prep expertise needed — every step is timed and every AI prompt is written for you.
A raw chatbot will answer whatever you paste in, which feels productive but teaches you nothing about your actual weak spots — and it won't know whether you're sitting the ISEE or the SSAT, or what your specific level's timing looks like. This pack ships what a chatbot alone lacks: an up-front diagnosis that tells you what to study first, a structured 12-week progression instead of random practice, real timed practice under section time limits (not untimed noodling), and a forced review of every miss for the underlying cause — content gap, misread, vocabulary, or timing. A prep book gives every student the same 500 questions regardless of what they actually need; this pack adapts to your gap map.
