Otherwise, you will need to take the Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE) at a Prometric Test Center. For more information on the test, and all available dates, visit ISEE online, or Bishop Dunne Admission.

In order to learn more about preparing for the ISEE, you may download a preparation guide and access online interactive practice ISEE on the ERB Website.
