“Thank you so much for preparing my daughter for the Selective Enrollment process from last March’s ISAT’s to preparing her for the Selective Enrollment Exam. Both areas have equal importance in determining whether or not one can even compete for a seat at one of the Selective Enrollment High Schools.”
