When should we start ISEE prep if we’re applying from Dubai?

The sooner, the better, but don’t panic if you’re running a little late. Ideally, students should start prepping for the ISEE at least 3 to 6 months before their desired test date. This gives enough time to learn the material, build test-taking confidence, and run through a few full-length practice exams. 

For families in Dubai, it also helps to factor in the time difference when booking tutoring sessions or registering for tests. Starting early means fewer last-minute cram sessions and a much calmer experience for everyone. Think of it as planting seeds for success—in good time, it’ll bloom into a great score.
