Can my child take the ISEE online, or is it only offered in person?

Great news: your child can take the ISEE online from the comfort of home. There are a few formats to choose from—online at home with a virtual proctor, at a Prometric testing center, or the traditional pencil-and-paper version at participating schools.

If your child does better in pajamas than a desk chair, the at-home option is a win. Just make sure your tech setup checks all the boxes, including a quiet room, a reliable internet connection, and a webcam.

Some schools do prefer in-person testing, so it’s worth double-checking with your top picks before locking anything in. Bottom line: ISEE flexibility is real, and San Diego families can totally take advantage of it.
