No mother should be surprised to see very little of her grown children when they come home for summer college breaks and holidays. We learn this quickly the hard way.

According to recent data, 31,926 students have taken the ISEE, while more than 70,000 students sit for the SSAT annually. This suggests the SSAT has a broader reach and highlights the competitive demand for both tests among private school applicants.
