ISEE Primary 2 study plan

Define the Reading domain's tested skill set (main idea, detail retrieval, inference, vocabulary in context, sequence) and rate current comfort with each on a 1-5 scale.

Establish a daily 20-minute read-aloud routine using short passages at the target grade band, tracking words read and comprehension questions answered.

Build a passage-annotation habit: underline key details and circle unknown words in every practice passage.

Create a vocabulary log of 15 words met in context, each with a child-friendly definition and an original example sentence.

Practice identifying main idea and supporting details across 8 short passages, writing a one-sentence summary for each.

Distinguish literal detail questions from inference questions in 10 practice items, labeling each item type before answering.

Answer vocabulary-in-context items by substituting each answer choice back into the sentence to test fit.

Review every missed item and record the reason for the error (misread question, missed detail, unsupported inference).

Complete two timed Reading sets of 10 items each, finishing within a per-item pace of about 90 seconds.

Map the Mathematics domain's content areas (number sense, addition and subtraction, place value, measurement, geometry, patterns, word problems) and rate comfort with each.

Set up a math facts routine: 10 minutes daily on addition and subtraction within 20 for fluency.

Read each math word problem twice and restate the question in your own words before computing.

Practice place value to hundreds: read, write, and compare numbers using greater-than and less-than symbols across 20 items.

Solve two-digit addition and subtraction with and without regrouping, showing work for 25 problems.

Translate 10 word problems into number sentences before solving, identifying the operation word cues.

Identify and extend number and shape patterns across 10 sequences, stating the rule for each.

Measure and compare lengths using standard units across 15 items, choosing the correct unit for each object.

Identify and describe basic two- and three-dimensional shapes by sides, corners, and faces across 15 items.

Read and interpret simple picture graphs and tally charts, answering 10 comparison questions.

Tell time to the hour and half hour and solve 10 elapsed-time questions using a number line.

Retarget the three weakest math item types from week 5 with 10 focused problems each.

Practice two-passage paired reading items, comparing information across texts in 6 items.

Build a mixed review set of 15 Reading and 15 Mathematics items and complete it in one sitting to build stamina.

Rehearse a test-day routine: read directions fully, answer known items first, and flag uncertain items for return.

Take one full-length timed practice test under realistic conditions, with no breaks mid-section.

Score the practice test by domain and item type, computing percent correct for Reading and Mathematics separately.

Re-work every missed item from the practice test until each is correct without prompts.

Update the vocabulary log to 40 words and quiz yourself on all entries.

Drill only the item types still below 80 percent correct, 15 items per type.

Take a second shortened timed practice test and compare scores to week 7 to confirm improvement.

Finalize a one-page test-day checklist covering pacing, annotation, and checking work.

Reduce study volume in the last two days and confirm logistics: test time, materials, and rest.
