Most international and private schools require those applying to grades 3-12 to have taken a standardized test within two years of the date of application. The most common form of standardized testing for schools such as Taipei American School is the Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE). The ISEE is required of students, who are identified as English language learners. The ISEE scores are needed to determine academic English language proficiency and mathematical ability. TeachME has helped many students achieve high marks on the ISEE, which allowed them to enter into their dream schools.
