Here is the detailed syllabus for quantitive reasoning and mathematical achievement sections:

1. Algebra

• Learn, understand, analyse the mathematical or graphical scenarios that include patterns, functions, and basic mathematical relations.
• Depict real-world situations using symbolic equations or graphical representations.
• Understanding of symbolic equations, tables, and graphs.
• Symbolic manipulation for equivalent equations, expressions.

2. Numerical Operations

• Basic numerical operations, relationship between numbers, relations of operations.
• Comparisons and operations of whole numbers, rational, real, complex, integer numbers.
• Matrices and vector operations.
• Combination and permutations.

3. Measurement

• Make, use formulae for measurable features of objects.
• Make use of formula for area, surface area, and volume calculation for cones, cylinders, spheres.
• Units and scales decision-making for problems.

4. Data Analysis And Probability

• Set of data – analyse, interpret and inference making, interpret, predictions, display.
• Probability concepts.
• Calculations of the mean, median, range, standard deviation, mode.
• Probability and expected values calculations.

ISEE Upper Level Practice

• As the upper level tests of ISEE are complex in nature so students should focus on through study and high-end practice. The practice tests available online or offline follow the same structure as the main exam paper so students can get an idea about the nature of the question paper.
