A Verification Letter is emailed to every family after they register for a test. This Verification Letter is required at check-in on the day of testing. The Verification Letter confirms a student’s ISEE ID Number, test date, time, and location. Be sure to check in by the check-in time listed on your Verification Letter.

Upon completion of the registration process, the Verification Letter is emailed to families to confirm their test registration details. The Verification Letter is also available in your parent account and may be printed out. If you are unable to locate your Verification Letter or there is incorrect information on your letter, please call the ISEE Operations Office at 1 (800) 446-0320 or 1 (919) 956-8524.
