How it works
We tell you exactly what your child needs to learn — and in what order. Then we teach it, step by step.

Every student starts with a diagnostic. Everything after that is personalized.

Save the heartache of wasted time, the anxiety of not knowing if you are covering the right material or whether you're progressing at the right schedule. With detailed lessons delivered responsively to your child's progress, Logical Prep is light-years beyond what other platforms offer: it's more thorough and more detailed, while saving you and your child time and anxiety.

01
Diagnose

A 25-minute adaptive diagnostic tests all four ISEE sections. It adapts in real time — finding your child’s exact strengths and gaps. No prep needed.

We don't just find the gap. We find what's beneath it.

When your child gets a question wrong, most test prep just marks it incorrect and moves on. Logical Prep does what a great tutor does — it asks a follow-up question to find out why.

Do they understand fractions but struggle to multiply them? Or do they not yet understand what a fraction is? The answer changes everything about what to teach next.

If a building block is missing, Logical Prep pauses, teaches that foundation first, then returns to the harder skill. No time wasted. No guessing.

Each of the 128 skill modules includes a narrated whiteboard video and clearly laid out lesson.

Only the lessons your child needs to learn are included in their study plan. Your child's time is valuable — we treasure it, and teach what they need to know.

What is  3/4 + 2/3  ?
Step 1 Find the LCD of 4 and 3
LCD = 12
Step 2 Convert each fraction
3/4 = 9/12    2/3 = 8/12
Step 3 Add the numerators
9/12 + 8/12 = 17/12 = 1 5/12

Learn words by
their Latin roots.

Most ISEE vocab prep is just flashcards. Logical Prep teaches words through their Latin and Greek roots — so one root unlocks 5–8 words at once, and gives your child a tool to decode words they've never seen before.

✦
Organized by root families
30–60 roots per level, each teaching 4–8 related words with definitions, breakdowns, and example sentences.
✦
Built into the weekly study plan
Each week includes vocab roots alongside skill modules. Students learn a new root, get quizzed, and review past words with spaced repetition.
✦
Spaced repetition keeps words locked in
Words come back at increasing intervals — 1, 3, 7, 14, 30 days. Miss one and it resets. Get it right 3 times and it's mastered.

Features
Built different.
On purpose.

Most test prep is static — the same content for every student. Logical Prep is genuinely adaptive at every layer.

🧠
Adaptive difficulty

Every question is chosen based on the student's current rung — not too easy, not too hard. Questions get harder as skills are confirmed, easier when errors appear.

Adaptive
🎬
128 narrated video lessons

Every skill has a whiteboard-style video with a patient teacher voice. Students watch the problem get solved step by step before tackling practice questions.

Video lessons
🔍
Error pattern analysis

Wrong answers aren't just marked incorrect. The system identifies whether the error was conceptual, procedural, or careless — and adjusts future questions accordingly.

In-question hints

Stuck on a question? The Help Me button generates a live AI walkthrough of that specific problem — step by step, tailored to the exact question on screen.

Predicted ISEE scores

After every diagnostic and full test, students see a predicted scaled score, stanine (1–9), and percentile band — using ERB's exact scoring tables for their level and grade.

⏱
Timed mastery challenges

Knowing the answer isn't enough if it takes 3 minutes. After regular mastery, students take a timed round — proving they can perform under exam conditions.

Timed mastery
🎮
Game-based practice

Three built-in games turn drilling into play: Blitz is a 90-second arcade round, Boss Battle is an untimed math duel against a boss, and Case File is a suspect chase for reading comprehension. Every round still feeds the same study plan and mastery tracking behind the scenes.

Common questions
FAQ
What is the best online ISEE test prep? +

Logical Prep is an adaptive online ISEE preparation platform built by Central Park Tutors, drawing on over 20 years of experience preparing students for New York City's most demanding private schools.

Yes. Logical Prep covers ISEE Lower Level (for students applying to grades 5–6), Middle Level (grades 7–8), and Upper Level (grades 9–12).

A traditional tutor meets once or twice a week and covers what they think the student needs. Logical Prep works every day, adapts to exactly what the student demonstrated in their last session, and never forgets a skill gap. It's not a replacement for a great tutor — it's what students do between sessions to maximize every hour of instruction.

A 7-day free trial is included — no credit card required.

Can parents track their child's progress? +

Yes. Logical Prep includes a dedicated parent overview that shows section-by-section progress, this week's focus skills, and a predicted ISEE scaled score and stanine — without the student-facing detail that can feel overwhelming.
