Prompt: “Describe a time when you worked with others to achieve a goal. What role did you play, and what did you learn from the experience?”
Answer (sample structure):
In the ISEE Essay, there is no multiple choice. Students must write a clear, organized essay. The structure should include an introduction, body paragraphs with supporting details, and a conclusion. For example, a student might describe working on a school science project, explaining how they contributed ideas, divided responsibilities, and cooperated with teammates. They should emphasize what was learned—such as communication, responsibility, or teamwork. The purpose of the essay is to showcase writing ability, clarity, grammar, and logical flow, not factual correctness. Practicing with personal experiences and structuring responses around the prompt is key for success.
