LexiMap vs Piqosity

Adaptive SSAT/ISEE test prep with free practice tests

Bottom line

This comparison is not a universal winner claim. Piqosity may be the better fit for broader study needs, lower-cost practice, or full-course support. LexiMap is built for a narrower job: focused daily verbal practice with root-based instruction, spaced review, and parent-visible progress.

LexiMap covers the verbal section — vocabulary, analogies, and context clues. It does not include reading passages, math, or essay practice; pair it with format practice for those.

ISEE-style sample question

The question

The doctor's handwriting on the prescription was so ___ that the pharmacist had to call the office just to figure out which medicine to fill.

  1. Aneat
  2. Billegible
  3. Ctyped
  4. Dclear

How LexiMap helps

Break it into parts

il-+legibleillegible

il- means “not,” and legible means “readable.” So illegible means “not readable.” The pharmacist needing to call confirms that meaning. Neat, typed, and clear do not explain the difficulty reading the prescription.

Which is right for your child?

  • Needing full-length practice tests plus quant, reading, and writing coverage in one place → Piqosity's one-time $99-199 package covers that breadth well.
  • Wanting the verbal section taught, not just tested → LexiMap: a structured curriculum in vocabulary, analogies, and context clues, automatic spaced review, and a skill-by-skill parent report — Piqosity's adaptive questions show where your child stands, not how to close the gap.

Piqosity measures verbal readiness alongside the rest of the test. LexiMap builds it, day by day.

Real parent experiences

What parents tell us

Different families, the same goal: make verbal practice clear enough to keep moving.

The diagnostic gave us a clear starting point, and the weekly tests showed what my daughter was actually retaining. The dashboard made it easy to see where she was improving and where she still needed help.

Kristy M

Parent of a seventh-grade ISEE student

Instead of memorizing random word lists, my son learned how words are built from roots, prefixes, and suffixes. The words kept coming back over time, so they actually started to stick.

David K

Parent of a seventh-grade SSAT student

My daughter kept up with the quests on her own between tutoring sessions. Her tutor could see the weak areas and spend more time on mistakes, harder questions, and test strategy instead of checking workbook pages.

Common questions

Can I use Piqosity and LexiMap together?

Yes — they complement each other well. Piqosity covers full-length practice tests and quant/reading sections. LexiMap goes deeper on the verbal skills that support readiness. Many families use both.

Piqosity is free to start — why pay for LexiMap?

Piqosity's free practice tests are great for seeing where your child stands. LexiMap picks up from there — it teaches vocabulary, analogy reasoning, and context clue skills through daily practice with spaced review, so your child actually improves between tests.

Want focused verbal practice before test day?

A weekly timed verbal section shows you exactly where your child stands — before test day does.
