A tutor sees your child once a week. The ISEE verbal section rewards the child who practiced word parts and sentence completion every day in between. LexiMap owns that daily drill — and shows you it's working. Pair it with timed passage practice for complete ISEE verbal prep.

Real parent experiences

What SSAT and ISEE parents say

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.
