A tutor sees your child once a week. The SSAT verbal section rewards the child who practiced word parts and analogies every day in between. LexiMap owns that daily drill — and shows you it's working. Pair it with timed passage practice for complete SSAT verbal prep.
SSAT verbal work rewards students who can decode unfamiliar words, reason through analogies, and use context. LexiMap builds those skills through daily practice.
Immediate milestone
Verbal is the hardest section to cram for — word knowledge builds over weeks, not nights. Every month of daily practice widens the advantage.
Immediate milestone
The parent dashboard shows mastery progression, exam-readiness indicators, and which skills need more practice. Replace 'Am I doing enough?' with evidence.
Immediate milestone
182 root families + 109 affixes. LexiMap teaches your child to decode words from their building blocks -- including words they have never seen before.
Immediate milestone
LexiMap directly targets the two SSAT verbal question types - synonyms and analogies - through word-part mastery and relational reasoning practice. Pair it with timed passage work for the separately scored Reading Comprehension section.
LexiMap focus areas
On test day: SSAT Elementary is administered on paper; Middle and Upper Levels are paper at a test center, or a Windows or Mac computer (not a tablet or phone) for the at-home option.
Real parent experiences
Different families, the same goal: make verbal practice clear enough to keep moving.
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.

Parent of a seventh-grade SSAT student
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
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.
