Frequently Asked Questions
If you upgrade from the free Community plan, your credit card will only be charged the one time with no recurring fees. All paid plans are currently valid for 365 days from the date of activation. No credit card is required to initially register for Piqosity’s free Community plan.
Currently, all of our Math and ELA courses are estimated to take around 40 hours to complete. School is in session for roughly 35 weeks out of the year; assuming a student works roughly 1 hour per week, your Piqosity math course will take the average student a full academic year to complete. Students using Piqosity to remediate or prepare for a standardized test such as the ISEE Lower Level, will likely have to compress this timeline.
Yes! Piqosity’s courses are designed to meet your student where they are, and they can be used for both enrichment and remediation. Your child can use Piqosity’s lessons and practice materials to review and reinforce the concepts they are struggling with in class. If they aren’t sure where to start, they can take a diagnostic test to help them understand where their weaknesses lie, or they can use the Piqosity Virtual Tutor to progress through the Course Outline from start to finish.

Piqosity’s new Digital SAT course is currently free through May 31, 2024. We are confident in the quality of our content but not all of it is available. Therefore, access is free because this course is still in development:
- Not all 12 full-length tests are available. While we intend to offer 12 digital SAT practice tests plus 2 PSAT tests, we are rolling them out sequentially between February and March, 2024.
- Instructional lessons are not yet uploaded. Our content team is in the process of adapting paper SAT lessons plus writing entirely new lessons and videos. These how-to guides will be uploaded beginning in March.
- The questions are not normed. Piqosity is unique among e-learning platforms in that every question on our platform is continuously peer-normed for difficulty. However, given the newness of the DSAT content, we don’t yet have that data. For this reason, you’ll also notice that our full-length tests are not currently numbered 1-12. Instead they have unique names like “Baker” or “Sid Rich” so that we can shuffle the order around in order to encourage more usage of certain tests during the free, development period.
Yes! All of our courses include a free “Community” plan with limited access to premium content like mini diagnostic tests. No credit card is required to register. If you decide that you want access to more premium content, simply upgrade your plan. Upgraded course plans are single-pay, non-recurring, and provide access for 365-days from the date of purchase.
The SAT is a standardized test required by many American colleges and universities during the admission process. Administered by the College Board, the SAT is a pencil-and-paper, multiple-choice exam that consists of 2 required sections:
- Math
- Evidence-Based Reading & Writing
The College Board stopped offering the optional essay section of the SAT and optional subject tests in 2021, both in the USA and internationally.
A strong score on the SAT can help open doors to more competitive colleges and universities. However, admissions boards review SAT scores alongside other parts of a college application, including GPA, performance in extracurricular activities, application essays, letters of recommendation, admissions interviews, and scores from other standardized tests (like the ACT).
You can register for the SAT online on the College Board site or via mail. For the online option, check out the College Board’s guidelines regarding account creation, photo ID submission, test dates, test center locations, and more.
To register by mail, you will need to ask your school counselor for a copy of the Student Registration Booklet for the SAT. If you need special accommodations for testing, including requests to test closer to home, you will need to register by mail. If you are ever unsure about your options for registration, ask your school counselor how to sign up for the SAT.
It costs $55 to take the SAT. Fee Waivers are available to eligible low-income 11th- and 12th- graders. Registration changes and additional services may cost additional fees.
Learn more about SAT Costs & Fee Waivers here.
Make sure you bring the following on test day:
- Your up-to-date admission ticket – Log into your College Board account and print
- Acceptable photo ID – Typically your school ID, driver’s license, or passport
- At least two No. 2 pencils with erasers – Mechanical pencils are not permitted
- An approved calculator – Graphing calculators are the most common option
- Face covering – During pandemic conditions
- Snacks and water – Avoid sugary drinks and snacks that will make you crash
For a comprehensive list of what to bring to the SAT — and what not to bring — see the College Board’s Test Day Checklist.
SAT preparation begins long before test day, and is primarily a reflection of the knowledge and skills a student learns over time in the classroom. However, test prep can help you review important concepts and, importantly, help test takers become more familiar and comfortable with the test itself.
Piqosity provides up to 10 full-length practice tests and a multitude of other free resources, including a Mini Diagnostic Test, adaptive practice questions, tutorials and video lessons, and more, to help you achieve your SAT goals. Sign-up is free!
For students who take the SAT during the school year, SAT scores are available online 2-4 weeks after your test date; release times may take longer during the summer months. You should receive an email alert when your scores are posted. Simply log in to your College Board account to view your scores.
If you selected prospective colleges when you registered for the SAT, your schools should receive your scores approximately 10 days after you do.
