ACT/SAT Test Prep + Math and English End of Course Readiness

Piqosity is a single e-learning platform that will help your school meet its performance goals not only for college readiness but also for math and English improvement as measured by end of course exams.

Comparative Analytics

With peer-normed analytics, you’ll know how your students compare – not only to their peers but to the entire Piqosity community.

We dynamically peer-norm every question¹, so you know exactly how difficult a question is based on how real students are answering it.

Piqosity also shows you a variety of performance metrics, including improvement over time, pace, and weakest areas.

¹As of fall 2022, we’re still in the process of norming our new Math and English courses.

Piqosity Virtual Tutor

Piqosity Virtual Tutor (PVT) is the ultimate teacher’s assistant, which guides students through Piqosity’s lessons and assessments at their own pace and level.

Like a personalized playlist for every student, PVT will individualize a course’s curriculum to each student’s unique goals and proficiency levels.

With PVT students will always be studying the correct material and working the right level of assessment for them.

Intelligent Remediation

Piqosity Virtual Tutor (PVT)¹ continuously measures student progress in the current and in pre-requisite topics.

When PVT identifies a student consistently underperforming, it automatically makes the connection and recommends remediation.

Students remediate a topic by studying the relevant lesson and working associated practice questions to demonstrate proficiency.

¹Intelligent Remediation launches in fall of 2023 with PVT 2.0.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do schools implement Piqosity for ACT, SAT or End of Course test prep?2024-02-22T12:59:56-06:00

Piqosity increasingly works with many private, public, and charter schools. Here are some popular ways school leaders have chosen to implement Piqosity:

  1. Boot Camps. These are dedicated one or multi-day courses to prepare for a specific test. Piqosity can provide the course instructor remotely or in-person; also schools can provide their own instructor.
  2. In-Class. Many schools have dedicated “college prep” or “ACT prep” classes that meet regularly like core academic classes and run an entire semester. Piqosity can be used for test prep during the entire course or just in the weeks leading up to the official test.
  3. Tutorials. Another popular time to use Piqosity is during dedicated intervention periods during or after school.
What kind of score improvement can my school expect from test prep?2024-02-22T12:52:05-06:00

While every school and student is unique, Piqosity’s research and analysis shows that students can generally expect an improvement on the ACT of 1 point for every 7 hours of quality studying. For the Digital SAT, students can expect an approximately 40 point improvement for every 7-hours or approximately a 1-day bootcamp.

Can Piqosity teach an ACT or SAT test prep bootcamp at my school?2024-02-22T12:48:11-06:00

Yes, Piqosity can fully staff and execute a one or multi-day “boot camp” for ACT or SAT test preparation. This course can be hosted remotely or on-site for additional cost.

Can Title 1 funds be used to pay for Piqosity?2024-02-22T12:46:03-06:00

Yes, we currently work with several public schools which have used Title 1 funding to pay for Piqosity ACT and SAT test prep plus math and English end of course prep without issue.

Do you offer a score increase guarantee for schools?2024-02-22T12:33:38-06:00

While it’s impossible for us to offer a specific score-increase guarantee for our institutional customers, we do offer a satisfaction guarantee.

We are confident that Piqosity is the most advanced and innovative e-learning platform on the market and that your students will benefit from its use. However, in the event that your school is unhappy with the purchase, then we will make it right by providing you with free coaching and/or up to 1 year of additional access.

Can ESSER or EANS funds be used to buy Piqosity?2024-02-22T12:33:23-06:00

Yes, in our experience most public and private schools can use federal, pandemic relief funds to pay for Piqosity student licenses. The specific rules of using ESSER and EANS funds vary by state. However, Piqosity generally qualifies since it’s a software solution specifically designed to measure and mitigate learning loss in K12 math and English.
