For individual educators and big organizations alike, Piqosity offers a no-charge Learning Management System (LMS). Key features include student and educator management, aggregated analysis, and of course discounted pricing for student accounts! Take off with us! Our Houston-based team has 18+ years of experience.
We analyze your strengths and weaknesses, help you learn from your mistakes, and get you caught up on tested concepts. Students input their goal score with timeline, and Patrick the Piqosity Virtual Tutor (PVT) guides them step-by-step through personalized lessons, practice, and review.
Piqosity can create individualized practice sets based off a student’s weakest areas. A gamified mode provides instant feedback, leaderboard points, plus badges and sounds. Piqosity continuously updates the student’s estimated test day score after every full-length test and practice set.
Piqosity’s student interface includes helpful tools like answer choice strike-throughs, question flagging, and a whiteboard on which to do scratch work. Learn more about these features. Common Core-aligned courses feature concept lessons, unit tests, and practice questions with explanations.

To take full advantage of a Piqosity ELA course, students should begin their course progression by completing a unit. These units contain reading passages and corresponding questions similar to a practice reading comprehension test.

Once you’ve finished a passage, reviewed your work, and refreshed your knowledge with lessons, all that’s left to do is to practice and move on to the next passage!
