We had a very productive week. As of now, there are 3,792 questions on Piqosity. As we prepare for a public go-live, our contributors are rushing to post the equivalent of 10 full-length practice tests in the ACT, SAT, and ISEE:

This week’s 636-question progress again set a new week record versus last week’s 452 questions. However, next week is spring break in Houston, which means we’ll also have a very limited staff and likely significantly lower numbers to report.
As far as Piqosity-seeded content goes, I now consider our work in the Upper Level ISEE complete. At 188% of goal we now offer the equivalent of 18.77 full-length practice tests or more than 56 hours of fun. For the upcoming ISEE season, there’s no reason to go anywhere else for practice questions.
Even with an uptick in offline student needs, we made some pretty good progress on the SAT. And we even moved the needle on the ACT for the first time in weeks! With ISEE complete, I will personally start devoting a lot of time to digitizing the five previously released ACT exams.
It’s been just under a month since we started blogging about our progress, and it has been a very productive period. Since our first post on February 11, we’ve added 1,670 questions and are now 32% closer to our goal.
Here’s What You Can Do Right Now with Piqosity Assessments
- For the ACT, students can work through the math sections from the 2015 and 2013 previously released ACTs; you can also work through 1 English passage, which I uploaded while testing out our new passage-based question feature
- For the SAT, students can work through the equivalent of 4.2 full-length tests, minus the verbal sections (Evidence Based Reading and Writing)
- For the ISEE, students can work through the equivalent of 18.77 full-length tests, which should really leave them wanting for nothing but the test to be over!
- For anyone not preparing for the above tests, our ISEE content is great for a wide range of math and english material utilized in grades 7 – 10.
