+110 points in math
“Achieved my dream score.. got into Notre Dame!
Read MoreMath has always been easier for me, so when my counselor asked me to increase my SAT score by 100 points, I thought that I could focus solely on the math section and see that improvement. I tried using Khan academy like one of my friends had done, but realized that I was not disciplined enough to dedicate an hour of each day to studying by myself.
After I took another SAT, I began seeing many students who had also taken it post about their score improvements through Peace Of Pi. Many kids were going up by 100 points and some even increased by as much as 200! I was immediately interested but wanted to talk to a friend who had been through the Peace of Pi course.
We spoke and she confirmed my hopes that the course was amazing, so I asked my mom to sign me up. I expected the course to be great, but what surprised me the most was the style of tutoring at Peace of Pi. We weren’t just taught quick tricks and SAT shortcuts, we were taught the math behind each style of problem.
I finished the Peace of Pi March course but was a little nervous since I had scheduled my SAT for May and there was a time gap between my tutoring sessions and the actual test. However, since the style of tutoring that I received at Peace of Pi was centered around truly learning, I was able to retain information much better than I would by just taking practice tests and focusing on the problems I got wrong.
Through Peace of Pi, I was able to learn and understand different variations of each type of problem that are consistently seen on the SAT. This allowed me to be prepared for any problem I was given rather than hoping I would get problems I had already seen before.
Through Peace of Pi and their amazing team of tutors who helped me in group tutoring sessions and one-on-one availability, I was able to increase my math score by 110 points!
Because of this incredible increase, I achieved my dream overall SAT score which helped me get into my dream university—Notre Dame! I am beyond thankful for the experience I had at Peace of Pi and how it impacted my future.
