Testimonials

My name is Matthew Rosa, and I’m an upcoming senior attending Florida Christian School. Initially, I had a 1270 composite SAT score, which wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t going to cut it for the schools I wanted to apply to. Despite my hard work, my scores remained pretty much the same from sophomore to junior year, going between 1230 and 1270. My journey with the SAT was kind of a roller coaster until I found Peace of Pi Learning, and I was starting to get worried. 

The turning point was realizing my scores didn’t align with the expectations of the colleges I wanted to apply to. FSU wanted at least 1290 and UF around 1330-1340. That’s when I decided to explore options beyond just Khan Academy and winging the SAT. A friend recommended Peace of Pi Learning, and after a quick look through their Instagram and website, I decided to give it a shot.

Initially, I expected the virtual group learning environment to resemble typical Zoom classes during COVID. I thought the classes would be bigger and definitely way less interactive. But to my surprise, it was entirely different. The small group setup felt more like a study group than a classroom, making it easier to ask questions and receive personalized feedback.

Describing the service feels a bit like describing a challenging gym workout. You know it’s going to be tough, and the process is intense, but the results are undeniably worth it. I didn’t expect the amount of work required, but the hard work paid off in a better-than-expected score improvement.

My journey with Peace of Pi Learning transformed my initial math score from a 610 to a 750, a 140-point increase! It was a tough journey, especially with AP tests and finals, but looking back, it was so worth it. This security in my SAT score has finally brought peace of mind about my college applications.

For students on their SAT journey, I suggest starting early, spreading out the workload, and remembering that any improvement is worth it, no matter how small. At the end of the day, an SAT score is just a number, it doesn’t define you. Overall, my experience with Peace of Pi Learning was incredible. They helped me achieve more than I thought was possible, and for that, I’m extremely grateful.
