+100 in Math

“Peace of Pi gave me the resources I needed to succeed, and I’m so thankful for the results!

I lost before I found Peace of Pi, struggling to find strategies to help me improve my SAT score. After scoring a 1210 on my first test and dropping to 1200 on the next, I realized that my study methods weren’t working. I felt stressed because I knew I needed a better score to get into the colleges I wanted, especially in Florida where test scores are required, and to qualify for Bright Futures.

I had been working with another tutoring service, but I wasn’t seeing any improvements, particularly in reading. Math was my stronger subject, so I decided to focus on improving my math score and hoped that it would help boost my overall results. My biggest frustration was feeling stuck at the same score no matter how much effort I put in.

When I joined Peace of Pi, I was worried that the virtual group learning environment would be too crowded and that I wouldn’t be able to ask questions. But I was pleasantly surprised! Classes were small and personalized, and I never felt too embarrassed to ask for help. The tutors, especially Marcela, were really supportive and made sure I understood the material.

The program was a lot of work, but it was worth it. My math score improved by 100 points, going from 620 to 720, and my overall SAT score jumped to 1390. This result has significantly reduced my stress, allowing me to focus on the college application process rather than the SAT.

To anyone considering SAT prep, I would say that you have to be dedicated and put in the effort. It’s not easy, but if you stick with it, you’ll definitely see improvement. Peace of Pi gave me the resources I needed to succeed, and I’m so thankful for the results!
