+210 points on the SAT Math!
“I earned a 1530 on the SAT with a perfect 800 in math!”
I had already tried several different tutors before finding Peace of Pi, but none of them really worked for me. The biggest issue was that nothing felt consistent or structured. I needed something more accessible (something I could do from home) and I was also looking for a program with proven results. When I saw the improvements Peace of Pi students were getting, I felt confident that this program could actually help me.
Going into the program, math was definitely weaker for me than reading. I wanted to raise my math score so it would be on par with the rest of my application, especially because I’m aiming for competitive schools and I know SAT scores matter in admissions. Before tutoring, my biggest frustration was that there were certain questions where I didn’t even know how to start. I would completely freeze and end up guessing because I didn’t understand what the question was asking.
What immediately stood out about Peace of Pi compared to my previous tutoring experiences was the structure. There was a clear plan, and I really liked having longer Saturday classes instead of scattered short sessions during the week. It felt more intentional and productive. I was also surprised—in a good way—by the virtual group format. I expected we might just go over homework answers, but instead we were solving problems together in real time, which made the learning feel much more active and collaborative.
The tutors played a huge role in helping me feel confident. They never just gave answers—they walked me through each problem step by step and made sure I actually understood why I was doing what I was doing. I also appreciated the repetition. We kept revisiting concepts until they really stuck, which made a big difference on test day.
The workload was intense, especially toward the end, but it was worth it. What helped me most was getting ahead on weekends and using any spare time during the week to work through assignments. The repetition and volume of practice made everything feel more automatic. When I saw similar problems on the SAT, I immediately recognized them and knew exactly how to approach them.
One of the most unique and helpful aspects of Peace of Pi was the availability of resources. I always had access to videos, written solutions, and explanations. I never felt stuck because I could always find help without waiting. I especially loved the large problem packets paired with solution packets and videos. It allowed me to work independently while still having support whenever I needed it. The quizzes were also helpful because they forced me to truly test my understanding before reviewing mistakes.
The results speak for themselves. I earned a 1530 on the SAT with a perfect 800 in math. I improved from a 590 starting score, which is a 210-point increase. That score completely changed how I feel about college applications. Instead of worrying that my SAT would be a weak point, I now feel confident and excited about where I’m applying.
Peace of Pi is not easy. It’s demanding and requires real effort, but it is extremely effective. If you commit to the process, the results are absolutely worth it. I would strongly recommend this program to students who are willing to work hard and want to see real improvement. My advice to other students is to push through the hard parts and change your mindset. Treat it like a challenge or a game. Once you do that, it becomes much easier, and the payoff is worth it.
