+120 points on the SAT Math!

“I now feel like I have a real shot at the schools I’ve always dreamed about.”

Prior to Peace of Pi, my SAT score was stuck at 1400, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get my math score any higher. I had worked with private tutors before, but those sessions were just one hour a week with no homework or accountability. I knew I needed a stronger score to have a real shot at my dream school, the University of Florida Honors Program, so I decided to try Peace of Pi.

At first, I was nervous about the workload and about learning in group Zoom classes. I honestly thought four-hour classes would feel overwhelming, but I was surprised by how fast they went by. The group setting ended up being really helpful! There were usually just a couple of us, and explaining problems out loud when I got them wrong actually made me understand the material so much better.

The biggest game-changer for me was the homework and structure. Since I did the program over the summer, I was able to dedicate several hours a day to math without the distractions of school. Having a clear schedule with deadlines kept me from procrastinating, and committing fully made all the difference.

My tutor was amazing, she knew exactly how to explain the math in a way that clicked, and even though she was close to my age, I actually found that made her easier to relate to.

The program was definitely a lot of work, but it paid off. My math score went up by 120 points, from a 670 to a 790. That improvement has completely changed my confidence going into college applications. I now feel like I have a real shot at the schools I’ve always dreamed about, and the stress of the SAT is finally behind me.

I would absolutely recommend Peace of Pi to anyone who is serious about raising their score. It’s challenging, and you have to commit, but if you put in the work, you will see results. For me, the investment was 100% worth it.

If you’re going to do this program, be ready to fully commit. Wake up early, stay consistent with the homework, and stay engaged in the classes. It’s hard work—but if you take it seriously, you’ll get results you might not think are possible.
