+120 points on the SAT Math!
“The virtual group classes were actually one of my favorite parts!”
I hadn’t done much preparation for the SAT prior to Peace of Pi. On my first attempt, I scored a 480 in math. I quickly realized I couldn’t bring my score up on my own, so I asked a friend for a recommendation, and that’s how I found Peace of Pi.
For me, getting a good score was about more than just college admissions. I wanted to earn Bright Futures to save my parents money and to make sure I had strong opportunities when it came to applying to colleges.
One of my biggest struggles was staying focused throughout such a long test. The SAT requires you to stay locked in for hours, and I knew I needed help building that kind of stamina.
From the very beginning, Peace of Pi was clear about the level of commitment it would take. That transparency helped me go in with the right mindset, knowing it wasn’t going to be easy. The virtual group classes were actually one of my favorite parts—I liked the discipline they built into my routine, and the tutors explained everything really well. Because they’re close to my age and had learned the material recently, I actually felt like they were more qualified than older tutors.
The workload was a lot, especially during the school year, but I found ways to manage it. I would study in short pockets of time whenever I could. What helped me most were the classes themselves. Spending four hours a week fully immersed in the material made the information stick, and the repetition gave me the focus I needed.
In the end, my math score went from a 480 to a 600, a 120-point improvement. That result earned me 75% Bright Futures, which means a huge financial relief for my family and a big step toward my future goals.
Peace of Pi was absolutely worth the investment. It’s not magic—you have to put in the work…but if you stay disciplined and committed, you’ll see the results.
The best advice I could give is to get an iPad (or a tablet) for the program. It makes studying so much easier than carrying around papers. And above all, stay disciplined. The work is tough, but the payoff is worth it.
