“I felt that with the right materials and guidance, I could make significant improvements… and Peace of Pi provided exactly what I needed!”
I decided to join Peace of Pi because my SAT score wasn’t where I needed it to be. It wasn’t high enough to qualify for Bright Futures or get into the colleges I was aiming for. I hadn’t really practiced much before, so I felt that with the right materials and guidance, I could make significant improvements… and Peace of Pi provided exactly what I needed!
Before the course, my biggest frustration was running out of time on the tests. I didn’t know how to approach or solve many of the questions, so I’d get stuck and fall behind. At first, I thought the program would be overwhelming—four hours a week sounded like a lot. But once I got into the rhythm of completing the homework and attending the classes, it became manageable.
What I liked most about Peace of Pi was the group learning environment. I thought it would be tough, but it turned out to be really comfortable. It felt better than one-on-one tutoring because I wasn’t alone in the process, and the group dynamic kept me motivated.
The program does require a lot of effort, but it’s absolutely worth it. My math score improved by 160 points, and I now have a total score of 1350. With this score, I’ve already qualified for 100% Bright Futures, and I’m able to apply to most of the colleges I was aiming for, including some prestigious ones.
For anyone considering Peace of Pi, my advice is to pace yourself and stay consistent with your studying. Don’t let the workload overwhelm you—if you put in the effort, you’ll see the results. For me, it’s been a game-changer, and I’m excited to see how much further I can go!
