+160 points on the SAT Math!
“This is your future, and if you really want it, you have to put in the effort.”
Before working with Peace of Pi, I took my first SAT and quickly realized that I wasn’t as prepared for the math section as I thought. A lot of the material felt unfamiliar. Some of it honestly looked like gibberish, and I knew I needed help if I wanted to reach my goal of scoring above a 700 and getting into a strong college.
Coming into the program, I wasn’t sure what to expect, especially with the workload and the fact that it was virtual group tutoring. The workload was definitely a lot at first, especially over the summer, but once I stayed organized and followed the schedule Peace of Pi provided, it became very manageable. The virtual format actually surprised me the most—in a good way. I didn’t love Zoom learning during COVID, but this was completely different. I stayed engaged, learned a lot, and the four-hour classes flew by because we were actively working through questions the entire time.
All of the tutors I worked with were extremely knowledgeable, even though they were close to my age. I had several different tutors, and I learned something new from each one. They explained things clearly, and the material finally started to make sense. One of the most helpful parts of the program was the video solutions. Even after my tutoring sessions ended, I went back to the practice tests and followed along with the videos question by question, which helped reinforce everything I learned.
The results speak for themselves. I raised my SAT Math score from a 610 to a 770—a 160-point increase—and earned a 1430 overall. That score has given me a lot more confidence when applying to colleges, and it made me realize that I can still improve even more if I keep putting in the work.
Peace of Pi is an investment, but it’s an investment in your future. If you stay organized and truly commit to the process, it’s absolutely worth it. I would recommend Peace of Pi to any student without hesitation…it’s a 10 out of 10! My advice to other students is simple: keep working hard. This is your future, and if you really want it, you have to put in the effort.
