+160 points on the SAT Math!

“What helped me the most was how the program breaks everything down by topic. The classes, homework, and videos all worked together…”

Before starting with Peace of Pi, I wasn’t very good at tests, especially math. I knew I needed help, but I didn’t really have a clear goal in mind at first. Seeing my friends talk about college and how important the SAT is made me realize I had to take it seriously.

At the beginning, staying on top of the homework was challenging, especially with school and soccer. But once I started using a calendar and organizing my time better, it made a big difference. I learned how to manage everything and stay consistent.

I was a little unsure about virtual group tutoring at first because of past experiences, but it ended up being really effective. The tutors kept me engaged the entire time, and I never felt distracted. Even the four-hour classes went by quickly because we were always working and learning.

What helped me the most was how the program breaks everything down by topic. The classes, homework, and videos all worked together, so if I didn’t understand something, I could go back and practice until I got it. It really helped me understand math better, especially algebra.

I started around a 470 in SAT Math, and after the program I improved to a 630. That improvement showed me that if I put in the work and stay consistent, I can keep improving even more.

I would definitely recommend Peace of Pi. If you really dedicate yourself, stay organized, and complete all the work, you can do better than you think. It’s only a few months, and if you give it your all, it’s worth it.
