+170 in Math
“If I were to tell another student about Peace of Pi, I’d say they give you everything you need to succeed with the SAT, but it’s up to you to put in the work. “
I realized I needed Peace of Pi’s help when I started taking PSATs in freshman year. My math score was way lower than my reading score, and I knew it was a problem. By mid-junior year, after seeing only small improvements and trying my school’s prep course, which didn’t really work for me. I knew I needed to do something serious.
Before joining Peace of Pi, I didn’t know what to study for, especially after the test switched to online. I was unfamiliar with the new calculator, and there were a lot of small tips I was missing that Peace of Pi helped me with. That made a big difference.
To be honest, I was skeptical about the virtual group learning at first. I’d experienced online school during COVID, and it wasn’t great. But with Peace of Pi, I was proven wrong. The group was really tight, and the tutors always checked in on us to make sure we understood every question. I was also grouped by my skill level, so I never felt lost or worried about how I was doing.
If I were to tell another student about Peace of Pi, I’d say they give you everything you need to succeed with the SAT, but it’s up to you to put in the work. You can’t just breeze through it—you might need to sacrifice some time, like skipping out on hanging with friends to get your two hours of studying in each day. But if you’re serious, the results will come.
With Peace of Pi, I went from a 520 to a 690 in math—that’s 170 points. Now, I qualify for a full Bright Futures scholarship, and my college application looks way better. I’m even considering schools I never thought I could apply to before. It’s been a huge change for me, and I’m really glad they helped me get there.
My advice: Lock in. It’s going to be hard, but if you put in the work, the results will come. Just trust the process.
