+200 in Math
“If you’re serious about achieving your academic goals, Peace of Pi is the way to go!”
I’m Giovanna Musiello, also known as Gio. I’m currently in the 11th grade at Gulliver Prep. I wanted to share my experience with the tutoring service that significantly helped me improve my SAT scores… Peace of Pi!
Last October or November, I took the PSAT, and my math score was much lower than I hoped for. My friends who had already started tutoring had higher scores than me, and I realized I needed to improve if I wanted to get into the colleges on my list, like Georgia Tech, Princeton, and Boston College. Even though many of these schools are test-optional, academic advisors suggested submitting a good score could still be beneficial.
I’ve never been particularly strong in math, so when I saw my PSAT score, I knew I needed help. A family friend and some other acquaintances recommended this tutoring service, and after seeing their improvements, I decided to give it a try.
Initially, I was nervous about the virtual group learning environment and the long sessions. However, after the first session, I realized it was engaging and that the format would be manageable. Unlike boring online learning during the pandemic, the tutors at Peace of Pi kept us involved and constantly engaged.
Balancing the tutoring sessions with my swimming practice and other activities was challenging. I had to meticulously schedule my time, often doing homework on the way to practice or during breaks at school. It was a lot of work, but being dedicated to the process made it possible.
The practice tests were incredibly beneficial. They helped with time management and gave me a comprehensive understanding of the test format. The mock tests for both math and English were particularly helpful, as they prepared me for the actual test environment.
When I first started, my PSAT math score was 520. After working with the tutoring service, my SAT score improved to 720, a 200-point increase! This improvement has motivated me to keep pushing myself, knowing that with hard work, I can achieve even higher scores.
Overall, Peace of Pi has shown me that dedication and hard work pay off. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their scores. It’s not easy, but the results are worth the effort. If you’re serious about achieving your academic goals, Peace of Pi is the way to go.
