+210 points on the SAT Math!

“I had moments where I wasn’t seeing the progress I wanted, but with consistent practice, it all added up.”

I decided to join Peace of Pi’s math tutoring over the summer after my PSAT score in sophomore year came back with a 520 in math. I knew I needed to get it up to be competitive for the colleges I want to apply to. Math has always been my strong suit, but I realized I needed an extra push—especially to get familiar with SAT-style questions and refresh some key concepts. 

Before tutoring, the wording of SAT questions really threw me off. They’re written in such a tricky way that I would get super confused, even if I knew the math behind it. When I joined, I thought I might get distracted with it being virtual, but that wasn’t the case at all. The tutors keep you fully engaged by handing out work, solving problems, and interacting with you the whole time. It keeps you focused on learning instead of getting distracted. I actually loved the group setting because you get to hear other people’s questions and problem-solving approaches, which sometimes end up being more effective for you. 

To anyone considering this program, I would say it’s absolutely worth it, but you have to put in the work. That means doing all the homework and practice tests. The practice tests especially helped me build confidence and see how much I was improving. My final score was a 730, so I ended up improving +210 points in math, which was so exciting! 

Doing the course over the summer was the best choice I could’ve made because now, as a junior, I have so much less stress knowing that I already have a solid score. My advice to other students is to just trust the process. I had moments where I wasn’t seeing the progress I wanted, but with consistent practice, it all added up. The improvement you make will depend on the effort you’re willing to put in, but it’s so worth it in the end!
