My name is Natalie and I discovered Peace of Pi at the end of my junior year. The SAT was super important for me. So, I always knew that the SAT was the fighting chance that I would get to be able to apply to top 20 or top 30 schools.

Thankfully with the help of POP, I was able to apply to good schools because I have such a high SAT score with good essays and good extracurriculars,  I have a shot at getting in. I ended up getting a 1470 total. 450 to 760. A 310-point improvement. Now, I’m doing IB math and it’s mixed in math. It’s mixing calculus, mixing stats. I don’t even study for my quizzes because half of the stuff on there is literally stuff that POP taught me.

I did the course twice. The first time I did it, I went up 200 points. I knew that with a 650 out of 800 in the math, there was much room for improvement. So, I decided to do POP again. In the beginning, I had a huge plateau, I wasn’t improving. If this helps others, I do want to say that if you take enough practice tests, you will go up. And I promise, I took so many practice tests. I cannot explain how many practice tests I took, but, it obviously paid off.

 I took the summer course and there’s so much free time and it keeps you kind of engaged. During the summer, my brain kind of just dies out a bit because we’re not in school, but since you’re not in school, I saw math in a fun way. You’re getting some learning in. It’s helping you for later and it’s just two hours of your day. With POP, every penny is well spent. They’re so hardworking and all motivated me to do what I did.

I would tell future students to do their work. Do your work, do your homework, and do your practice tests. Try to try to enjoy them. You have to want to improve. That’s what’s going to make you want to sit down and practice. And it’s kind of fun. You see with your friends who’s doing better. You don’t have to look at it as a competition, but it’s just to see how much you can improve. Every time you sit down and take one, think ‘How much can I improve from my last one?’ It was something I looked forward to. 

Make sure to not miss class and get behind. That’s a big one. Every lecture that I did with POP was helpful. If you’re missing class, I promise you, you don’t know what’s going to be on the test. There are so many topics and POP covers every single thing that they potentially ask you. So if you miss one class, you can miss two questions on the next SAT. 

I enjoyed every lecture. It was a family within the class. I loved it. Being virtual was, I think, the best part of it. One of the tutorings I did before was in person and, honestly,  the hassle of getting up and going is not enjoyable. Having POP from right at home is so convenient. I think it’s better honestly. 

Peace of Pi caters to everyone, if you’re bad at math, there’s someone for you. If you’re good at math, there’s someone for you. Even take it twice. If you can, please do Peace of Pi twice. It refreshes everything. You remember everything better. It’s honestly the formula to get whatever score you want.
