I’m Sofia Posada, a 12th grader at Doral Academy, and I want to share my experience with Peace of Pi Tutoring. Before joining, I had taken the SAT twice without achieving the score I needed for Bright Futures.

I took my first SAT without studying and then for the second one I tried to study by myself, but it wasn’t working. I knew that I needed some outside help. I just wasn’t really focused. I couldn’t put the discipline into studying by myself and commit to a study routine. I would always leave it to the last minute. 

I excelled in math but faced challenges with Algebra 2 and online learning during COVID. But I was aiming for the Bright Futures scholarship, which required a high score.I hadn’t decided on a college yet but wanted a score that would allow me to keep my options open. 

I knew I had a better chance at improving my composite score through math rather than reading, so that was my main focus. Peace of Pi was recommended by a friend who had a crazy score improvement. It had really worked for her, so I figured it would work for me too. And I was right! 

I really loved the program overall. The course provided lots of material and resources to make me feel prepared, like the practice tests and feedback from tutors. What was most helpful was when we would do the practice tests, we would fill out a Google form, and it would automatically tell you which ones you got wrong and which ones you got right. I also really liked how, if I had a question on the homework, there was a video explaining every single question. 

Other students sould be prepared for the course workload, because it is a lot. Everything that they give is shown on the test. If you skip something, you’re probably going to skip, or miss one or two questions, but ultimately that’s the one or two questions that will make a difference in your score from 1320 to a 1330. All you need is one question. You might miss that 10 points you need.

The virtual tutoring aspect exceeded my expectations. Honestly, I thought it was going to be more unbearable. It offered a friendly and supportive atmosphere. Students were helpful, and we shared a common goal. At the end of the day it’s a group of people that are all in there for the same thing, on the same mission. 

I improved my score from 610 to 770, securing admission to FIU. To fellow students, don’t give up on your SAT prep journey; the effort is rewarding, and a higher score can save you money.
