Sophia Viera
+140 in Math
“The results speak for themselves; my SAT score increased from 530 to 670. Usually I excel more in reading, but with PoP, my math score even surpassed my reading score! “
Read MoreMy name is Sophia Vieira, and I attend Florida Christian School as a senior. My SAT score had not been getting any better, and I struggled with self-motivation and accountability. What really intrigued me at first about Peace of Pi’s method was that they insisted on texting students daily to keep them motivated to complete their assignments.
I learned about Peace of Pi Learning through recommendations on social media and from friends. I had taken the SAT a couple of times and attempted self-study for a week, but my scores weren’t improving. I had the realization in my senior year, right before the summer ended, that I needed to get my act together for college applications, especially when I saw the high score requirements for the colleges I was interested in, like UF. At that time, my score was only 1150, and I was determined to stand out.
Initially, I considered in person tutoring, thinking it would offer more personalized attention. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the group setting of this program. We were all able to hold each other accountable, which is what I really needed.
To succeed in this program, discipline and dedication are key. I committed to at least an hour of daily practice. Going back to questions I got wrong was my strategy and made a significant difference in my improvement.
The daily text reminders were incredibly helpful, providing motivation and a sense of support. The online environment, although intimidating at first, turned out to be surprisingly beneficial. Being called out for mistakes forced me to pay attention and learn effectively. This program offered both internal and external accountability.
The results speak for themselves: my SAT score increased from 530 to 670. Usually I excel more in reading, but with POP, my SAT Math score even surpassed my reading scores! This program not only helped me get my dream college, UF, but it also validated my belief in my ability to excel in standardized tests.
I’m immensely grateful for this achievement. If I were to give advice to others, I’d encourage them to join this program and be ready to put in the work. Despite initial concerns about the commitment, it’s all worth it when you consider your future!
