My Journey with Mission 1400+ 1. The Starting Point & The Reality of Burnout Before starting, I took an SAT and scored a 990. The main reason for my low score and overall burnout was that I was—and still am—managing an entire waste management business. Juggling a company while prepping for a high-stakes exam was exhausting. When I signed up for Mission 1400+, I’ll be honest: for the first 12 days, I barely studied or didn't study at all. I felt down and was second-guessing my decision to retake the test. 2. Flipping the Switch with the Roadmap Once I actually dove into the roadmap, everything shifted. Instead of adding to my stress, studying became a way to burn off steam after work. The structure and organization made all the difference. Before Mission 1400+, I was confused about SAT question patterns and what steps to take next. The course completely fixed that, sharpening both my question recognition and my time discipline. My total study time was bare minimum—maybe an hour a day, sometimes just 30 minutes, and some days nothing at all due to my work schedule. 3. The August Result & Aniko On the August SAT, I scored an 1100—an exact 110-point jump from my 990. What are the chances? I NEEDED EXACTLY 1100 FOR MY HONOR DIPLOMA AHHHHHHHH! (too close) Holy Aniko is just insanely goated—I can’t emphasize enough how incredible it was for my prep. 4. The Instructors & The Community John’s explanations are straight-up sensational. I expected him to be way too busy to give individual focus, but he pays so much attention to his students. Shoutout to Madeleine and the rest of the community! The group is super active, wholesome, welcoming, and always ready to help. 5. Final Thoughts Even though the SAT wasn't my top priority in life, Mission 1400+ made the experience genuinely enjoyable. If someone actually puts in full time and effort, their score increase would be insane. I did the bare minimum while running a business and still hit my goal. I’ve never taken another course to compare it to, but I’m 100% glad I picked this one. I’m actually looking forward to doing it again for fun when my work schedule calms down and I can really give it my all!
