SAT, ACT, and PSAT Tutoring for Archbishop Mitty High School Students

Michael Romano — Mr. Test Prep, SAT ACT PSAT Tutor for Archbishop Mitty High School

Archbishop Mitty High School in San Jose is one of the Bay Area's most academically rigorous Catholic co-educational schools. Sponsored by the Diocese of San Jose, Mitty has built a reputation for combining genuine academic challenge with the Catholic tradition of developing students who are prepared to lead in their communities. The school's college placement record. UC campuses, Santa Clara University, Notre Dame, Loyola Marymount, and selective private universities, reflects a student body that takes both academic and personal development seriously.

The universities Mitty students frequently target are schools with active testing requirements. Notre Dame and Georgetown require standardized test scores. The UC system requires scores for merit scholarship consideration.

Michael's program, one instructor, no homework, score guarantee, the Mr. Test Prep Method™, and A-Game Access™, addresses both the strategic and performance management dimensions of test preparation for Mitty students. The diagnostic during the free trial assesses both the digital SAT and the updated 2025 ACT.

The diagnostic produces a specific recommendation: which test gives the student the best opportunity, how far their score may be able to go, a recommended training plan, and which upcoming test dates are most strategic.

How Michael Serves Archbishop Mitty Students

Archbishop Mitty's rigorous academic program across theology, sciences, and humanities produces students who arrive at test prep with genuine content preparation. What the test adds is a timed execution layer and a performance management challenge that classroom preparation does not specifically address.

The digital SAT's adaptive module structure requires understanding how the test is built, not just how to answer individual questions. Mitty students who understand that Module 1 performance determines Module 2 difficulty, and who pace themselves to perform cleanly in Module 1, access the question range where 1400 and 1500 scores are built. Students who do not understand this structure may underperform relative to their capability.

The ACT at two hours, with Science now optional, is worth evaluating for every Mitty student. Michael assesses both tests during the free trial. The recommendation is based on each student's actual diagnostic performance, not on school-level assumptions about which test Mitty students should take.

The Mr. Test Prep Method™ and A-Game Access™ support the confident, mission-grounded performance that Mitty's Catholic tradition cultivates in students in other contexts. The specific application, standardized test performance under timed, anonymous conditions, is a context that A-Game Access™ is built to address. Mitty students who have experienced the gap between their practice scores and their real test scores benefit specifically from this component.

Sessions are $400 per two-hour session, pay-as-you-go. The score satisfaction guarantee means students who complete the agreed program continue at no additional cost after the agreed session cap until they are satisfied or available testing opportunities have been exhausted. The free trial produces a specific plan before any commitment is required.

Preparation Timelines

Common Starting Points

  • January, sophomore year — particularly for students with National Merit goals.
  • Summer before junior year — the period after July 4th is a common starting point for junior-year test dates.
  • Summer before senior year — depending on goals and testing plans.

What the Trial Session Produces

Preparation timelines vary based on a student’s goals, starting point, and target test dates.

Michael’s free trial session includes a diagnostic and personalized timeline recommendation based on each student’s individual situation — not a generic template.

The diagnostic produces a specific recommendation: which test gives the student the best opportunity, how far their score may be able to go, a recommended training plan, and which upcoming test dates are most strategic.
