Bellarmine College Preparatory • SAT · ACT · PSAT
The deliberate, structured approach that Bellarmine's academic culture develops maps well to Michael's program. The ACT changed in 2025. Science is now optional. Michael assesses both tests during the free trial.
The Jesuit tradition at Bellarmine is not just theological, it is intellectual. Magis, the Jesuit call to excellence, and cura personalis, care for the whole person, shape a student culture where hard work is expected and individual development is valued. Michael's program shares both of those values in its structure: the diagnostic is honest, the preparation is specific to each student, and the progress is tracked session by session.
The digital SAT's adaptive module structure rewards students who approach Module 1 strategically. Bellarmine students who understand how the SAT's module structure works, that Module 1 performance gates access to the harder Module 2 where top scores are built, have a real strategic advantage over students who do not. Michael explains this during the trial session.
The ACT changed in 2025. Science is now optional and does not count toward the composite score. The total testing time dropped to approximately two hours. For Bellarmine students who previously avoided the ACT because of Science, the current format is meaningfully different. Michael assesses both tests during the free trial and recommends based on actual diagnostic data.
Georgetown, the flagship Jesuit university, requires standardized test scores. Bellarmine students targeting Georgetown should understand that the median SAT score for admitted students runs approximately 1390 to 1560. Santa Clara University's middle 50% range is approximately 1310 to 1500. Michael builds preparation plans around specific schools and each student's actual diagnostic data, not generic score assumptions.
The Trial Session
The free trial on Zoom includes a diagnostic, direct work with Michael, and a follow-up call with both student and parent. Michael presents 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. No financial commitment until both sides agree.
Every Session
Sessions are two hours long and combine individualized coaching, structured practice, and timed work using official SAT and ACT material. Students stay actively engaged while receiving ongoing guidance and feedback from Michael throughout the session. No homework.
The Guarantee
Students who complete the agreed program and are not satisfied with their results continue at no additional cost after the agreed session cap until they are satisfied or available testing opportunities have been exhausted.
The Mr. Test Prep Method™ builds the execution strategies and pattern recognition that transfer directly to test conditions. A-Game Access™ is the mindfulness and peak performance system built into every session — addressing the gap between practice performance and test-day performance.
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.
Georgetown's middle 50% SAT range is approximately 1390 to 1560. Bellarmine students targeting Georgetown typically work toward the upper half of that range.
The trial is a two-hour Zoom session where your student works through a diagnostic with guidance and feedback from Michael throughout. Afterward Michael calls both student and parent with 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.
The trial is free with no obligation to continue.
