Thirty years of students, and the thing they remember isn’t the score.

“I started at around a 1510. My time management wasn’t the best — I usually didn’t finish the second math section — and I struggled with vocabulary and making educated guesses. Michael’s strategy for that section helped, and being in a proctored environment almost forced me to take the practice tests. Reviewing every question I got wrong, multiple times and out loud, was the other thing that stuck. I ended up at a 1590.”

“My SAT scores were quite low. These low scores gave me very little confidence in my ability to improve. There would be weekly meditations that helped relieve my anxiety and stress, allowing me to perform at my highest level. By the time I took my first test, I had improved by over 400 points.”

“Michael was amazingly responsive, accommodated my daughter’s schedule and worked very effectively with her to raise her ACT score from a 32 to a PERFECT 36 in just 5 weeks! He was able to give her both the skills and the confidence necessary to perform spectacularly.”

“After a diagnostic test in my trial session with Michael, I was surprised to find that he wanted me to switch over to the ACT. A great decision. With only a couple of sessions, I managed to score a perfect 36.”

“After just two sessions, my son took the ACT for the first time, scoring a composite of 32. The second time he scored a 35. He said he knew exactly what he needed to do to succeed. The numbers don’t lie.”

“My first experience with SAT prep was with a not-so-great company, so I was at first reluctant to try Mr. Test Prep. Boy, was I wrong. In the first half hour of the trial session he told me that I was probably better suited for the ACT. I tried my hand at that instead, and scored significantly higher. He also helped me prepare for the PSAT, and now I am a National Merit Scholar.”

“My favorite thing he taught me was how to meditate. The habit was crucial to my success because it allowed me to stay focused and be confident. It went such a long way for me that I ended up writing about it for my Common App college essay.”

“I started at a 30 and ended up with a 35 superscore. Coming in, I had my own expectations about what we’d be doing — I didn’t expect the meditation. Doing it before each practice exam made the actual test feel manageable, like just another practice run.”

“I still do his meditations today before a big event or test. They have assisted me greatly in becoming more centered, and have me diving into any task headfirst with steady hands and tranquility.”

“In the very beginning, I was unsure of how beneficial meditation could be. But with each one, I grew to understand how great it is on your mindset. Not only did he teach us what we needed for the SATs, but lessons that carry over into our careers and future.”

“Under his guidance I was able to see a drastic improvement with not only my ACT — my 32 became a 35 — but also my attitude towards learning and the future. As someone who struggles with anxiety, and who especially dreaded these lengthy tests, I was extremely grateful.”

“Even today, five years removed from my last tutoring session, Michael’s fundamental strategies help me conquer midterms and finals each year. Sitting where I am now, job in hand and degree just months away, I am very thankful to have had Michael’s influence in my life.”
