Sequoia High School • SAT · ACT · PSAT
Sequoia High School's student body includes first-generation college applicants alongside students from families with deep university ties. For students navigating college admissions without a family map, the SAT and ACT can feel like requirements with unclear stakes and unclear strategies. Michael's program demystifies both.
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.
For Sequoia students aiming for the UC system, test scores matter for merit scholarship consideration and for post-admission course placement. For students aiming for CSU schools with honors programs, particularly Cal Poly SLO and SDSU, a strong test score can affect admissions to competitive majors. Michael's trial session includes a conversation about the college list and what role testing plays at each specific school on that list.
The ACT's 2025 format. Science now optional, composite from four sections, total testing time approximately two hours, is a meaningfully different test than it was before. Sequoia students who took a diagnostic under the old format, or who avoided the ACT because of Science, should reassess. Michael evaluates both tests during the free trial and makes a specific recommendation for each student.

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.
Sessions are $400 per two-hour session with no required package. After the free trial, Michael provides a recommended training plan so families understand the total investment before committing. The score satisfaction guarantee means students who complete the agreed program are not left without support.
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.
