SAT Prep
The SAT is now fully digital and section-adaptive. The format rewards students who execute cleanly under pressure — and punishes those who don’t. The Mr. Test Prep Method™ and A-Game Access™ are built for exactly those demands.

Every Mr. Test Prep program is built the same way: Michael coaching each student in real time, with timed practice on official SAT, ACT and PSAT material, often alongside other students.

The ACT changed significantly in 2025. Science is now optional. Testing time dropped. The test is now available in paper and digital formats. Mr. Test Prep’s program reflects the current test — the Enhanced ACT — not the old one.
The October PSAT happens once. There is no retake. In California — one of the highest-cutoff states in the country — preparation needs to start earlier than most families expect.

“In the first half hour of the trial session, Michael told me I was probably better suited for the ACT. He was right — I scored significantly higher. He also helped me prepare for the PSAT, and I became a National Merit Scholar. I definitely could not have done it without him.”

“Mr. Romano is more than a tutor — he is a mentor, and a pretty incredible one at that.”

It was a divine appointment that we found Mr. Test Prep. My son had already sat for the SAT in his 10th grade, and had a decent 1550 score, but we wanted to see if he could improve it.
Mr. Test Prep’s approach and clear value proposition really stood out to me in the sea of the multitude of tutors and SAT prep services. We gave it a try, our son Ethan loved Michael’s style, and format, and it was a good fit for our family’s needs all around. Ethan sat for the SAT again in a few months of working with Michael, and his score was perfect. Of course, everyone’s mileage may vary. For us, it was a match made in heaven 🙂 Thanks, Michael— Parent Review, Pacifica, CA
“What I have seen confident and motivated teenagers accomplish has convinced me of their great potential. This conviction is perhaps my greatest asset as a mentor, a coach, an educator, and a friend.”
