As you think beyond the walls of your current high school life, and you begin to prepare for the SAT, apply to colleges, write those essays–do you feel like something inside you is dying?

• Are you crumbling under the pressure of performance?
• Do you feel depressed, unconfident, and worthless?
• Does the SAT©, or any other test for that matter, strike fear and anxiety into your bones?

Most high school students in modern American culture find themselves striving for higher and higher standards of performance–amazing grades, high SAT scores, admission to the colleges of legend. Meanwhile, they feel like they are crumbling under the pressure and like they’d just like to have some peace, rest, and confidence.

Is that you?

Welcome to More Than Standard, where Matt Hallock draws on his 10+ years of experience mentoring high school students into conquering the SAT© in order to show you a better way. The truth is, you are worth way more than any score or number of measurements.

It’s time for you to abandon your current way of thinking and living that is draining your life, and to embrace the ancient and yet brand new gospel of Jesus.

You don’t have to suffer under test anxiety, under feelings of worthlessness and depression, under lack of drive and confidence. You can live as a Conqueror, as a valued and honored child of God. And you absolutely can conquer the SAT© in the process.

More Than Standard is more than a simple SAT© prep book. It’s an SAT© prep book that’s geared for complete life transformation.

Or, maybe it’s a gospel-of-Jesus book about how he can pull you up and out of the mundane, depressing, ordinary, pressure-filled, rat race, performance-driven, victim mentality that poisons most high schoolers–and how he will free you to be: 

• powerful 
• confident 
• joyful and happy 
• connected with your mission 
• unshakeable by any storm of life
• a master of the SAT© test
• a Conqueror

In addition to experiencing the power of Jesus to do miracles in your life and to propel you into overcoming anything thrown your way, you’ll also discover seven crucial and fundamental principles for conquering the SAT© test and being able to attack it head on rather than be overwhelmed by anxiety.

• How to think for yourself…for real
• Why you should NOT be a good student if you want to do well on the test
• Embrace the fact that you’re David up against Goliath
• How to prepare for the test like a boss
• and even a few more :)
