12 yr old scored 1170 on SAT

<p>My son took it just because many his friends did earlier that year. He did not have any prep except did one full sample test from SAT prep books. His score was high enough to be one of 26 kids nationwide who scored over 700 in both Math and CR. However, he has not participated any of the CTY programs because I don’t think those programs are better than other summer programs. </p>

<p>We don’t feel any pressure at all even though competitions are very high among kids. My son is very relaxed in school and we don’t push him more than reminding him about homework daily.</p>
