<p>He said he has gotten perfect scores on both the ACT and SAT</p>
<p>I love how this forum arose from the dead just so a parent could brag about his/her child.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes, that did seem to be sole purpose of the post. :)</p>
<p>In any case, this thread is relevant: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/act-preparation/974282-statistics-multiple-perfect-scores.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/act-preparation/974282-statistics-multiple-perfect-scores.html</a>.</p>
<p>popoagie, not to break your bubble of praise, but getting perfect scores on MATH IIC, AP CALC AB, and AP STATS is not that hard, even for homeschooled kids. All you have to do is buy prep books and study from there. School, at least terrible public schools like mine, doesn’t usually help. </p>
<p>P.S.
I got perfect scores on all three.</p>
<p>^^^I didn’t notice the necro lol.</p>
<p>Kill it with fire!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The frequency of students who score perfects on each does support your claim.</p>
<p>Settle down, you haters. If you can’t be happy for others, it makes you look bitter, arrogant or both. True scholars admire and support each others’ success, and that is from a teacher who has supported all kinds of success in other parents’ kids.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’m not sure whom you’re addressing because I didn’t see anyone “hating” based on others’ accomplishments.</p>
<p>By the way, my son is extremely humble and would never be rude to someone else’s parent. If you have to tear down someone else to feel alright about yourself, you will never be satisfied in life and you’ll leave a path of destruction behind you.</p>
<p>Some of the posters were very sarcastic and rude. I satated facts related to the topic, and some posters indulged in apparent mind reading about the intentions behind my posts. I have never encountered that among truly accomplished scholars and can only wonder about their own intentions. As a teacher, the form of education interests me as I know from decades of experience that it makes a huge difference, particularly on the ACT. The ACT and SAT are very different tests and do not overlap as much as many people assume.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I don’t see any especially rude posts. If anything, your post is the most offensive in the thread, containing seemingly unfounded accusations of arrogance, bitterness, and the posters’ being haters. I did not read anything that supports these claims.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>When a parent states very positive things about his or her child that do not answer the questions posed in the original post, suspicion of mere bragging naturally follows. This is especially predictable when that parent bumps a nearly four-year-old thread to do so.</p>
<p>I must say, Plano probably has the best students in the nation- first Jeff and now Amy Chyao.</p>
<p>“My son got perfect scores on the following on first try each: ACT, SAT, SAT II Math 2, AP Calc AB”</p>
<p>If your son is that smart, why didn’t he take BC instead and save time to move onto the more interesting stuff? I was at duke tip too by the way… their standard isn’t that high</p>
<p>^I don’t think the son is in the 12th grade yet, the standard time for Calc BC. His school probably would only let him skip Pre Calc if he took Calc AB instead of BC.</p>
<p>Or he got a 4 on the BC exam but a 5 AB subscore.</p>
<p>She said he was homeschooled. He can afford to take it early. I did.</p>
<p>haha…almost made a perfect score on the SAT. ACT, not so much. it’s so difficult being in plano high schools sometimes…:P</p>
<p>Believe me, perfect SAT and ACT scores are not as highly regarded as you might think. My friend scored a 2400 and 36 respectively and was rejected from the upper tier Ivies. </p>
<p>I scored perfects in a single sitting on both as well. I was deferred by Stanford EA, although I had not taken the SAT at the time. To be honest, an extra 2400 probably will not make any difference in my application.</p>
<p>For the question about why someone might take the SAT and ACT even though he/she might already have a perfect under their belt, I can attest only to my situation. I was reluctant to take the SAT, seeing as how I traditionally did not do too well in practice. Thus, I took the ACT very late during my junior year. After I became a National Merit Semi-Finalist, I found out I needed to take the SAT to confirm my score to earn scholarships. So therefore, I took the SAT as well and was pleasantly surprised with my score.</p>
<p>Also, I have score perfects on 4 SAT II and 9 APs. Still deferred from Stanford. My conclusion is that standardized tests are more of a way for colleges to get a baseline on your intellect. I think most people would agree with my opinion.</p>
<p>There’s my two cents…</p>
<p>Rise from the dead.</p>
<p>My bad. I didn’t see how old this thread was.</p>
<p>If you can score a 2400 on the SAT 2 times in a row or a 36 on the ACT two times in a row, or both perfect…don’t let anyone fool you…guaranteed ANYWHERE RESPECTABLE></p>
