How many people go perfect with CollegeBoard?

Test Preparation

<p>About how many people each year ace every AP, SAT, and Subject Test they take?</p>

<p>If you want to look at all of CollegeBoard, also throw the PSAT in there. If one were to get a 2400, it’s likely he or she would work hard enough to make perfect scores on every AP exam (and have the teachers/resources to do so). As for the SAT Subject Tests and PSAT, though, I’d say very few (if any) maintain their perfection. You have to note that a few 2400 students take more Subject Tests than most and are consequently more likely to slip below 800, and very few people make perfect scores on the PSAT.</p>

<p>I don’t think getting 800s on subject tests or 5s on APs is nearly as impressive as a 2400 SAT. Also, I agree with SkeezeyJ that there are really smart kids out there who take a ton of tests and are bound to get a 780 eventually, but it’s way more impressive than taking one subject test and 3 APs and getting perfect scores on them. I know I’ve gotten no perfect scores except ACT Science, but I’m pretty close on everything (780s on all three SAT sections, 35 ACT, 9 5s and 3 4s on APs, and 780, 770, 720, 710, 710 subject tests). I think that’s much better than a 36 composite ACT, a few 700s on subject tests, and 2 5s and a 4 on APs.
I also think that the SAT is one of the ones that you can only work so hard for. I’m a strong believer in not studying for it, seeing as it’s supposed to measure aptitude, not resources and focus. While studying can boost your score greatly, I think the only kids who get 2400s are the ones who are real geniuses. On APs and subject tests, however, I think studying can get you a perfect score even if you’re not the best at that topic.</p>

<p>I have to agree with ameliab12. Most of the students I know who scored 2400 are already geniuses and never had to study for the test.</p>

<p>But still, I don’t think a 2400 SAT is really that impressive in terms of college applications. Out of the 2400’s I know, most have gone to prestigious math/science competitions like the USAMO, IMO, and Intel STS.</p>

<p>I was 1 test away from going perfect with college board…</p>

<p>So far I’m at a 2400, 2 800 subject tests and 11 5’s BUT 1 4 on AP Chemistry… :frowning:
Still another year to go of high school though</p>
