Perfect SSAT, SAT scores and whatnot....

<p>Ever since I have gone on this forum, I have noticed a pattern.
No, even better...... a uniformness of you kids or if you are a parent your children, of near perfect or perfect scorage on every test you take, that's if its the truth.
I am not too shabby when it comes to this sort, but undoubtedly there have been times where I just flopped.
Well now, it would just be grand if you all out there who match my little description would be as kind to share your secret, if there is such a thing, to obtain such magnificent scores.
So....what goes on through your mind during your sitting?
It would just delight me and other fellow peers who have had this topic pass through their mind before. Any tips or philosophy out there?
No, this is not a question for you to question my question, but mere curiosity to see what goes on inside the mind of a child prodigy, as some of you have put it.
Thanks A Lot</p>

<p>I think that kids who do obtain high scores tend to gravitate to boards like this (and also if you do get a perfect score, you are quite proud and want to share....?brag....a bit) which is why there is such an abundance of "perfect" people here.
My kids....no way did they ace any of those tests. My oldest managed a mid-700 in math and my daughter aced her essay (12/12). No big deal to us. As long as they do decently and have strong grades and EC's, that is fine. A score alone does not get you into a school.</p>
