Kansas? It's a good thing they don't test for science.

Congrats, kid. Oh, and too bad about never getting laid.

Yes, because when you make as much money as he has the potential to do, it's really hard to find some quality trim.

I hope he decides to pursue his degree at a far better school than some no-name Catholic college. Pretty much any college will take him now, and pay him to go there.

I got a 1590.

I then went looking for a job, 5 interviews, the first question of every interview was:

"What one did you get wrong?"

Good for him.
 
2006-08-17 10:31:13 PM
Pfft I bet he cheated
 
2006-08-17 10:31:48 PM
I guess I'm not well informed on what constitutes a "sick" title.

The only sick thing about this is the money he's going to make and the women he's going to have falling over themselves to get him.

Lucky bastard.

Isn't it pretty easy to get a perfect SAT score these days? A perfect scaled score, I mean. I would imagine that a perfect raw score is just as difficult today as it's ever been.

Back in my school days, one of my best friends got a perfect score -- when that actually meant something (before the recentering and such).

Did you not go to college? What kind of job asks you for your SAT?

He took the ACT three times and studied for the SAT? What a farking tool. I got a 32 on my first and only try and I didn't study at all. So his accomplishment is no big deal.

/good use of the sick tag, tho
 
2006-08-17 10:34:35 PM
Kudos to him.

Geek is the new cool.
 
2006-08-17 10:35:00 PM
He did score perfectly on his SAT, very good. However, it took several tries for him to get a perfect score on his ACT. The first time he took it he got a 32, which some would compare to a 1400-1450 on the older SAT IIRC.

Great job, but the kid is not a messiah. Give a smart person 3 or 4 cracks at a test and maybe they could hit a perfect score, or get pretty damn close.
 
2006-08-17 10:35:42 PM
He figured out the answer key, he cracked the ACT and SAT codes.
 
2006-08-17 10:36:16 PM
I'm sure that if this kid is as smart as the tests say he is, he will have no trouble finding some way to get the bimbos out of their pants. Where he will probably have trouble is finding a girl that will be able to hold his attention after they're done rutting.

Potential, yes. Too bad most all kids who get perfect standardized testing scores never do anything that amounts to a large amount of money. Most become teachers or some form of low-paying, dogooder job...where you never get laid.
 
2006-08-17 10:37:45 PM
How is this news/Farkworthy? The admissions office at Harvard made it clear to me that they could fill their entire incoming class every year with students who get perfect scores. I had two kids in my class w/ perfect scores (at least on the SAT, not so sure about ACT). Its not all that uncommon.
 
2006-08-17 10:38:06 PM
No evolution questions? Or maybe he got them all right along with intelligent design questions.
 
2006-08-17 10:38:06 PM
and I'd like to dispel the notion that people that test well (IQ) are good at landing babes (EQ) and are destined to many the bucks (drive/greed/focus).
 
2006-08-17 10:38:11 PM
Not really impressive or terribly difficult to do. Might be rare since people with perfect SAT's dont take the ACT often.

Standardized tests are a good measure of one's ability to take standardized tests.

Just so you know, a study conducted by Thomas J. Stanley showed that the average SAT score of a millionaire is between 1100 and 1190.

I agree, I scored quite well on my ACT, which I only took once...and now I am a teacher.

That kid looks exactly like his brother. Hopefully he has more people skills.

Teachers don't get laid? You obviously don't read too many Fark articles.

Hey BillSPreston- you don't just happen to be a retired pharmacist, do you?

It's unlikely, I'm sure, but you've got the same name as someone who retired not long before I was hired.
 
2006-08-17 10:42:47 PM
BillSPreston Its not all that uncommon.

So by that reasoning, 300 out of 1.5 million is not common. Do tell me about some common places where I can mine for diamonds, dig for oil and find buried treasure. That stuff must be everywhere!

We knew he wasn't a product of the public school system didn't we.

2006-08-17 10:44:58 PM
He looks like a nice kid. Hope he does well for himself.

And he probably could get himself laid. Females of this species looking to maximize the intelligence of their offspring would choose to mate with him. He probably just needs to get over his catholic hang ups (which I assume he has after seeing the above picture) so he can become a studman.
