Check this kid out.
MECHANICSBURG, Pa. (Jan. 7) - A 13-year-old Pennsylvania boy has scored a perfect 16-hundred on the S-A-T.
The standardized test is usually given to college-bound high school seniors. Lee Kennedy-Shaffer is only an eighth-grader.
He took the test in December as part of a program for gifted children at Mechanicsburg Middle School. He says he was "pretty surprised and happy" with his score.
He's not the first in his family to get a perfect score, but he's the youngest.
In June 2003 his brother Ross scored 16-hundred on the S-A-T as a high school junior. The oldest brother, Alan, had 15-hundred-20 on the exam.
Their mother is a high school math teacher and their father is a history professor -- and the boys say doing well is expected of them.

YA..................Just skip over being a kid!....it's over rated anyway!
GOOD LUCK TO THEM! I bet the parents are proud ,and they should be!
BUT! I cant help but wonder what kind of adult('s) these kid's may become?
For me,I will gladly trade a few points on my score for a more well rounded
individual.I for one see a great deal of value in skinned knees and little bumps and bruise's that kid get from playing outside.Not tired thumbs from VIDEO GAMES! But that's just me :D

I always heard you get 400 just for correctly writing your name!
I'm calling BS on this story! The older brother obviously gave this 13 y.o. the answers!!!! :D :D

Too bad we can't fast forward about 20 years to see what he has done with it and where it took him in his career !!
