  • A Davis Senior High School student received a perfect score on his SAT exam. Apurva Mishra's father called KCRA 3 when the results arrived, ecstatic that his son scored a 1600 score, placing him in the 99th percentile in the nation among test-takers. He also got every single question correct. The College Board, which administers the exam, told KCRA 3 only "a fraction of a percent" of test takers earn a perfect score. "It was a really surprising thing for me because I didn't know I would be able to perform like that," 17-year-old Mishra said. "I wanted to get there and I did get there, and that was the most amazing thing to me."

      I’m just gonna say this for anyone that actually takes this seriously. The father said he didn’t approve of his technique but he was probably very proud of the grade he got. Also later on he mentions that you can guide your kids but you should give them love and trust. So, he probably disapproved of the way he was studying but trusted that his son would do his best and do well.

      @@wittypal2608 If you think Indian Parents have given up on their strict upbringing, I suggest you visit more households in India because I, being an Indian, have faced and still face a lot of parental pressure to be perfect in all fields of life ranging from being a perfect student, a perfect personality, a perfect visionary and so on. Generally, a perfect human being which is not possible. I'm not saying that this is the case for ALL the Indian teenagers because not every parent would put too much pressure on their offsprings but it is definitely the case for most Indian households where parents except perfection from their children. Being proud is a different case. First, parents demotivate us by saying we can't be successful in doing this and that and second, when the child actually succeeds in cracking an exam or an interview or accomplishing any noticeable achievement, they come and tell them that they are proud of him/her and had faith in them from the beginning when they were actually demoralizing them in the first place. I guess this is a tactic that they use to mentally empower their wards to give their 100% in everything. Again, not saying that this is the case for all Indians.

      I felt that it would have been too on the nose if his father straight up admitted that his son got an almost unbelievably good score despite his disapproval of the discipline and prep-technique. He clearly loves and respects his son. I won't bring race into it but I agree with the other commenter that this is a case of too thin skin on your part, saying that the father is emotionally and psychologically beating his son down. I wouldn't normally say this next part because a perfect score truly is commendable and this goes without saying, but in light of your comment - SAT score is far from everything and even the smartest and most disciplined people meet a rude awakening when they get to university. There's no need to get complacent.

      @@iHasaComputer Funny you say that because u just answered one question of mine talking about debt. People who go to college are spending tens of thousands of dollars not knowing what they want to do in life. And also not having any type of financial advice. Plus, most of the things we learn in school are completely useless and will be never be used in the real world. And people u mentioned making only fans aren't even educated in the first place. They are just delusional people who find easy ways to make money. Its honestly a sick world we live in. Another thing is standardize tests. If there was a person who fails a test or a class, he/she would feel useless which would defeat the purpose of someone's dream. And I'm not saying that school should be banned. All I'm saying is that we should fix our education system so that everyone feels comfortable going to school instead of stressing about an assignment that's due in one day. And I hate when people say, "well that's the way life is." And to that I say, "no, that's not the way life is. We can definitely figure out a way to change the education system and make school a better place for everyone."

    The man was failing out of high school and struggled growing up. He was raised by a single mom in the Midwest. He promised his mother he’d take the SAT test. He didn’t expect to get a good score.
    His score came back. He got a 1480 out of 1600 on the SAT. His mother, knowing her kid, asks, “Did you cheat?” He swore to her he didn’t cheat. In his senior year he realizes he’s smart and decides to attend classes. He stops hanging out with his old crowd. The teachers and kids seemed to notice. They started treating him differently.
    He graduates, attends community college, goes on to Wichita State, and eventually to an Ivy League. He goes on to become a successful magazine entrepreneur.
    You think, he’s smart. He just needed the standardized test to unlock his potential. No. This isn’t the story. What comes next is the important part.
    12 years later the man gets a letter in the mail from Princeton, New Jersey. He doesn’t think anything about it. The next day his wife asks him if he’s going to open the letter.
    He opens it. It turns out the SAT board periodically reviews their test taking procedures and policies. He was one of 13 people sent the wrong SAT score. His actual score was 740.
    People say his whole life changed when he got the 1480. What really happened is his behavior changed. He started acting like a person with a 1480 and started doing what someone with a score like that does.

I guess the family is really competitive about it, but I doubt that's considered abusive or harmful. He's going to be more successful than most people after he chooses his career path. I plan on being in school until I die, even after I retire. But I don't care about grades or some sort of prestige, I just constantly want to learn all the things about all the things. Grading just shows your retention levels and creates a benchmark. If everyone had perfect memory they'd probably all get close to perfect grades all the time.

    This is more than just how smart he is, but also his amazing focus. I've been teaching english since i was in highschool, now 24, but i STILL can't get a perfect score on my college exams, because i keep losing focus. It's so darn annoying when you KNOW the correct answer but got it wrong either because you're tired or simply lost focus in the moment. I mean, yes, i still got As but it could've been perfect y'know?

So dont push those jobs low just because you think they are disgusting, and going back to that comment you replied to, yes, they do force them, I've had many friends that have been pushed by their parents. Theres a difference between pushing them into getting good grades (which all parents do) or outright forcing them, telling them that a B isnt enough, and making them do extra credit work all while taking away anything that can be distracting. The second option most tiger parents do, which Indians and asian people mostly have in their culture.
