I don't really see what the big deal about getting 800 on the math SAT is.
There weren't more than 60 questions or so, and the level of difficulty is
not at all high, particularly if your high school has an advanced mathematics
course series.  These tests are pretty poor indications of the relative
quality of students above a certain point.  Yes, I got an 800, but I don't
see what's so hot about it.  Dependent on how they felt at the time, at
least 20 or 30 people in my high school class should have been capable of
doing that, barring stupid mistakes.
