Davis High School student receives a perfect score on the SAT exam

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 offer my prayers and condolences to every child whose parents showed them this.

Son: perfect score on sat
Indian Dad: Starts with a complaint of him not getting up early.
Understandable🙂

[EnnuiOn]

That dad is so peak Indian dad energy😭. "Yes you achieved the perfect score, but you still could have done better"

[islamicstudycorner]

His dad: “He definitely was not giving enough time for the SAT”
Reporter: “His parents say that they are so proud of their son”

[kays]

I love that reaction.
“They ask us what the author was trying to convey in this passage. Well idk?!”
I FELT THIS

Dude didn't even care much to study and still got a perfect score, he's a natural genius

[lilxtasy]

indian parents: YOU WERE 0 AWAY FROM ACHIEVING THE PERFECT SCORE

What every parent wants their child on the news for 😂

[Sognametall]

That's the eyes of someone who is mentally drained, dude lives in constant pressure for perfection.

[Dip..]

IDK if you guys noticed it or not, he did take a SAT before, scoring 1550, which is also 99th percentile. I bet it's his indian parents who made him believe in perfectionism in study. And they didn't seem happy about him.!

[AstonishingStudios]

Holy smokes his Dad was so critical throughout the whole thing 😂

[ravs]

Typical Indian parents, still mad at him for not getting up early 🤣🤣

"His brother is failing the competition"
The brother: *attends Harvard*

[allainangcao]

This is a once in a lifetime achievement, one that he will probably never repeat. There is no need for him to do it again, we all know trying to achieve top marks is hard enough but when you are constantly pressured to do so, it is definitely mentally taxing.

I got a perfect score when I took the SAT: Every question wrong. TV news crews never came knocking at my door asking how I did it. ;)

I just graduated from Davis Senior High School last year. I’ve talked to Apurva before, specifically in Chemistry honors class. Not only is he intelligent, but he’s also nice to everyone. Keep it up dude! 🤪

[yvngxmitch]

I salute him for being able to get home without a “ you should’ve studied longer “ from his parents.

[snflwrbrain]

Software engineering intern while high school student is enough for me to get convinced.
