For the August SAT, I got a 1500 (710RW, 790 Math) and was kinda bummed because that meant I had to retake it again on October. But, I found out that two of my friends got 1550s (one got 750 RW 800 Math and another got 760 RW and 790 Math) and they were telling each other like "you got 50 points off English, you should deport yourself" and "you got 10 points off Math."
Another thing that kinda bums me out is that they studied for a day before, as in did a practice test and went straight into the exam. And we go to the same school, took the same math and English classes, and got all As together. I personally prepared for about 10 months now and took 3 tests, and my best is a 1500.
I understand they are just innate geniuses since one is on the honors list for USNCO and another qualified for USAPhO and AIME qualed like 2 or 3 times (I tried for USACO and AMC 8 once but gave up), but I still don't understand how they can perform so well on reading comprehension without proper strategies or anything.
