Are you guys insane? Why on earth would you take the SAT or ACT in the 7th Grade? No wonder you guys have good scores, you spent half of your life preparing and taking the test OVER AND OVER again. I say its ridiculous to take an official test before the 10th grade. Anyone can get perfect scores if you started taking the test since the 7th grade. You 2200+ scores no longer impress me. Come on guys, time to get a life.

Testing at Middle-School Age Has Its Own Reasons

An earlier CC thread and a later one give more perspective on why middle-school-age students take the SAT: to get more fitting educational programs is the main reason.

I did it as a part of the JHU and UCI talent searches. No, I wasn't insane. About 10% of my grade participated in these talent searches. And I never once prepped for a test until my junior year.

7th grade: 580M, 530V.
11th grade: 770M (missed 1 question), 800CR, 800W.

To AbN:
Nah, yo. I didn't spend half my life preparing for it. But scoring in the top something percentile of some standardized test (5th grade ERBs maybe???) got me on some JHU Center for Talented Youth mailing list. Besides, before I was the man on Friday nights, waking up on Saturday morning to take some test that my parents paid for didn't seem like so bad of a deal. I didn't even study for the SATs in 11th grade, and I only took them once. I'm a playa.

ABN:

maybe you don't get it...have you been reading anything at all? it's for talent searches and then you get to go live on campus for three weeks and its the best time of your life.

Nobody here said anything about preparing for these tests. For some people, natural talent and academic preperation in general do the job.
