<p>Does anyone know who the youngest kid was that got a perfect 12 on the SAT essay? Also, how old was he or she?

<p>Any why does it matter?</p>
<p>yeah. who gives?</p>
<p>I dont know any one who got a 12. Not even a high school student. A lot of people on this forum seem to have 12s, but I dont know any of them. So it must be very rare. You have every right to be proud of you child. How did she do on the rest of the test?</p>
<p>Getting a 12 is quite common in fact…maybe top 3-4%</p>
<p>I was the only one to get a 12 on my essay in my high school since the New SAT came out. The highest before then was a 10. This was my first SAT and I was expecting a 12. If the SAT essays are as easy as it was this time, I’ll have no problem getting more 12s.</p>
<p>I’m 16. Some 7th grader probably pulled it off somewhere.</p>
<p>yeah i got a 12 too in oct. i’ve been trying to figure out if it’s somewhat common or actually rare. i know lots of people with 11’s. and did anyone else get hurt by the MC, i got 5 wrong, no skips, 12 essay, ended up w/ 730.</p>
<p>12s arent rare.</p>
<p>We were told by the Duke admissions officer that even though Duke isn’t considering the essay on the new SAT this year, “800’s are so rare that they definitely attract their attention.”</p>
<p>Do you mean an 800 on the writing section?</p>
<p>Yes, 800 on the new writing section.</p>
<p>Cool! I got a 790, maybe Duke will like that bext year ;)</p>
