I'm curious to know - is there anybody wiling to 'fess up that they "prepped" their kid (in a major sense) and ended up with a 99%? These threads keep suggesting that this is common practice, but I really can't see how you could take an 80% kid and turn them into a 99% kid. Am I missing something?

Try a good night sleep and a full belly the morning of to do wonders for a poor past performance.

Indeed. If I'm not mistaken, Isaac Newton was practically a numbskull until his mom got the idea to put him to bed early and start him off with a pottage thickened with bacon every morning. We owe the law of mechanics to that pottage.
