Do you belief a kid taking 5 AP courses (with 5s on the May exams) in Math, English Literature, History and Physics who has studied and prepared hard all year long is going into the SAT or any standardized test for that matter "cold".  I doubt it. In high school, my study and preparation for AP exams each year was overkill (several fold) for any standardized test (SAT aptitude, ACT, SAT subject tests) I ever took.  If you asked me whether I studied and prepared for the SAT I would counter every single year in high school in my course work and preparation covered every possible generic aptitude or standardized test imaginable.  The subject matter of the SAT or any such test was a small part of my educational menu in middle and high school.  What's to be embarassed about?  Why pretend I didn't study or prep?  In fact, given the low bar for standardized tests, some of us over studied and prepared as we were interested in performing well in our courses and knocking all our AP exams out of the park. 2400 on the SAT was simply gravy at the end of the day.
