any top 7th grader from china or russia should score easily 800 on SAT math.

it's so ridiculously easy it's not even funny, and just keeps getting easier. even the GRE math is ridiculously easy.

this just begs to be brought up in any SAT thread. and then the discussion goes into how education systems differ... the US system is probably still superior, in any case.

I really doubt that unless they're teaching Geometry in sixth grade to most students. You really need a solid foundation in Geometry to do 700+ and have your basic Algebra skills refined like mad to consistently get 800s. I was two years ahead of grade level and took Geometry in the eigth grade. I'm finding it very unrealistic for a non prodigy/autistic (gifted in math, of course) child to do that well on the SAT.

 I disagree entirely - I was an English major and I think I could've done that well on the Math section of the SATs.  I agree that they're shamefully easy, but I think that it's made to compensate for the decent percentage of the US's population that just can't do math.  And a lot of that comes down to the attitudes towards math and science within our country, and a sort of defeatism that comes when you don't immediately "get" it, because both are much more abstract than reading most books you read in grade school.
