> Sorry for the diversion, but what is/was it like to be able to ace a test without really studying for it?

Fairly anti-climatic. For someone that it comes easy too there is no real emotion or sense of accomplishment.

I completely agree with this statement. Personally, I felt like I didnt put in as much effort into my highschool work because I knew that I could easily pick up whatever I missed in class or homework and if I knew I could do it there was no real drive for me to try harder.
