I mean you can play this game with any subject. I scored a 5 on the CS AP tests without studying because I had been coding nonstop since I was 10.

You are proving my point pretty much exactly. You didn't score well because you were smart in some vague objective sense -- you scored well because you had essentially spent 10 years inadvertently studying.
