> 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.

It would be like trying to explain the color green to someone that was born blind.

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. And this goes back to the original article.
