DANVILLE Ky.
A central Kentucky teen received a perfect score on two college entrance exams.
John Liu, 17, a senior at Danville High School, scored a perfect 2400 on the SAT and a perfect 36 on the ACT.
The feat is unusual, education officials said.
Kristin Crouse, a spokeswoman with ACT, said scoring perfectly on one exam is hard enough, but to score perfectly on both exams is a “remarkable achievement.”
During the 2006-07 school year, more than 2.2 million ACT tests were administered. Only 177 came back with a 36. Of the nearly 1.5 million SAT exams taken, only 269 came back with a 2400.
Liu said he attended a three-week summer camp and studied several test-preparation books before taking the SAT exam first.
