Redding Student Earns Perfect PSAT Score

REDDING, CT — A Redding resident and student at Immaculate High School in Danbury earned a perfect score of 1440 on the PSAT 8/9.

Maximillian Fleming is a freshman at Immaculate.

The school administers the PSAT to freshmen and sophomores as a way to practice for the SAT test junior year.

Fleming was the only student taking the PSAT at Immaculate this year to earn a perfect score. The PSAT 8/9 consists of 98 questions divided into two sections, reading and writing and math, and takes approximately 134 minutes to complete (according to the College Board).

“We are incredibly proud of him,” said Dean of Counseling Timothy Nash. “This is no easy feat. We also want to encourage all students that, no matter what score they earned, there’s always time to practice and improve. This is precisely why we give the PSAT as a practice exam.”
