P.J. Gelinas Junior High School ninth-grader William Sun has accomplished something very few upperclassmen do by their senior year – he earned a perfect score on the Oct. 22 ACT exam.
William’s score landed in him the top 1 percent of the more than 2.1 million students who took the exam. However, this is not the first time he earned top honors on a college-preparation exam – he earned a 1500 on the 1600 SAT last year as an eighth-grader.
“I was excited to receive my high marks, it made all of the hard work I put into preparing worth it,” said William. “To those getting ready to take the test I recommend they take lots of practice exams to get use to the style and pacing of the test. It goes quickly but I believe the preparation leaves you feeling ready to succeed.”
