Khan Nguyen, a junior in the STEAM magnet program at Wheeler High School, received a perfect score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) in his first time taking the test.
His mother, Tuyet Anh, sent word of his accomplishment, along with the photo, and some additional information.
She says he took the SAT in May and got the score of 1,600. According to the Princeton Review, the average SAT score is 1,068, as of 2018.
The exam consists of reading, writing and math (more details here).
His mother says Kyan, 15, is active in Wheeler’s math team, Science Olympiad and music outreach activities. He also works as a part-time tutor and also enjoys reading, playing the piano and playing soccer with his friends.
His one-on-one tutoring sessions, she reports, “have helped Kyan understand how different people have different strengths, and it is a real pleasure to see his peers succeed where they had struggled before.”
She adds that he’s interested in biotechnology and biomedical engineering and has a mild interest in business.
His college plans are to apply to a number of colleges, including Northwestern, Georgia Tech and Brown.
