Sam A. '23 Earns Perfect ACT Score |
|
Sam A. '23 falls into a small category of people who can claim this big achievement: he earned a perfect score on his ACT this year.
Sam said there are no secrets and no shortcuts to earning the perfect score. He studied hard, took practice tests, and is enrolled in several honors classes.
In 2021, only 0.3% of all ACT test-takers earned a perfect score. Another statistic we’d like to see: how many families have two children with a perfect score? Sam’s brother, SFHS alum John A. ‘21, also earned a perfect score.
