SAT coming up May 2; Willa Chen Aces Three Big Ones

When you are getting ready for this Saturday's SAT exam, keep your eyes on the prize and shoot for the stars. You have worked so hard to get where you are and now you just need to put everything into place.

While I was thinking about the upcoming exam, this bit of news came my way about an intrepid young student from Michigan, Willa Chen, who aced the SAT, the ACT and the PSAT. While not many will repeat this feat, it is nice to see that hard work pays off.

This is from the AP:

"Student aces ACT, SAT and PSAT CANTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. -- Willa Chen has a knack for tough tests.

The Detroit News reported Saturday that the 17-year-old senior at southeast Michigan's Canton High School got perfect scores on the ACT. And the SAT. And the PSAT.

The College Board administers the SAT and PSAT but says it doesn't track statistics on whether anyone has scored perfectly on both its tests.

Chen plans to attend Princeton University.

The student from Canton Township said she doesn't think she studied a lot but she said she tries to keep learning all the time.

She participates in the Math Olympiad and also finds time to enjoy jazz, tap and ballet."
