Pa. Boy, 13, Scores Perfect 1600 on SAT


MECHANICSBURG, Pa. - A 13-year-old boy has scored a perfect 1600 on the SAT, a standardized test usually given to college-bound high school seniors.

"I was pretty surprised and happy," said Lee Kennedy-Shaffer, an eighth-grader at Mechanicsburg Middle School. "I did not think I would score that high."


He got the perfect score for a test he took in December as part of a program for gifted children.


He wasn't the first in his family to get a perfect score, but he was the first to do so at such a young age.


In June 2003 his brother Ross scored 1600 on the SAT as a junior at Mechanicsburg High School. The oldest brother, Alan, had 1520 on the exam.


"When your mother is a high school math teacher and your father is a history professor ... doing well in school is expected," Alan Kennedy-Shaffer said.

My hat goes off to him.


I wonder if he'll go to college...I had a couple of friends score exorbitantly high on the SAT (in the high 1400s-low 1500s) when they were 13/14 and they ended up going to college as opposed to staying in HS because they felt like they had nothing to prove academically (among other factors).

Well that is amazing...but that kinda sucks if he goes to college now i think. High school is such an important time for teenagers to make friends and to figure things out with their lives. Its all about exploration and things like that. So if he just goes to college now...he'll be missing out on a lot. PLUS, what is he gonna do in college? He can't drink or go out, and he won't make friends since he's like 8 yrs younger than everyone, so that would be stupid too.
