    Default Perfect scores

    Excerpt: Jakub Voboril, 17, a senior at Bishop Carroll High School, learned last month that he had scored a 36 on his ACT, which he took in June. His perfect score, one of only two in Kansas on the June test, came after he scored 32 and 34 on his first two tries.

    "Part of me said, 'That's good enough. You can stop there,"' he said. "But I decided to take it one more time to see what happened."

    He took the SAT the same week. Those results - a perfect 2400 - came in shortly after he got his ACT scores.

    Read the rest here: Perfect Scores

    I never thought it was possible, but he did it. Comments?

    That kid is going to be marvelously paid when he makes it big as a novel writer.

    WOW.
    Chuck Noblet: Can anyone tell me the tragic irony of the Trojan War? Tina? Tina: Um, that horses are friendly creatures yet a hollow, wooden one was used to destroy Troy? Chuck Noblet: Wrong and no. Anyone else? Chip? Chip: That the mighty warrior Achilles was killed by a small cut to his ankle. Chuck Noblet: Chip is wronger. OK, here it is. The tragic irony of the Trojan War is that though it was fought over Helen, who was young and beautiful, by the time they rescued her ten years later, she was old and ugly. Tina: But wasn't recovering the king's wife reward enough for the Greeks? Chuck Noblet: Tina, an ugly woman is never a reward.

    Yeah, that is pretty amazing coming from Kansas.

    Those tests aren't even that hard though. I'd probably be a lot better off if I wasn't such a smurf-up that parties way too much.

    Now that I think about, I just made myself feel bad.

    I know a few people who scored 100 in the HSC last year. Some are quite normal.

    Others...
