A Bellevue high school student was one of the few students to earn the highest possible ACT score this year.

Newport High School junior Michael Hu earned a composite score of 36. On average, less than one-tenth of one percent of students who take the ACT nationally earn that score.

Hu received a letter from the ACT chief executive officer stating, "Your achievement on the ACT is significant and rare. While test scores are just one of multiple criteria that most colleges consider when making admission decisions, your exceptional ACT composite score should prove helpful as you pursue your education and career goals."

The ACT consists of tests in English, mathematics, reading and science. Each test is scored on a scale of 1-36 and a student's composite score is the average of the four test scores. Some students also take the optional ACT writing test, but the score for that test is reported separately and is not included within the ACT composite score.

Quite an achievement...

Great achievement of Michael Hu ...

But the REALLY interesting note should be showing the records of top ACT scores 10 or 15 years after. After they've finished COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY and have been doing graduate.

ACT was first administered in November 1959 so there should be some really interesting statistics. Is there anyone interested in the "future" ot those who scored top results in ACT?

Any of current top US economists, scientists, politics, lawyers etc. scored top on ACT?

I made a Google search for  "top ACT scores 10 or 15 years later" (without quotes) and got no significative results. Neither  from Wikipedia. No clue about current present of those outstanding top past scores.

MAYBE SOMEONE CAN DO A MORE EFFICIENT SEARCH IN THIS MATTER?
