Ohio student aces ACT and SAT tests

[August 20, 2008]  MASON, Ohio (AP) -- An Ohio high school student who says he has been taking practice tests since sixth grade has received perfect scores on both the SAT and ACT college entrance exams.

Ray Wang had a perfect 2,400 on the SAT earlier this year. Now Wang has learned that he scored a perfect 36 on the ACT test.

The incoming senior at Mason High School north of Cincinnati says he's interested in biomedicine but hasn't decided which college to attend.

SAT officials say 269 of the 1.5 million students who took their test last year achieved a perfect score. ACT says 177 of the 2.2 million students who took that test during the 2006-2007 school year had a perfect score.

Test officials say they don't track how many students ace both tests.
