Wesleyan 8th-Grader Honored for Perfect SAT Math Score

A Wesleyan School eighth-grader was honored by the Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth at an international awards ceremony this week.

Andy Yang, an Alpharetta resident, received a perfect SAT math score - an 800 - when he took the college entrance test as a seventh grader.

The Center honored Andy for his exceptional performance as a middle school student on the college SAT test as part of the annual Center for Talented Youth Talent Search. CTY uses above-grade-level tests, like the college SAT and ACT, because they provide a clear picture of advanced students true academic abilities.

Andy was also invited to join CTY’s Study of Exceptional Talent (SET), a select group of profoundly gifted students worldwide.

Wesleyan School is located in Peachtree Corners, Ga., in Gwinnett County.
