Young African-American boy breaks US school’s 46-year-old record, becomes first-ever to score 100% in university entrance examination

By receiving a perfect score of 100% on the nation’s ACT exam, a young African-American child called Mario Hoove has shattered the 46-year-old record of Providence-St. Mel School, Chicago, United States.

In the United States, the ACT test is used to assess a high school student’s preparation for college and gives universities a single uniform benchmark to compare all applications.

Before Mario Hoover broke the record and became the first person to ever accomplish such a feat, Providence St. Mel School in Chicago, Illinois, had never produced a student who achieved a 100% score in its 46 years of existence.

Hoover who aced all the examination’s 36 points said it him time to see his potential. “I want others to know that they can do the same. I’ve been saying a lot today that we are all capable of more than we think we can do,” Hoover said.

The Principal of the school, Timothy Ervin, described Hoover as the future of black history. “He is the future of Black history, in the sense that he has made history here in the present and that’s going to live on forever,” Ervin said.
