An NRI student living in UAE achieved a rare success by scoring perfect score of 1600 in the SAT (Standardised Test), which students appear for admission in US universities.

According a report in Gulf News, “Ahaan Shetty, a Grade 11 student at GEMS Modern Academy in Dubai, earned the highest possible score of 1600 (800 in maths; 800 in reading/writing) in SAT in December 2021. He got all his 154 questions correct and received his results a little over a week ago.”

“There is no secret or short-cut in doing well in SAT – or any other exam. You should do a lot of practice tests from previous SAT papers, and understand the pattern of the paper,” Ahan said in his comments to Gulf News,

“Ahaan, who is from Mumbai city in India, had previously obtained a near-perfect score of 1520. “I felt I could do better so I practiced some more and took the SAT again. I thought I did better this time but I was pleasantly surprised to get a perfect score,” said Ahaan, who wants to study physics, his favourite subject, at a leading university in the US after graduating high school next year,” the report said.

In his comments to Gulf News, Ahan said, “There is no secret or short-cut in doing well in SAT – or any other exam. You should do a lot of practice tests from previous SAT papers, and understand the pattern of the paper.”

Areas of Ahaan’s interests include playing the piano, sprinting in track-and-field, and robotics.
