Boy, aged 16 to study Maths at Harvard University!!

So the whole thing is sort of GCSE/AS Level? Well if that’s what it is then it isn’t so hard. He done well, 1580 is a good score.

What’s the actual difference between SAT and ACT? What do the universities over there want, SAT or ACT?

It does kind of go like that. I know SAT as you said is like GCSE Level English and Maths. ACT is probably like A-Levels. @Kyber Ninja can give better information. I think higher level BMO papers are likely to be harder than ACT.

SAT is GCSE Level content.

If you score 1500, you're on the top 1%.

ACT is closer to A Level. ACT Maths will have A Level type content in it for example.

There's also SAT tests for Chemistry, Biology, physics etc that are laughably easy.

I'm sure if you do it on your first go you'd get a high score. it's really a pathetic test.

America's SAT and GPA system is why unis there look at ECs. It's hard for a student to differentiate themselves because their curriculum is styled in terms of BTECs. Ie no end of year exams and ****. Just lots of coursework. It really goes against able students.

The admission rate to Harvard is just over 5%.

One of the 5% happened to be Ayrton Little, who was surrounded by all of his classmates when he opened his acceptance email into Harvard!

He was also offered a full scholarship and will be studying at Harvard by the time I (similar age) get my GCSE results!

Here are some articles that document his success;

His friends (James Dennis) also got into Yale to study Maths at age 16 and his older brother will be studying Computer Science at Stanford!

Excellent family, excellent school and massive respect to the teachers.
Their story is extremely touching and motivating.

Good for him for getting into Harvard.

But why do you continue to adversely connect everything to race and BME, stop trying to spread your political agenda believe what you believe but black people aren't treated like **** and there achievements are covered in the news but not identifying them as black because that is what radicals like you want.

Wow. So with good SAT, ACT and A-Levels along with EC’s can get you into a good university? I would do that but I have no $$$.

Wouldn’t worry mate, she’s been banned 3 times in 4 hours.

What relevance does this have to anyone in the UK (the vast majority of people on this forum)?

That's an SAT paper. Look at it, a true joke for college entrance.

While we deal with STEP, BMAT, PAT and TSA, they do that 😂.

Maths section towards the end

Because "#BlackExcellence"

ACT is completely optional. I mean, if you're the type of guy that does better on harder tests than you could do the ACT instead of SAT. You only really gotta do one.

So yeah, with this preparation, that's kinda why they're doing A Level maths in uni.

The $$$ is always the hard part

ACT is closer to A Level. ACT Maths will have A Level type content in it for example. Still below stuff like C4 though

This is their university entrance exam?! Not going to lie, that’s actually piss easy for prospective college students. Lol our STEP compared to their SAT is nothing.

The student in the video. According to people here, he's doing his ACT this year? Wouldn't this mean that he's at the same level or below the top year 12s in the UK who deal with STEP, BMO and stuff? Does that mean that year 12s have a good chance of entering early into the ACT?

America for you - free guns and free high scores

this is old news lol. Also his brother got into Stanford, wheres his cheering? Stanford is much harder to get into.

Yeah. You can do them whenever you want.

He did an AS Level type aptitude test in Y12. yes i know, it's not that out of the ordinary
