Florida high school student earns ‘perfect triple’ on college entrance exams

TAMPA, Fla. — A Florida high school student has scored a rare achievement.

17-year-old Adwaith Praveen, whose friends call him “Ad” scored a perfect score on his SAT, PSAT and his ACT. Some call it a “perfect triple.”

The Tampa resident says his secret was to stay calm, take a deep breath and get some good sleep before his tests.

The junior at Strawberry Crest High School studies a lot and is applying to MIT for college.
