Twins Earn Perfect 1,600 Scores on SAT
Fraternal twins Courtney and Chris Salt- house got identical perfect scores on the SAT college admission test.
The 17-year-old seniors at Chamblee High School took the Scholastic Assessment Test last month.
“Coming out of it, I didn’t think I did well,” Chris said, noting that he had scored 1,550 on a previous SAT. Courtney said she was startled that she did as well as her brother. “I wasn’t so surprised for my brother as I was for myself.”
Of 1.8 million students who took the SAT in 1994, only 25 scored 1,600, said Tom Ewing, spokesman for Educational Testing Service of Princeton, N.J., which administers the test.
