Congratulations to Junior Maeve Chmielewski for making a perfect score on her ACT!
Maeve said she was sitting with her friends at lunch when she got the news.
“ I remember taking the test and feeling confident, and there was no set timeframe for when scores would come out, so I've been waiting in hopeful suspense. I'm very happy that my performance reflected my hard work,” she said.
Maeve said she was prepared for the test, and that it came down to testing strategy. She knew she needed to focus on math since that was her weakest subject in her PSAT and previous ACT scores. She spent time using the Khan Academy practice resources to prepare for the PSAT in the fall.
“My hard work paid off for the PSAT, and I believe it also contributed to my improved ACT score,” she said. “Ultimately I focused on feeling comfortable during the test and trusting in my abilities as not to let test anxiety hinder what I knew I was capable of.”
Not only was Maeve able to celebrate with her friends at lunch, but she also had a chance to see her brother and mom immediately after finding out and called her dad as well.
We are so proud of you, Maeve!
