Immaculate HS freshman earns perfect PSAT score

DANBURY—Immaculate High School is proud to announce that one of its freshman students, Maximillian Fleming of Redding, earned a perfect score of 1440 on the PSAT 8/9.

Immaculate administers the PSAT to freshman and sophomores as a way to practice for the SAT test junior year. It’s all part of the school’s rigorous college preparatory program. Fleming was the only student taking the PSAT at Immaculate this year to earn a perfect score. The PSAT 8/9 consists of 98 questions divided into two sections, reading and writing and math, and takes approximately 134 minutes to complete (according to the College Board).

“We are incredibly proud of him,” said Dean of Counseling Timothy Nash. “This is no easy feat. We also want to encourage all students that, no matter what score they earned, there’s always time to practice and improve. This is precisely why we give the PSAT as a practice exam.”
