I recently posted about a student, Cedrick Arguelas, in Los Angeles who earned a perfect score on the AP exam in calculus.
Of 302,000 students who took the test, only 12 received a perfect score.
Another student in California won a perfect score. Matthew Cheung attends Davis High School in Davis, near Sacramento.

But are they creative, healthy, ethical, and civic-minded?

Nah, the machine scoring the tests was hungover and made a mistake!

Acing an invalid test is a success???

Thanks for posting! Just one minor correction: Davis High School is in Davis, not Sacramento (which is nearby).

Also, the Davis student is actually Matthew Cheung (not Jason).

This is not sarcasm, but former Chancellor in Washington DC, M. Rhee can change score to make students’ score in charter schools being excellent at great numbers.
This means that we will hear 100 students from charter schools, NOT 2, who will ace INVALID TESTS.
As some previous posts have pointed out that any students who repeat these particular old version tests over and over, will ace these tests
In short, life is not perfect and err is human. Therefore, perfect is A.I. in robots which are coded by intelligent human being. In other words, society needs intelligent people with human conscience. However, dictatorship and greedy corporate needs robots to serve them like cog in the machine which is easily disposed at their pleasure. Back2basic.

Congratulations to the two students but this is just what charters and other “miracle schools” (see P-Tech) do – highlight outlier kids that would likely do anywhere.
It is also in a way acknowledging that a perfect score on the AP Calc actually means more than any other “high score.” It doesn’t.
Finally, it validates the college board exams. I can roll out kid after kid that scored a 4 on AP BC Calculus that I’d put up in terms of mathematical background, knowledge, and ability, thanks to their teacher, over many kids that got 5s (I’m talking same school, same population here, different teacher).
