One high school senior in Baldwin County has a lot to celebrate this holiday season, he managed to ace his ACT college entrance exam. When Landon Sykora isn't practicing with the Daphne High School Band, he's busy holding down a 4.0 G.P.A. and scoring perfect on his ACT. He already had a near perfect score under his belt, but after talking with one of his teachers, he decided to try again, "my English teacher Mr. LaPalme said that I should probably take it again cause I am one of the few students he's had that, like, is capable of doing it, in making 36, so that's what, I just decided to take it again," said Daphne High School senior, Landon Sykora. There's no question Landon will now have his pick of colleges, but he's got it narrowed down to 4, including UAB and Alabama. He hopes to one day become a doctor.

Why doesn’t anyone who gets a perfect score get interviewed? Getting a perfect ACT score isn’t even as hard as a perfect SAT~because you can make a total of up to 3 mistakes (as long as they’re all in the reading section—otherwise you can only miss 2 questions total) and still retain a “perfect” overall score, unlike the SAT where one mistake on one section denies you that title.

I’ve only known 2 people in madison county that scored a perfect on both, actually~I need to try harder!

Though I kinda wish this guy had higher hopes for college ;_; because I have to admit you need to at least be intelligent to get a 36. Though it’s understandable if he doesn’t want to apply for some hundreds of third party scholarships to be able to afford a really good university! Because that really is too much effort for most people….
