An Indiana high school student has become the only student in the world to receive a perfect score on the Advanced Placement Calculus AB exam, getting 108 out of 108 questions correct.

Felix Zhang, who attends Penn High School in Mishawaka, Indiana, scored every point possible on the AP Calculus AB exam.

He was one of 270,000 students worldwide to take the AP exam in May 2022, while he was just a sophomore student. He is now a junior student.

Zhang’s AP Calculus AB teacher at Penn High School last school year was Mrs. Denise White, who this year is teaching Zhang again in the next level AP Calculus CB class.

Mrs. White has been a teacher for 30 years and is in her fourth year of teaching AP Calculus at Penn.
