The child got the highest possible score of 1600 (800 in maths; 800 in reading/writing) in SAT in December 2021. The results of the tests were announced last week.
Shetty is from Mumbai city in India. He had previously got a near-perfect score of 1520.
“I felt I could do better so I practiced some more and took the SAT again. I thought I did better this time but I was pleasantly surprised to get a perfect score,” said Shetty.

He wants to study physics, which is his favourite subject, at a leading university in the US after graduating high school next year.
He also loves to play piano, sprint in track-and-field and is a big fan of robotics.
Shetty did not study the day before his SAT and feels that there is no short-cut for doing well in SAT – or any other exam.
