CANTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. - Willa Chen has a knack for tough tests.

The College Board, made up of 5,000 schools, administers the SAT and PSAT but says it doesn't track statistics on whether anyone has scored perfectly on both of its tests.

Chen plans to attend Princeton University.

The student from the Detroit suburb of Canton Township said she doesn't think she studied a lot but she said she tries to keep learning all the time.

She participates in the Math Olympiad and also finds time to enjoy jazz, tap and ballet dancing.
