A Florida teenager has achieved the virtually impossible by earning a perfect score of 1600 on his SATs.

Jacob Harrison, 17, surpassed his goal of 1550 on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT I) exam that covers reading, writing and arithmetic when he took it in December.

'I was shocked, I showed my friend because I was walking to school,' the junior at Largo High School in Largo, Florida told FOX13 on Tuesday. 'We both kind of freaked out for a second and then ran to class.'

In 2018, less than one percent of the 2.1 million people who took the exam walked away with a score between 1400 and 1600, according to a report published by College Board.

College Board Media Relations Associate Director Jaslee Carayol told DailyMail.com the company doesn't track the number of perfect scores, specifically.

News of Harrison's perfect performance comes as cases proceeds against 50 people implicated in a widespread college admissions bribery scam, which included cheating on the SAT.

The SAT I is made up of two sections, divided between Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and Math.

The reading and writing section is further separated into two portions with one focused on reading and the other dealing exclusively with writing and language.

Harrison didn't answer a single question incorrectly in either section, on any of those three portions.

The SAT I also includes an optional Essay portion, though it's not clear whether Harrison completed that part.

Scoring 1600 on the SATs is no east feat. The last time a student earned a perfect on the test in Pinellas County was in 2013.

Harrison said he studied and took practice tests ahead of the real exam, but his time was limited due to his many extracurricular commitments, including the Math Honor Society, the Science Olympiad team and the wrestling and swimming teams.

'I was just trying to focus, but I kept getting distracted,' he said, noting his surprise as the final outcome.

His mother, Sheri Harrison, was similarly surprised.

'I thought he was teasing me,' she said. 'When I saw the 1600 and realized his name was on his College Board account and saw his name on it, I realized it was true.'

For some, the exam is so difficult that parents paid off proctors to allow others to sit for the exam for their children, or alternatively to have someone come in and correct wrong answers in order to raise their scores.

Dozens have been implicated in the bribery scam, including Fuller House star Lori Loughlin, who is accused of paying to have her daughters designated as fake athletic recruits to gain an edge in college admissions.

Desperate Housewives star Felicity Huffman pleaded guilty to one count each of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud for paying a fake charity $15,000 to arrange to have someone correct her daughter's SAT exam, which resulted in a score of 1420.

It's not clear what repercussions, if any, Huffman's daughter might have to deal with at college following her mother's guilty plea.

For Harrison, who eventually plans to study statistics in college, he's not spending too much time relishing his perfect score.

'There's a lot of attention with getting 1600, but you know, I'm just kind of moving on from it, and focusing on other things in my life,' he said.

The teen has recently started his own tutoring business.
