Kevin Overall, a senior at Paul Laurence Dunbar High School, was one of only three students in Kentucky to earn a 36 on the ACT college entrance exam -- the highest possible composite score -- based on results from tests given in June.

Overall has not yet applied for college, but he wants to major in architecture.

The ACT consists of tests in English, mathematics, reading and science. Each test is scored on a scale of 1-36. The composite score is the average of the four test scores. ACT scores are accepted by virtually all U.S. colleges and universities.
