Tyrone Marhguy, the young Rastafarian initially denied admission to Achimota School due to his dreadlocks but later admitted following a court order, has received two prestigious awards from the American Mathematics Olympiad 2023 for his exceptional accomplishments in Grade 12.
Marhguy secured the title of the 2023 overall national top scorer, earning the Gold medal after competing with over 150,000 students worldwide.
Additionally, he was honored with the Vanda Science International Olympiad in the Silver category, surpassing 38,000 test-takers.
In recognition of his academic excellence, Marhguy has been officially inducted into the International Junior Honour Society, 2023.
On December 19, Marhguy achieved remarkable success in the West African Senior Secondary School Examinations (WASSCE), securing an impressive 8 As.
He has also achieved a remarkable feat by attaining the 99th percentile globally in the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT).
The SAT is a widely recognized and competitive examination used by many universities in the United States to assess students’ abilities before they enroll in university.
Marhguy scored an impressive 1500 out of a maximum 1600, ranking in the 99th percentile. This means he performed better than 99% of all the candidates who took the examination in the year 2022. Such a high score is particularly noteworthy as only 1 out of every 100 candidates typically attains this level of achievement.
