A schoolboy who achieved the highest score possible on the Mensa test said he felt ‘very blessed’ to have done so well. Advik Balaji, who is 11-years-old from South Harrow, took the two-hour test on March 25 and achieved 162, the highest possible score for children under 18, qualifying him for Mensa membership. The highest score for adults is 161. A score in the top two per cent will prompt an invitation to join Mensa.
Advik Balaji attends Grange Primary School in Harrow where he is in his final year. He is getting ready to go secondary school this September. He lives with his father Gothandaraman, mother Sangeetha, and sister Asmitha, who is 7.
In preparation for secondary school, Advik has written to eight grammar school and been accepted to all. His favourite subjects in school are maths and science, and he loves football.
