1st Place Individual Probe Test II

Soo Young Choi  placed 1st in the Probe II test at the UNL Math Day.  The Probe II test combines the Probe I exam (25 multiple choice questions) with a 6 question test (they are graded on their work and answer), then they combine the scores to come up with the overall winners and award scholarships to the top ten individuals.  By placing first Soo Young has earned an $8000 scholarship to UNL.  This is the first time ever that a Mount Michael student has placed first.  Jae Jun Park placed in the top ten, twice, in previous years.
