Remarkable Achievements by This Year's Graduates
A student from Horokhiv Lyceum No. 1, Illia Obozovskyi, has achieved an outstanding result on the National Multi-Subject Test (NMT), earning 797 out of a possible 800 points. He received the maximum 200 points in three subjects, including mathematics where he achieved a perfect score. He also scored 197 points in the history of Ukraine. Illia plans to enroll in a medical university with the dream of becoming a surgeon, and he intends to remain in Ukraine.
The graduate's mother, Olha Obozovska, shared her emotional reaction to her son's success:
“I cried! When they told me, it was ‘tears of joy.’ I expected this result because my child studies constantly. Sometimes I want to tell him: maybe take a little break now. Truly, my child is golden, the best!”
Mathematics teacher Iryna Tymchuk also reflected on her experience:
“I never doubted Illia. The first time I saw him was in my first math lesson, sitting at the last desk. He had such curious eyes—a child who absorbed everything, who internalized every word I said. He was already trained to work systematically, very responsible.”
Additionally, another graduate, Yurii Hashchuk from Lviv, achieved an equally impressive feat by scoring a perfect 800 on the NMT. Yurii earned 200 points in each of the following subjects:
- mathematics
- Ukrainian language
