McDONOUGH — Jooyoung Kim counts back two years ago in the spring, when he found a good use of his time while taking a lighter courseload at Eagle’s Landing Christian Academy.
Then a sophomore with extra time to study, he figured he would put his efforts into exam prep for the SAT college entrance exam, and it paid off big for him. He scored a perfect 2400 on the exam.
