At 12 Years and 7 Months, Macau Student Chu Chi Hang Achieved Top Marks in Mathematics on the Edexcel International Examination, Becoming the Youngest in the World to Achieve This Historic Result
Chu Chi Hang, a young student from Macau, China, was officially recognized by the World Record Federation as the youngest person on the planet to achieve top marks in Mathematics on the Edexcel International Advanced Level (IAL) exam.
He accomplished this remarkable feat at 12 years, 7 months, and 24 days old, also earning the medal “Unique Skills of Wonderful People, No. 1 in the World.”
The achievement has turned the boy into a new global reference in the academic field, drawing the attention of educators and institutions.

A woman in the United States hired six immigrants for a $10,000 job on her house, and when the work was almost done, she allegedly called ICE to avoid paying and to have the workers deported.
His passion for mathematics has been present since a very young age, and his success in the international exam has reinforced his reputation as a gifted prodigy.
A History of Mathematical Achievements
Chu did not reach this result by chance. He had already won over 15 international and regional competitions, including the Gold Medal at the World Mathematics Invitational, the Champion title at the Macau Junior Mathematics Olympiad, and the First Prize at the Wasu International Mathematics Competition.
Even in elementary school, the student nearly achieved a perfect score in the Edexcel IGCSE Mathematics exam, demonstrating impressive consistency throughout his academic journey.
Versatility Beyond Numbers
Although he is recognized for his logical reasoning and talent with numbers, Chu also excels in other areas.
He obtained the Level 2 Junior Software Programming Certificate (C Language), awarded by the Chinese Institute of Electronics.
In his leisure time, he dedicates himself to piano and badminton, activities that, according to him, help balance mind and body.
This combination of disciplines, sports, and art shows a young man who values both intellectual excellence and personal well-being.
Gratitude and Recognition to Mentors
When commenting on his achievement, Chu expressed deep gratitude to his family and teachers. “I am very grateful to my parents, who have always supported me unconditionally,” he stated. He also made a point to thank the educators who accompanied him from an early age.
His main mentor, Dr. Yip Matthew Siu Ting — known as Prof. Mathewmatician — played a central role in preparing him for the exam. An educator from Hong Kong, he was recognized by the World Record Federation for directly assisting the student in this process.
Matthew has been with Chu since the second grade of elementary school and declared himself “extremely honored” by the young man’s success.
According to him, in addition to exceptional intelligence, Chu possesses great emotional maturity and patience to deal with complex challenges.
Focus and Humility for the Future
Even in the face of fame, Chu maintains a humble and disciplined profile. “I feel excited, but this will not make me complacent. I want to keep studying and achieve even greater accomplishments,” said the record holder.
His goal now is to attend a world-renowned university, deepening his studies in fields related to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
A Global Example of Dedication and Excellence
Experts point out that many young prodigies have already achieved high scores in public examinations, but Chu’s case stands out for the perfect score and his young age.
Macau’s achievement thus becomes a symbol of the pursuit of excellence and the importance of family and educational support in developing extraordinary talents.
