Seven year old chemistry whiz

Exam PaperAlthough Ainan Celeste Cawley is only 7-years-old, he managed quite a good score for an O-level Chemistry examination. Under normal circumstances, this exam is only taken by students more than twice his age. Now, that’s impressive for a young kid like him.

The student from Singapore, who is in Primary 2 in a school in Bukit Timah, received his result on Monday - a "C", which means he scored between 60 to 70 per cent of the marks.

His parents, Mr Valentine Cawley, 38, an English teacher, and mother, Madam Syahidah Osman Cawley, 28, a homemaker, discovered their son's amazing inclination for Chemistry when he came across an O-level 10-year series and correctly answered the questions.

A spokesman for the board told The Straits Times that Ainan "must be one of the youngest to have taken an O-level exam and passed".
