We also have a similar case in UK where an 8 year old, Zoihab Ahmed, was the youngest to score A* grades at A level maths. See

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/educationnews/4979604/Nine-year-old-becomes-youngest-ever-to-pass-A-level-maths-with-Grade-A.htmlAlongside his brother, they became the youngest kids to get A* grades at A level maths . See
