A 10-year-old boy from Northeast China's Liaoning Province is tipped to become the country's youngest college student, after he did well on the National College Entrance Examinations (NCEE) earlier this month.

Zhang Xinyang, from Panjin City, scored 505, 47 points higher than local minimum enrollment mark for colleges.

According to Tianjin University of Technology and Education, the college Zhang applied to enter, Zhang will most probably be admitted if everything goes well, although his performance in Chinese and math disciplines was not so desirable.

At present, Feng Hao from Yue-yang City, Central China's Hunan Province, holds the record for the youngest college student after he was admitted by Hunan University in 2000 at the age of 12.

Zhang finished the six-year primary school education in two years and three-year junior high school education in another two years to graduate in 2004.

He quit to prepare for this year's NCEE at home in October 2004, one month after being in the third year of a senior high school.
