Those numbers are well above average. Good results. I don't know the context but if he didn't prepare much or at all then those results are quite good.

If you expected him to get a perfect score, your expectations might be too high or there might be some hero worship going on.

Been a very, very long time. But I expect that getting a top score involved being both "smart" (whatever that means exactly) and having done a ton of prep work.
