Speaking to BBC Look North, Cyrus said: “I didn’t expect that I’d get a high score like that. I didn’t believe it.
“The test was quite easy, but there were a couple of difficult questions.”
Cyrus’ proud dad, Frank, said his son had shown talent from a very early age, mastering times tables by himself when he was just three years old.
He said: “Cyrus was very keen to challenge himself and see whether he could get into the (Mensa) society.
“He’s got such a gift. It’s my responsibility to help him achieve the maximum he can achieve.”
In his spare time, the Birkdale School pupil enjoys playing chess, piano and video games.
He said he hoped to become a data scientist because it combined his favourite school subjects and the idea of using AI to solve problems was “fun.”
