I took the PSAT a few weeks back, and I had a question with Sigur Ros and Radiohead.

That's really awkward.

Huh. I took the PSAT a few weeks ago and remember nothing about Radiohead or Sigur Ros...

I actually got in the range of The Shins on my SATs

I'm pretty sure SAT's are scored to 2400 now, so that chart is kinda flawed since it's based off the old SAT scoring system.

With that being said, I don't even remember what I got on my SAT's. Your SAT score is not as incredibly important for your academic career as your high school teachers make them out to be. You can still make it into a D1 college with an average SAT score of about 1600. Just don't flunk your SAT's, but you don't necessarily have to do great on them either.

The only thing I remember about SAT's was having my first taste of whiskey in my friend's car in the parking lot while we waited for them to let us in.

that's awesome

My ex did her ACTs on a hangover. I forgot how well she did, but she's an idiot, so I'm guessing not well.

What kind of PSAT's that have remotely interesting questions did you guys take?

That's true, but most of the top schools in the country (Ivy League schools and whatnot) still only take the original two scores, so the 1600 scoring is not an entirely archaic scale.

Probably the greatest SAT experience ever.

SAT scores related to musical preference.

I saw this a while ago (yearish?). The way it was conducted was that he looked at the facebook network statistics (when facebook still let users see them) for a number of colleges to see what the most popular entries for "favorite music" among students at that college. He then compared that to the average SAT admitted to each college.

The reason why "classical" is lower than "Beethoven" and "jazz" is lower than "Frank Sinatra" is because apparently people who put entire genres as their tags instead of artists went to less prestigious schools. Interesting phenomenon.
Keep in mind, this is before facebook changed everything to becoming "fans" of artists and whatnot.
