<p>Sad…</p>

<p>it would be crazy if they graded his test and he ended up getting a perfect score…</p>

<p>Dang that sux, and he died doing something that is not particulalry fun or exciting.</p>

<p>Wow, /just/ the thing I want to read before taking them. I told my mother PSATs were killing my brain… Lol. The last thing he did was take the test, that really sucks. I wonder how it happened.</p>

4

<p>yeah, i wonder what the autopsy will show.</p>

5

<p>Some speculate he was taking some sort of drug before it, though I doubt it.</p>

6

<p>Yeah … i doubt there’s a causal effect between the PSAT and his death</p>

7

<p>Oooooo, correlation!</p>

<p>Correlation=/=causation</p>

<p>Death by PSAT.</p>

<p>“Cause of death: PSAT.”</p>

<p>We may have to investigate the lethality of standardized tests after this. In fact, I’ll start researching right away. I shall return with my results at a later date.</p>

<p>A ridiculous number of self-study AP psych students go on CC and post questions like “i just red in my review book that co-relations dont inply a casual relationship what do they mean by casual relationship.”</p>
