Lol millennials. 1600s used to be rare before they changed the scale and dumbed down the test.

LOL, I'm not much younger than you and while I didn't hit 1600 myself -- fuck the English comp part -- I know 5 kids that hit 1600 from RJ Reynolds, Tabor, and West combined. And there could have been more. I've never been a social butterfly.

Pretty sure 94/95 was when they changed the scale and dumbed down the test as Ph alludes to. That was the big debate my senior year of HS - if you scored well enough on the "real" pre-idiot version your Jr year, did you risk the score to re-take it but possibly crush the new version that likely wouldn't be taken as seriously. Which, shockingly, would put DV7 and his boys in the version that was viewed as a joke.
 
When Ben Carson was taking the SAT, Detroit was the fifth most populated city in the country, so while it's possible that he was the first person in the city to do this, it is extremely unlikely. Detroit back then wasn't the same war zone just with more people. While neighborhoods were still heavily segregated due to the redlining that had been going on there pretty much forever, there was still a lot of money in the city and the schools were generally fully integrated and very good.
 
Not really from a crazy, but it's Facebook.

I find it very hard to believe that no one else in a major city scored 1600 (the maximum at the time) over the course of 20 years.

3 of the 5 people that got 1600s were girls. Sexist.

Oh, Paul Ryan. This is the man that once said that school free lunch programs leave children with "a full stomach and an empty soul". Link

How many free lunches does Paul Ryan eat in a week? I'm guessing at least 3-4.

Detroit in 1968 or so was pretty much what San Francisco or Seattle is today in terms of economic and cultural relevance to the rest of the country.

I would even go so far as to say that 1960's Detroit was the most important city in the country in terms of these things.

I graduated from one of the toughest high schools in the country in 1996 (University High in Tucson, AZ...was consistently ranked top 10 in national rankings), and my graduating class was either the first or 2nd year of the re-centered test scores. We had at least 10 kids score a 1600 in a class of 150. Prior classes would have anywhere from 1-3 kids get a 1600. The scoring got dramatically easier in the mid 90's and cheapened a perfect score.

I'm not saying he doesn't get any free lunches, but going to lunch with government employees is an insanely annoying endeavor. You can't pay for a cent of their meal, so there's all this really detailed bill splitting that goes on. Luckily, service industry folks in town are very understanding.
