* Was it here that was mentioned the report stating that people seem to peak cognitively in their mid-20s on average? I seem to recall such a report a few weeks ago and remember one comment on it being that this is when people tend to finish college so that the cognitive decline might just be most people slow down on learning new things. The take away being: keep learning new things intensively until your brain burns out. :)<br>

I did not study for it (thinking it covered so many topics that it would be useless to do so, a mistake on my part) and by the end I actually had a mild headache from the concentration and effort required on my part. Ironically, my composite score was only two points lower than my highschool result, when much of the material covered was fresh in my head! lol<br>
