Hey, so I've heard that there was a notorious 'salt' question on the PSAT that everyone loves to joke about. Does anyone remember what that question was about or have any idea where I can find it? I'm just curious about this infamous question lol.
Hey! The "salt" question you're referring to was quite popular on social media and became a meme after the PSAT in 2017. The question was part of the reading comprehension section and revolved around a passage discussing the use of salt in various historical contexts. One of the questions associated with the passage asked why salt was used to preserve food in the past.
The reason this question gained so much attention was that it seemed simple and rather straightforward compared to other PSAT questions, which led to humor and bemusement among test-takers. The actual question or passage may not be available online since the PSAT is typically copyrighted and not released for public consumption. However, you might still find jokes or memes related to it on social media platforms.
Keep in mind that the most important thing about preparing for the PSAT is to focus on the test's core concepts and practice questions. While it's fun to recount these moments of test-taking humor, try not to get too distracted by them. Good luck with your studies!
