I go to a private school now but I hear at public schools, you have to pay $2.50 for that crap lunch poison. Like actually, they mine as well just make it free if you are just going to microwave frozen soup
Isn't it just a little weird that the people with a ton of involvement in your college acceptance also have a ton of incentives for you to fail repeatedly?
Prakhar Mishra they were sued because there were glitches that made students not able to submit their tests before time ran out, which basically makes their tests void, and it happened because the amount of students that were using the same link at the same time, even though collegeboard was aware of how many people were registered for each ap test, and it continued to happen after the first time. And then when people complained, collegeboard decided they were gonna make them pay to retake it in July, then people complained because collegeboard was at fault so they shouldn’t have to pay, and they decided to make it free, but a lot of people, seniors mostly, needed the ap scores before the start of college to get a waiver for certain credits. It also caused a lot of e,optional distress because it either shut down in the middle of the test, meaning they couldn’t get back in or their tests became useless.
Yeah. Even though I never experienced any malfunctions or technical issues, I’m still upset about this year’s AP tests. It’s still absurd that they charged full price for just 2 questions. They should have reduced the price. I would have also been happy if they even cancelled the test. Additionally, many students were going through a lot during that time, due to COVID and whatnot, including loss of family members. And yet, they still had to take the test. Of course, they could cancel and ask for full refund, but then they get no college credit!
The fees for sending scores part actually made me cry tbh, like dang im trying to get ACCEPTED into a school that I'll have to pay thousands of dollars for that I don't have, and you make me pay extra to send these dang scores?
I'm genuinely worried that within a matter of years going to college will only be a viable option for the rich again. If I have kids, they'll probably never even see a college. What's gonna happen to everyone else with how much shittier non-college workers get treated by employers, peers, customers, and society at large? And the worst part about it is that the only thing you can do in the event of a monopoly, as somebody with no influence on educational or anti-monopoly law, is pay up.
Paying to send scores never made any sense to me. Like, I already paid for the exam, which would've been useless if I DIDN'T plan to send the score to any college. And why do I need to give $12 for something that can be done by a CB worker with the one click?
Non-profit does not mean that an increase in revenue does not benefit those working for or with the company. It simply means that the organization does not return money to a owning board of investors.
The funny thing is that sending sat score reports is so easy that I accidentally did it myself because I didn’t know that you had to go through college board to do it and 3/5 of the colleges I applied to accepted them and didn’t notice
Linden Salter no guarantees that colleges won’t notice but the way I did it I viewed my latest score report (this way it shows all SATs you’ve taken) and downloaded it to a pdf and then sent it to the colleges after I submitted my application
😂 Your comments are always funny hahaha loved it, Aurora! College Board is honestly the type of person/people to ask if you're having fun studying for the SAT xD
My lost faith in the education system might have began when an SAT strategy course my mom put me in, offered by the school and them pretty much was more about exploiting the test than knowing any of the material. I know this because the rest of Junior year, senior year, and my 3 years of college have been absolute hell deprived of motivation and interest.
Yes, this is why I dislike test prep companies. They teach you to crack the test in a clever way, but not necessarily in the academically beneficial way, so they end up short-changing you in the long run. This is why I’m glad I improved my standardized testing scores the hard way, by actually improving my logical reasoning and content gaps, without the aid of test prep companies.
Yeah, I got hit super hard with the newer curve. Calculating my score in previous years using a different curve from two years ago would’ve put me well into the 1500’s... Even using a previous curve from the same year would have given me a much higher score.
The vibe I get from this College Board system is: “Pay us money or fail” Which sounds like pay to win tbh. For a game with such amazing lore, revolutionary character variety, amazing graphics, the ability to have a direct impact on the world for everyone no matter who you are, and an alright story, it’s monetized to hell and back, which really kills the experience for me. I wish people who makes mods for this game that try to mitigate that monetization get more attention to be honest.
De-monetization has been tried a couple times but players who try it usually lose the respect of the greater community and most of the time it breaks the game in one way or another. It's amazing that how no matter how sophisticated your code is, it's always held together with spit and duct tape at some points
The one issue with watching videos like this is that it makes me hostile towards College Board (and rightfully so), which I will later use as an excuse for myself to procrastinated SAT/AP prep in the future. Really caught between a rock and a hard place, where the rock is my justified and seething hatred for the American education system and all its accessories, and the hard place is my need to do well academically.
@@astracrits4633 Weird fact: But the Canadian government is basically paying companies to take kids as interns and autism speaks was a huge partaker. It's basically free labour paid for by the government in exchange for training
ShivVZG, lol I hope they fall apart. I think that college board is a money hungry company like textbooks you must buy this item making it a best seller. Scams...
Even though College Board is listed as a non-profit, their CEOs have been found to be earning a massive amount of money. This is de-facto for-profit and this is what privatized education is like.
That's why I moved to canada for higher education. College in Canada and the US is the difference between being able to pay off your entire college experience with a single large bill with one payment, and dying with $800,000 dollars in debt because some rich dickheads expect you to be able to pay $67,000 dollars a year.
I've helped run a non-profit before. You're allowed to profit all you want, you just can't distribute the profit amongst the shareholders. What you can do is use the money in next year's budget. As an example, we could budget to give the shareholders bonuses next year which happen to match the profit we made. We're not distributing the profit though, it's just a coincidence that the numbers are the same.
College board offered me a way to earn college credits through a program called CLEP. This program offers courses- with an exam at the end that costs 89$, which decides if you get the credit. While you have access to the curriculum for free, to get the credit you have to spend money (at a fraction of a normal college credit). However, CLEP credits aren't accepted by all colleges. Students who are In high school paying for CLEP exams, and don't know which college they are going to are most susceptible to wasting money. College board relies on students not doing their research.
You can even see that they aren’t really a non profit organization because their revenue in 2017 was $1.07 Billion and their expenses that year were only $928 million
Here's a real-life pro tip that will get buried. Don't take any of those tests. Go to a community college (100% acceptance rate regardless of background). Save insane amounts of $$$ doing so. Transfer out to any school you want when you get your associates after 2 years
It isn’t really private cuz the government sponsors college board as a monopoly. It’s basicically an arm of public education at this point. The SAT was even shittier before the ACT started competing.
The unending pain knowing that next year ill have to spend 400+ dollars on ap exams, even more on the SAT, amd possibly on the ACT, and whatever other BS CB throws at me.
Honestly I think we all should protest no more education high cost. I spoke to someone who was part of the board and she said they charge students for tuition but the school has sponsored and people already paying for the bills. This is all just extra money. I hate school and I don’t think anyone can change my mind.
Wait now i'm scared to take the SAT. Have they really been doing this? So if i get one or 2 wrong, it creates a worse impact on my score compared to before? This is my first time taking it so idk
That feeling when some Indian guy simplified taking a college acceptance in less than 3 minutes compared to your english teacher instructing for over 3 weeks.
This is sad when you realize we are trapped by the monopoly of advancing education and we cant do anything about it because we're high school kids and no one cares about our well being *cries while studying for SAT*
I have been directly affected by every SINGLE point that u have made about the sat math curve, sending scores and rush reporting ... ur vids r on point keep it up
Rip you posted this at the wrong time. Only if you have posted it now when everyone is taking their ap test, they could watch something to vent out their anger
Man all those kids graduating from 2016-2018 are so lucky. I had to deal with such shitty curves in 2019 that it wasn’t even fair😭. Everytime I compared tests in 2019 to the ones in the past, people got much higher scores for the same amount of mistakes! Lokwey wish I graduated anywhere from 2016-2018!!
Hey there! I've been studying to take the SAT this month and your videos have been helpful, you're a really smart guy. I take the test Saturday so I only have a few days left to study. I want to ask you, what are the most important math fundamentals that I need to know going into the test? I'm extremely terrible at math. I've been trying to cram as much as I can back into my mind as I remember almost nothing, but I just don't seem to get better. I've taken 3 practice tests. My best math score is 430, and my worst is 380.
Thanks a lot for the compliments bro! I think knowing how to apply the area of the circle formula and other area forumlas will be helpful and knowing how to simplify expressions with imaginary numbers and other algebra concepts. Grind through as many math problems as possible today, but take it easy on friday
I think I must have lucked out this year since I got 1500 on March 2020 SAT, when I was getting like 1450 on previous practice exams (using each year's own scaling)
Good video. The College Board is always unpredictable. One question costs 20-30 points....... At least you're making/saying something that is 100% true.
Best way to increase demand for a product is to make it appear difficult to attain. And create a competition. That’s why Ferrari sells... and colleges too...
Gotta love how the first SAT I took I got one question wrong on the math section. If I took it literally a year eariler I would've had a perfect score ;(.
Remember kids, college board makes tens of millions a year in pure profit (nearly a billion a year in net profit) but they can still be designated as Not-For-Profit.
Oh, and lets not forget to lobby the state into convincing them that ALL high school kids should take the test during a school day... that way make use of the existing teacher staff to proctor and not have to pay someone. What a bonus!! Get the state to buy SATs for EVERY kid in 11th grade AND have the tests proctored on the school district's dime! College Board at its best!
As a student, collegeboard is so dumbed down. I am using their textbook, and I genuinely enjoy math, but seriously, this is about as educational in math as a crosswords puzzle is education in english. Too much work, too little learned.
Literally failed my AP theory exam bc it was June 2020 and College board doesn't know how to make a decent online test. They gave me half the time but charged full price, and unlike the finals and other important exams, never offered a retake for students who were unfairly graded due to a poor UI
I live in a third world country and my sat retake centre had no air conditioning,only one bathroom and the clocks were incorrect.I scored lower on my retake and the makeup they offered me was after my college deadlines passed.

Video:is longer than 60 seconds
Me:there was a glitch in the universe
That thumbnail is really fun to look at
Gotta love how the first SAT I took I got one question wrong on the math section. If I took it literally a year eariler I would've had a perfect score ;(.
Remember kids, college board makes tens of millions a year in pure profit (nearly a billion a year in net profit) but they can still be designated as Not-For-Profit.
This guy seems so nice and genuine. I love him
Great video! :D
Thank you!! : )
How ironic is that I got an ad for ACT on this video?
Even UA-cam doesn't like College Board ; )
😂😂😂😂😂
They do give you like 4 free chances to send your scores... but only until 9 days after you receive your marks 😂🤷♂️
Lol that’s such a troll thing for them to do 😂
Oh, and lets not forget to lobby the state into convincing them that ALL high school kids should take the test during a school day... that way make use of the existing teacher staff to proctor and not have to pay someone. What a bonus!! Get the state to buy SATs for EVERY kid in 11th grade AND have the tests proctored on the school district's dime! College Board at its best!
I wish college board would see this video
You nailed it, man! Awesome! ROFL. 😂😂
Just took the apush test, it's definitely a monopoly. 100 dollars for that test is outrageous
College Board: "We are gonna gain so much profit and go to a Justin Bieber concert."
Covid-19: "Hello there."
I wish more universities made the SAT and the ACT optional since we all know that college board is pulling strings
At most colleges it is optional. 2/3rds of colleges don’t require it. By 2025 it is expected that colleges won’t be giving out the SAT or ACT.
As a student, collegeboard is so dumbed down. I am using their textbook, and I genuinely enjoy math, but seriously, this is about as educational in math as a crosswords puzzle is education in english. Too much work, too little learned.
So this answers the question about the secret tie-up between entrance exam agencies and colleges.
College Board: “Shady R’ Us.”
Literally failed my AP theory exam bc it was June 2020 and College board doesn't know how to make a decent online test. They gave me half the time but charged full price, and unlike the finals and other important exams, never offered a retake for students who were unfairly graded due to a poor UI
Not even lying. This years score was 200 points lower than my first one, everyone's score was way lower than previous tests. Tough luck man.
I live in a third world country and my sat retake centre had no air conditioning,only one bathroom and the clocks were incorrect.I scored lower on my retake and the makeup they offered me was after my college deadlines passed.
