SAT: If College Board Was Honest 

Should all high schoolers and coming high schoolers start a reform and boycott SAT’s. I know this would take time but any thoughts.

bruh, missing only one question and getting a 770 on math. Hit too close to home bro. too far

oh so you like Justin Bieber, I like his songs too

#nobieberforcollegeboard

More like: #cancelminecraftbecausetheydontobeythelawsofthermodynamics

imo that is probably exactly what they do in internal meetings

Thats just true thou. Do they even teach you anything to make you their student.

@@madelinejester633 I'm a high school teacher and can confirm that behind closed doors administrators refer to students and their parents as customers. They give us trainings on "customer service." I wish I were making that up

Lol

The sad thing is it’s not a joke it’s the truth

Spot on

Pearson, too.

Facts

The e and a in education stand for EA

@@rgbill5948 *woke* *100*

it is one, a poorly run one

dont think .....it is happening

Turning into? That’s a laugh and a half. Someone’s behind the curve.

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

it is called the education industry

^^^^^^^^

one of the perks of being a profit maximizing monopoly

That is a brilliant observation. The answer is yes, it is weird and highly unethical.

I love eating cubes

Not at all. Much like the medical field, there's little money in curing a patient.

😂

Wait is that true?

Lol

@@ShivVZG dudes gonna get suicided

😂😂😂😂

xD

What???

@@michellel.8440 Yeah I wanna know more about this too

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!

"Nonprofit" :P

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.

@@hunterkohler3697 That does not make me hate them any less

Hunter Kohler Yep, basically ass

ShivVZG I think they’re referring to the students.

It’s literally so bs lmao

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?

Sobhan Bihan exactly, they make so much money for bs

I hope you get in!

amazing dude!! what about ur reading band?

Parker my 14 year old brother got a 1500 first try sat is a joke 😂😂😂😂

@@undergroundbeats6418 Wow, that's crazy! However, I am only human and not a child prodigy. I wish though :)

@@Aya-ld2dk I got a 700 on Reading, so I would've gotten a 1500 if I didn't miss that one question lol

I missed one question on the Reading & Writing section and got a 760 T T

😂 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

A) certainly. B) definitely. C) indubitably. D) exactly.

@@advaitramesh164 A is my answer Edit: wrong answer I think it's d?

@@advaitramesh164 B B B B B

@@advaitramesh164 i go for c

Hahaha they better not :P And thank u!

I am down to burn that organization from the top down

“Don’t you dare use my spells against me”.

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.

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

So it's made by Electronic Arts.

Wait how did you do it without the colleges knowing? Asking for a friend

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

Linden Salter I’d recommend you just go through college board though because most colleges will probably notice and tell u to do that anyways

@@blakestrand7645 You said 3 out of 5 colleges didn't notice. What about the 2/5 though? What happened?

@@blakestrand7645 Also, did you use CommonApp or Coliation for College when submitting your SAT scores?

I feel u bro, I know someone who got 3 or 4 wrong overall and got a 1510

; )

:P

Autism Speaks is also a “nonprofit,” and they;re one of the shadiest businesses you’ll ever see in your life.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...please tell me you're kidding

@@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

whatever name Oh, wow. ...Lemme guess, AS doesn’t accept autistic people for internships? lmao

Ayyyy thanks Tax! xD I wonder if College Board feels the same :P

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...

@@DomainAspect It's possible that colleges will disregard the SAT eventually (some colleges are starting to do that like Uchicago) so who knows!

xD I legit only knew that -4 for 780 math curve cuz of you haha! Nowadays they have -1 for 770 math curves it's insane. College board is ruthless

@@ShivVZG can confirm, got that on my SAT, sooooo glad that I checked my answers and changed my answer to that one question

I agree. It's hard to do your best in a system you hate.

@@serenalizinnqui8474 Exactly.

You can just go to colleges which do not necessarily accept SAT or ACT.

@@arsalahmed2463 They are few and far between, and I don't know about their quality.

just use it as motivation to get 1600 and beat da system that was made to make u fail

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.

It’s not SUPER common to get a -1 for 770 math curve. Just focus on the questions and not your score. You got this bro!

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.

murica no 1 baby

Thank you! xD

hahaha it's okay, I still had fun makin it xD

It's meant to be funny but it's also really sad too haha Sorry you had to go through that!

hahaha glad you liked it bro! xD I've been wanting to give College Board a piece of my mind for awhile now :P

😔 sorry man

Lol that’s such a troll thing for them to do 😂

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

@@ShivVZG Are you joking? 😂 We learnt these back in early secondary bro 😭

I got one more year then I’m out if hs and this bs really pisses me off. Literally school favors people who don’t do extracurricular shoot and have no hobbies at all and have nothing better to do then stack ap classes

and also for you don't judge me *you're 😂

lol dw i still make that mistake too sometimes xD

@Mak Attack2o2 forreal

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.

First four reports are free. After that it's $12 USD per report.

What are you scoring in each section rn and what score are you aiming for?

@@ShivVZG Rn i'm getting like a 1100 and I want to try to get it to a 1200 or higher

Okay you can do it this for sure. Focus mainly on math and writing. Learn ALL the grammar rules first. I used college panda writing prep book but if you find a free source, that works too. For math, use khan academy and do the lessons (free). Grind hard these next two weeks but don’t study at all night before test. Get sleep two days before exam and day before exam

just don't bother lol. unless you like getting jerked around. I mean, you'll figure it out years later, but hopefully you'll have found something that is more rewarding and stimulating to even think to realize it.....right? eh, im just tired and not happy...you go do you. Just know, when you're young, you're willing to put spins on a spin to spin something new (that's the spin). But when you're older, you just don't have the time for such malarky. there's alot of people who are going to try to foil you just so they get one step ahead while you're figuring shit out. 3kindsapeople in the world, those that make shit happen, those that watch shit happen, and those that are trying to figure out wtf just happened....don't be number 3 (

How are you doing now did you get in
