SAT: If College Board Was Honest

Ever wonder why you have to pay so much for SAT fees, AP exam fees, score report fees, etc? What if College Board told you the truth? Here’s my take on why College Board does what they do.

P.S: This video is satire.

If you're reading this, hi! I'm ShivVZG, a Sophomore at the University of Southern California. I'm on a journey to critique every single aspect of the educational system in a satirical and playful manner.

The most underrated joke of the video is the fact he decided to use “customers” instead of “students”

[as.]

You’re not allowed to leak College Board’s security cam footage

[rajdeepvilluri]

The college board is the EA of education.

[trangnhinguyen]

I think the educational system as a whole is turning into a form of business

[ryancasey]

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?

[haneefibrahim]

Lol watching this after College Board got sued for the 2020 Online AP Exams.

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?

Literally got a 770 on the Math Section after missing one question --__--

suffer a "lil" bit lol 0:34
college board: ya having fun studying SAT?
me: oh yah AbSolUTely
SAT: as used in line 2, AbSolUTely most nearly means?

The 5 dislikes are the college board board of directors

We need to pull a French Revolution on Collegeboard

[blakestrand]

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

[Aerocraft-mqrn]

What if the College Board gets ideas from this video... Nice vid

[EnderHeart]

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.

[marioronci]

Brilliant lol, "not opposed to making our customers suffer"

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.

[vithederg]

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.

[ALLHEART_]

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.

wow, I feel so attacked. How dare you speak the truth

[neurofiedyamato]

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.
