We need to abolish Collegeboard and National Honor Society

[randomconversations]

if we get an A in the class than we should just get college credit without talking a dumb exam. period.

[chloekim]

they should just cancel or make all exams online... what even is this

[bowbookbike]

They shouldn't make international students take the exam at night. I wouldn't want to take an exam at 3am. That's unfair and may affect their performance.

[amplewarrior]

Good stuff, didn’t realize how harsh the differences would be between digital and in person

[joymanzano]

how they gonna test the full content when we not even gonna make it through the content in online school...

[arulsrivastava]

Why can't college board just let us live

[miriamb]

If my school picks the digital exam I’ll cry. It puts students at an extreme disadvantage to not be able to go back and edit questions. Good test takers don’t do tests in exact numerical order. Good test takers skip questions and come back. Good test takers review and check their work. My whole strategy for MC questions is out the window.

[livgoodforgod]

Thank you for this helpful video! It answered a lot of questions I had. I appreciate you guys taking the time to help students like me. ☺️

[samirazuniga]

Anyone know how to cancel the exam for this year? WHat process do I do?

[abdnour]

I am from Algeria and I don't find school in my country what I can do??

[victoriawojcik]

I was wondering if anyone knows what the color coded bars are that signify the next question mean? I noticed it in the practice for AP Lang. There’s yellow, grey, and blue. Maybe one signifies an analysis question? another color for inference? I’m not sure. Knowing might help out a bit with the test considering we can’t look at past questions online.

[icefreak]

whatever I'm a senior anyway I'm cancelling all my exams it's not like they'll be much credit anyway 💀

[marcosvazquez]

If your school decides to make an exam digital, but you wanted to take the exam in person at school, can you take the exam at another school where they offer the in person paper exam?

[ahmedashour]

Hello,
Is any of SAT, ACT, or AP exams are required for international students' admission? I have read that some universities made SAT optional, however, I don't know if AP would be required instead of SAT?

[pleasecatchforusthefoxes]

started stress crying over this not gonna lie

[elainagarvinbriant]

Our son could not get his registration to work on the CB site and his teachers at school could not help. Now that the deadline is passed, we are STILL not getting help from his high school vice principle or counselor. Is there anything we can do to register him now with marco learning?

[victoriawojcik]

The differences between online and in person are so unfair. For all of our educational lives, we were taught to skip the harder questions first, so you don’t waste time trying to answer them, and efficiently use your time by answering the easy ones first. People in person will get that luxury, and online testers will be forced to guess on a hard question because they can’t risk wasting more time on a single question. In the end, online and in-person scores are waited the same. Even though the in-person test had an advantage by going back to questions they skipped or already answered.

[jom]

Is the decision school-by-school or by district? Also, can the decision be split between different tests or do ALL have to be one format per the decision of the school/district?

[rafayteck]

I have a question, if I wanted to refund an exam, as there is no fee for it, how would I go about doing that?
