AP exam scheduling is a massive headache for every coordinator. 😵‍💫 I built a local-first, privacy-focused tool to help make room assignments and proctor scheduling actually manageable.
Test Pilot Beta is live and 100% free—no “College Board” vibes here. https://t.co/y95x9YKIGX

Think you need to be a coder to build apps for your school counseling program? Think again. 🚫💻
Watch me use Google #Gemini to build custom tools like a College Cost Analyzer & AP Exam Scheduler in minutes using natural language. 🤯

@FA_PGMOL var is horrible. Terrible missed call (shocker) in Everton match. That's an easy pen - called every time against us and never for us.... Horrid

AI is so cool. I was tired of the clunky and ugly academic plan available on @AeriesSIS so I vibecoded my own using @boltdotnew - counselors - check it out:

@CollegeBoard @USChamber @Nissan @WellsFargo Perhaps one of them will figure out how you manage to keep your "non-profit" status with your 2 Billion in assets and monopoly on education.

[Jeff Ream (The Counseling Geek) @CounselingGeek]

I've been vibe coding with @boltdotnew recently and it's been really interesting building a course request planning tool for my school.

AI and ChatGPT has developed so much more - but this post still has tons of great nuggets - especially for beginners in AI. I hope to get an updated post out with some of the latest, greatest and new tools by the end of the summer.

@CollegeBoard today was pretty bad. What's worse? Not even acknowledging it, apologizing to students and your free workforce and bending over backwards to make it right. Students impacted should not only test for free - but should be compensated for their time. #scchat #APpsych

[Jeff Ream (The Counseling Geek) @CounselingGeek]

Hey @CollegeBoard - get your s&$* together. Your email today is absurd. Not our problem - you need to deal with your lack of proper planning and platform testing. You need us more than we need you.

If you're a high school or independent counselor wanting to show confused parents the reality of college admission (to 2023), you can use the two views here to (maybe?) help.

#College Board shows standard monopolist customer service in botched March #SAT. Program submitted math section before students finished. CB let kids cancel whole score but not keep unaffected verbal. CB needs to be regulated as a utility or broken up. https://t.co/WJrgZFVgVX

College Board screws up the technology, then screws up the solution. As they do.

These are the people who get to decide which high school graduates are "smart."

@VandyAdmissions hosted a great second half of our fly in last evening and today. We got great insights into selective admissions and were treated like kings and queens. Thank you @STARSCollegeNet #scchat @WashUAdmissions

[Jeff Ream (The Counseling Geek) @CounselingGeek]

Nice crisp morning getting ready to start the @WashU portion of the fly in. Dropped a few bucks at the campus store
