Thanks, Mike

@passwaterb @jennthetutor @JohnNatBaker @AP_Trevor @USNewsEducation Here's a data analysis from the College Boards data from their fall exam ordering pilot a few years ago https://t.co/DkaZSIHorq

#APStudents and #APTeachers - Are you curious about the "Not for Profit" College Board's finances and what they do with all the exam fees they collect? Check out a summary of CB's finances from the past 13 years at https://t.co/TmcN68UyBf #APExams #SATMemes

[Mike Elings @mikeelings]

@Collegewise @CollegeBoard The College Board checked with their finance department and determined that since they have over 1 Billion in cash and investments they do not need to charge for the SAT so all future exams will be free.

@Rosanna11371883 @DohertySpartans @CSSD11 @CollegeBoard This is a very cool visualization and the data available by clicking on a state and then looking at counties is very interesting. It makes it clearer why the aren't able to call some states yet.

[Mike Elings @mikeelings]

@babadookspinoza What is really amazing with this data is the averages that are higher than the total score available. I am not sure about the accuracy of this data ;-)

[Mike Elings @mikeelings]

This may add a few laughs to your day.

[Mike Elings @mikeelings]

@MrDavidQuinn @AP_Trevor @CollegeBoard The short answer is yes and from their 990 filing, they make generate ~ $100M/year doing so. Here's CB's page about "licensing" student data https://t.co/lC0M0rBD60. The used to provide more info with the cost being $0.47/record.

@AP_Trevor Hi Trevor - Thanks for the update. Good to know as I was at the big announcement at the AP Annual Conference a few years back and this did not seem like a temporary partnership at the time.

[Mike Elings @mikeelings]

@AP_Trevor @loricolan Does the info in this press release from 2017 no longer hold true? https://t.co/HxfQ5jbLhW @khanacademy

[Mike Elings @mikeelings]

@Jenfrain1 @CollegeBoard Who did you pay?

[Mike Elings @mikeelings]

@Jenfrain1 @CollegeBoard So the schools should take on more costs by hiring more proctors, disinfecting more rooms, etc. to administer the CB's exam.

Did you pay the school or the CB for the exam? You should talk to whoever you paid.

[Mike Elings @mikeelings]

@Jenfrain1 @CollegeBoard Not if they will be putting everyone at risk.

More and more colleges and universities are become test optional. This may be the beginning of the end for SAT and ACT.

[Mike Elings @mikeelings]

@Jenfrain1 @CollegeBoard That is for the College Board to figure out. They have $1.1 Billion in cash reserves and investments. CB makes most of the money. Being a test site is not a money maker.

Every day, more schools are moving online for the beginning of school.

@ErinSchiafone @adchempages @bandetaiwo @AP_Trevor I am listening. Love it or hate it, Twitter is a public forum. I have read that some Colleges and Universities are reevaluating their AP credit policies due to validity concerns of the shortened, reduced scope, online exams. But many, of course, saw that coming.
