PLEASE STAY ON TOPIC! WE ALL KNOW THE LIMITATIONS OF THE SAT TO PREDICT COLLEGE SUCCESS (ZIP CODE HAS MUCH BETTER SUCCESS). WE ALSO KNOW THAT MANY COLLEGES HAVE GONE SAT "TEST OPTIONAL" SO IT MAY BE A NON-ISSUE FOR ADMITTANCE BUT STILL COSTS $ TO ADMINISTER.

The PSAT (P=Practice) was given by "not-for-profit" College Board today. Many PUBLIC high schools "go remote" for Seniors & Freshman & only test takers report. These same PUBLIC schools then provide FREE labor, utilities & rent free space today AND again when they administer +30 Subject AP exams in May.

The College Board receives revenue around $500 million every year from AP exams and other related materials with $90 million of that coming from PUBLIC schools.

The College Board has profit margins of roughly 14%. Therefore, in 2020, the College Board made $150 – $160 million in profits. The College Board also has over $1.1 billion in cash and investments according to public records. The President of the College Board makes over $1 million dollars a year while several of its executives make $300K to $500K a year in salary.
