College Board's Million-Dollar Salaries Don't Fix Their Broken Digital Exams
2025-05-23
The College Board, administrator of the SAT and AP exams, boasts hefty executive compensation—$2.38 million for the CEO in 2023, and hundreds of thousands for senior VPs. Ironically, their transition to digital-only exams for 28 AP courses has been plagued with issues. A nationwide outage of the Bluebook testing app during the AP Psychology exam left thousands of students stranded, forced to wait in freezing gymnasiums for a fix. The incident sparked outrage on Reddit, highlighting a glaring disconnect between lavish executive pay and inadequate technical preparedness.
