[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the anti-corporate;anti-Pearson sentiment completely.

Brace yourselves for college prep and application process during which you will fuel the College Board's seemingly bottomless bank account with SAT testing fees. You will then voluntarily tell the College Board every last detail about your family's finances through its CSS Profile (required by about 300 colleges and universities.)

You may also pay the ACT corporation for the right to test your kid. And, then, you'll pay all these entities AGAIN for them to send your information to the colleges your kid may want to attend.  Just trying to till the earth a bit that the fight against the corporatization of educational testing extends through every tentacle of the U.S. system.[/quote]

You forgot the fees to have the CSS sent to colleges and for AP scores to be sent where you are enrolling (after you have paid to take the exams).

Thankfully very low-income students can get waivers but that’s a tiny number. [/quote]
