Einstein got through it just fine. They were required to use their school-issued Chromebooks.

According to my junior, there was an announcement on the PA that logins might be glitchy, but they should keep trying.

I gather some testing rooms started later than others, though. My kid's finished pretty much on schedule, but they were held until the rest of the testing was complete. But it wasn't a huge delay, maybe 15 minutes.

The president of the college board should be fired. What a waste of everyone’s time and resources.

We heard directly from our school that there were issues. And then a second notification that they were going to reschedule.

Not true in Frederick County (not sure why it would be different in MCPS). My kid is a freshman and took it today.

Then either the PP is lying or is in private and posting on an MCPS thread.

Due to the ongoing issues with the testing platform that is preventing many schools from accessing the test and the Bluebook App glitching even for students who were able to access the test, we are stopping all testing at this time. We will collaborate with schools to identify another testing date.


Not all. DC's school sent out a message saying they were able to complete testing.

That's not true. Our school made it available to all students. 10th graders were registered automatically and paid for by MCPS. 9th, 11th, and 12th graders could choose to take it but had to pay the registration fees.


Yes, it was the same at our high school as well.

Or a pushy parent got an exception for their "exceptional" child. Happens all the time in MCPS.

Why has MCPS not put out some kind of districtwide message about this yet? Why are we hearing about this from our kids and not our schools?
