Every year since I was a wee freshman, CollegeBoard slaps in the face with fees for AP exams. This time, I decided to research why CollegeBoard charges so much money for a single test and why exactly it exists. In the process, I learn about how CollegeBoard works, their "non-profit" status, amongst other things.

Love getting slapped in the face again finding out that 52.7% of students failed the AP Lit exam in 2018. Not a sign of a good system.
Hope you learn something from this ep :)
