<p>Of course, the question now is -- is Collegeboard a coercive monopoly or a natural monopoly? Should you ever make this remark on the FRQ? (In the "this is Sparta!" style)</p>

<p>i get it :)</p>

<p>^lol, man I never thought of that, shoulda made refrence to it on the Free response in Micro, ah well.</p>

<p>LOL! very funny. and true =)</p>

5

<p>Wow, I never thought about that. Yeah, that is pretty funny.</p>

6

<p>Funny. I think it's a coercive monopoly if you ask me...</p>

7

<p>Yeah, definitely coercive. There are other companies that I'm sure would like to take a big chunk of the standardized testing market, but the College Board probably tries to drive them out.</p>

<p>The ACT is probably their main competitor. I wouldn't go as far to call it a 100% monopoly (maybe a duopoly haha), it just depends on what perspective you take. This is an interesting read: Paly</a> Voice: College Board monopoly contradicts American ideals</p>

<p>About</a> the College Board</p>

<p>"The College Board is a not-for-profit membership association whose mission is to connect students to college success and opportunity."</p>

<p>HAHA</p>
