<p>yes I know that non profit doesnt mean that all expenses are dedicated toward the purpose. If the ceo truly believed in “non-profit” at least to an extent, he/she wouldn’t ask for such a big pay check.</p>
<p>Looks like they canceled the August test. Good job everyone who spoke up. I would love a summer test for my kids, but not limited to those who take a $4,500 prep class. ACT and SAT would do very well with a summer test for all. </p>

<p>Non-profit tax exempt status does, however, require that the organization operates to fulfill a certain purpose. Further, and more importantly for the College Board, a non-profit cannot unreasonably compensate its executives or operate to substantially fulfill a purpose that doesn’t qualify for a tax exemption.</p>
<p>The problem with the College Board is that its purpose has veered far more toward paying its employees than education. It doesn’t deserve a tax exemption.</p>
<p>And as for rich people wasting their money on prep, let them. It’s their money. They have the right to spend it. Especially since prep is ultimately not all that useful or necessary. I got my 36 without prep.</p>
<p>The real problem with this is that the summer test was exclusive to this program, and the deeper problem with the standardized testing system is that wealth provides such a significant advantage.</p>
