Description
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...
show moreLove 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 :)
