The College Board has long been instrumental in shaping the educational landscape in the United States through its standardized testing and college readiness assessments, such as the SAT and Advanced Placement (AP) exams. However, there are growing concerns that the College Board is engaging in anti-competitive behaviors that may be harming students rather than helping them. These concerns have reached a point where the intervention of the Attorney General of Maryland is critical.

Evidence suggests that the College Board may be using its dominant position to stifle competition, potentially violating antitrust laws. The cost of taking these exams has risen significantly over the years, creating substantial financial barriers for many students in Maryland. According to the College Board's own data, the cost of the SAT has increased by approximately 50% over the last decade. Many students are forced to take on extra work or forgo other necessities to afford these exams, which are often a requirement for college admissions.

Moreover, there are concerns about the accessibility and fairness of these exams. In recent years, scandals involving the security of exam questions being compromised have disproportionately affected disadvantaged communities, exacerbating educational inequities. The College Board's practices raise significant ethical and legal questions about how these exams are administered and who truly benefits from them.

Concrete action is needed to ensure that all students in Maryland have fair and equitable access to college readiness resources. The Attorney General of Maryland should investigate the College Board's practices to determine if antitrust laws have been violated and take necessary legal action to protect the interests of students.

Sign this petition to demand that the Attorney General of Maryland rigorously investigates the College Board for potentially harmful practices against students and ensures accountability and fairness in educational testing.
