Why You ll Probably Fail the SATs | Dark History with Bailey Sarian

Hi friends, happy Thursday! Welcome to the Dark History podcast. Okay, so we can’t talk about SATs and college admission without mentioning Aunt Becky, remember that whole thing? But Aunt Becky wasn’t the first person ever to use money to help her kid get into college. Far from it. And there is one element of college admissions where there is a lot of money floating around, too much money. I mean we’re talking billion-dollar industry money. It s the SATs baby. In today’s episode, we look into the history of the SATs, how it started, why we have it, why there’s so much money in it, and try to figure out who the f is even on The College Board. Who is it??? I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History. Want some cool Bailey Merch?
