College Board online SAT course FREE: 69$ value

02 Aug

Posted by Sam Jackson as College Board, Internets

Courtesy my deal-trawling over at SlickDeals.net I’ve turned this up for anyone reading. The College Board offers an online SAT course which normally costs 69$ dollars, a terrible value, I’d say.

This is College Board’s OFFICIAL SAT Online course. Which includes…

* Interactive instruction organized into 18 lessons
* Personalized score reports
* 6 official practice tests and hundreds of practice questions
* Automated essay scoring

plus some other stuff I’d hope / assume. If you go here,
https://satonlinecourse.collegeboard…choolLogin.jsp
and then make a new account using one of these codes, you get the online course for free. Worth the five minutes to register, maybe? I might try it out and review it later to see what I think of it. Intended apparently for Georgia residents only? it works everywhere. Slightly questionable utility, but some might find it helpful.

The codes:
110040, 110058, 113268, 112094, 112230, 111960, 110010, 110040, 110897, 110058, 110073, 110065, 110277, 112365, 110277, 110095, 110335, 112094, 110794, 111825, 110340, 110280, 110550, 112745, 110603, 110615, 110823, 111228, 112623, 110604, 112245, 112245, 112920, 110650, 110695, 110698, 111043, 110825, 111100, 111265, 110970, 110044, 112040

So:

Click the above link to go to the SAT online course site
Input one of the above codes
Register a new account, or you could use your current one… though paranoia would have you register a new one.
Sign up for whichever courses you like.
Ta da!

Enjoy…
Update: folks I tested this out on Tuesday August 8th and it was still quite alive, so it’s still working. I will be sampling the College Board’s online wares in the near future and will report back to you on it all…

Update: It looks like, as of 11/1/07, it no longer works. Sorry all!

I don’t think it falls into the lawbreaking category, but maybe the unintended-use ones. Maybe it violates their ToS, I don’t know–but I don’t think the law. I would make it on a new account just in case they decided they didn’t like random people using the codes, but obviously it’s a year later and we haven’t heard of any issues. Who knows.

Ah, no idea. But again, this has been up here since last year, and no one has reported any issues, so I wouldn’t panic.

Hi.. I found your blog, and I’m not your usual reader. I am an adult, but young enough to still remember college and whatnot.

I think you should really reconsider your stance on what you are posting here. I know that it is easy and natural to hate the collegeboard — it is like hating the IRS — but taking something without paying for it is stealing. Take a look here http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070719/ap_on_fe_st/generous_slot_machine and http://apnews.myway.com/article/20070728/D8QLG4OO0.html for recent stories on people possibly be prosecuted for simply ‘taking advantage’ of something broken.

Moreover, this just doesn’t reflect well on you. You are a Yale student? This isn’t ethical. What if it got back to your school somehow? What does this say about you — that you have no problem using loopholes to get revenge on an entity? Do you use old school exams in the same way, even if the professor has made a demonstrable effort to keep them locked up?

I know it can be fun to “stick it to the man”, so to speak, but by doing it in a forum where there is a record, someone may use it against you. It’s not ethical for them to invade your privacy, either, but once they know, they know and cannot forget. That’s not even mentioning the fact that you are enabling people to steal. Argue with that point if you will, but please consider the public image part.

re: someoneolder- I don’t know what the considerations for any liabilities would be on this. I don’t endorse it and I never myself used it. I am not encouraging people to sign up for this or any college board things as ‘revenge’ against some perceived slight… it is publicly available information that I’m sharing with my readers who seem to have found it useful over the last year. No one has demonstrated that it is illegal or ’stealing’ to any extent. Can you produce evidence to that effect?

Who is Sam Jackson?

I'm currently a sophomore at Yale University and I've been blogging about college admissions and higher education marketing trends since I began my college application process in 2005. I now also write about my experience here at Yale, and am an official Yale blogger. Click here to read my 'about' page.

Kind words about my blog:

Andrew Careaga calls it “a service to all of us in the higher ed marketing business.”

Christian Long says it has “dramatically inspired college admissions folks to take notice”

Bob Johnson says “I like [it] because I agree with so much of what he says.” and that “Paying attention what Sam writes will let you focus more closely on students who will actually attend your school.”

Karine Joly says my witty and fresh style “offers a rare glimpse at the mind of our elusive prospective students”

and TargetX calls my blog “good reading” and me “wise-beyond-my-years.”
