Gizmodo’s tests find the College Board website shares GPAs, SAT scores, and other information with Facebook and TikTok via tracking pixels. The College Board has a years-long history of sharing and selling student data.

They asked if I had a degree in theoretical physics. I said I had a theoretical degree in physics. They said when can you start?
