DescFocused Assessments The College Board is committed to delivering focused, clear, and useful assessments that offer students real benefits and reflect what they're already learning in class. College Board assessments provide benchmarks and consistent feedback for measuring student progress over time, allowing teachers to accelerate students who are ahead and help those who are behind. Fee waivers and discounts of $95 million were provided to underrepresented students during 2015. Redesigned SAT + PSAT/NMSQT: These exams focus on the skills and knowledge that evidence shows is necessary for college and career success. SAT: 1.7 million students in the class of 2015 took the SAT: 32.5% of test-takers were minority students. More than 850,000 students signed up to access free Official SAT Practice resources provided by the College Board and Khan Academy. The PSAT/NMSQT was taken by over 4.0 million students in over 24,000 schools. More than 76.0 million people visited the College Board's website to access free information on college preparation and access. College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) is the most widely accepted credit-by-examination program, available at 2,900 colleges and universities. It enables students of all ages and backgrounds to earn college credit by demonstrating their mastery of college-level material.Desc

DescAP, Instruction and Personalized Practice The College Board's unique instruction offerings play a key role in preparing students for success in college and career. SpringBoard: SpringBoard's research-based English Language Arts and Mathematics curricula are designed to prepare students for success in Advanced Placement courses, college, and career. Students in 2,507 schools across 608 school districts participated in SpringBoard during the 2014-15 school year. Advanced Placement Program: Founded in 1955, AP gives students the opportunity to perform college-level work in high school; students who succeed in AP are more likely to succeed in college and can potentially save time and money through placement and credit-granting policies. 1,542,620 11th and 12th grade public school students took AP in 2015, an increase of 4.4% from last year. Free Personalized Practice: We are committed to leveling the playing field by providing all students with free, personalized PSAT/NMSQT and SAT practice resources. The College Board has partnered with Khan Academy to offer free, personalized, interactive test practice materials for the PSAT/NMSQT and SAT. After the launch of Official SAT Practice on Khan Academy on June 2, 2015, more than 850,000 students signed up to access free, personalized tools to help them prepare for test day. Each student was able to access a personalized study plan, which included thousands of interactive questions with instant feedback, video lessons, full-length practice tests, and more. Students' PSAT/NMSQT scores are used to create personalized practice for each student. AP Potential: A free web-based tool that helps educators increase access to AP by using PSAT/NMSQT score data to identify students with the potential to succeed in AP. Last year, more than 9,500 unique users accessed this tool to find more AP-ready students.Desc

DescCollege Enrollment & Career Opportunities The College Board is increasing opportunities and breaking down barriers to college through expanded access to AP courses and scholarships, and fee waivers for all who need them. . All In: This campaign is designed to ensure that 100 percent of African American, Latino, and Native American students enroll in at least one AP class for which they've shown potential to succeed. Realize Your College Potential: In September 2015, we delivered personalized, actionable information about the college application process to approximately 26,000 high-achieving low-income students. Apply to 4 or More: Our Apply to 4 or More campaign encourages students to apply to at least four colleges and increases the chances that they'll enroll and succeed in a college that is a good fit for them. Packets of college planning information were mailed to approximately 87,000 academically on-track low-income students in the class of 2015. An additional 92,000 on-track low-income students in the class of 2015 received college planning information via email. Expanded scholarship opportunities: The College Board has partnered with the American Indian Graduate Center (AIGC), Asian & Pacific Islander American Scholarship Fund (APIASF), Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF), Jack Kent Cooke Foundation (JKCF), and United Negro College Fund (UNCF) to expand access to nearly $180 million in scholarship dollars to low-income and underrepresented students. By using information from the PSAT/NMSQT to enhance recruitment efforts, AIGC, APIASF, HSF, JKCF, and UNCF will have access to a better representation of eligible students from high schools across the country. College Application Fee Waivers: Every eligible senior gets four college application fee waivers, which may be used to apply to 2,000 participating colleges. During 2015, nearly 165,000 students have accessed college application fee waivers online using their personal College Board accounts. Student Search Service: introduces students to higher education and financial aid opportunities by providing a way for them to give personal and preferential information to colleges and scholarship programs that are looking for students like them - all at no cost to the student. 85.5% of eligible students in the graduating class of 2015 opted into Student Search Service at least once while in high school, up from 84.9% in the graduating class of 2014. CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE is used by nearly 350 organizations to help manage the financial aid process efficiently and equitably and to award need-based aid to the students who need it most. The College Board is expanding career opportunity by giving students better planning tools and helping them develop the skills that matter most for jobs of the future, including science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), and coding. Focus on STEM Disciplines: STEM disciplines are essential to our nation's ability to compete in the global marketplace. The redesigned SAT's math and analysis questions are grounded in science, social science, career scenarios, and other real-world contexts. AP STEM Access Program: We have partnered with Google and DonorsChoose.org to create the AP STEM Access program. This goal of this program is to increase the number of underrepresented minority and female high school students who take AP courses in STEM disciplines. 307 schools participated in the AP STEM Access (APSA) program during the 2014-15 school year, starting 193 new AP classes in 433 AP subjects. Students took 11,076 AP STEM Exams through this program in May 2015.Desc

ExplanationDeferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Board recognizes in the financial statements only those tax positions determined to be more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the positions under the presumption that the taxing authorities have full knowledge of all relevant facts. The determination of which tax positions are more likely than not of being sustained requires the use of significant judgments and estimates by management, which may or may not be borne out by actual results. As of December 31, 2015, the Board had no reserves for uncertain tax provisions.ExplanationTxt
