About the Team</b></p></div><div><p>
The College Board Operations division manages the digital test delivery process for millions of students each year. Our Assessment Delivery Operations (ADO) team is primarily responsible for managing and overseeing the successful execution of digital assessments like the SAT and Advanced Placement examinations. Among its many responsibilities, ADO ensures that test sites meet security and network requirements, test proctors are credentialed and trained to administer tests consistently and fairly, students arrive on test day with the correct documents and testing materials, and that testing issues are promptly addressed. Our team plays a critical and essential role in the success of students and educators before, during, and after test day. And, due to its central role in supporting College Board&rsquo;s mission, ADO works closely with partners and stakeholders across College Board, the education sector, and beyond to shape and improve testing technologies, customer experience, and testing outcomes.</p></div><p></p><div><p><br>
