Educational Records Bureau (ERB) is a private, American educational nonprofit organization that provides standardized tests for both admissions (entrance exams) and annual assessments for 2,000 private and selective public schools during pre-K to grade 12.
ERB was founded in 1927, and is headquartered in New York City with over 2000 member schools globally.
The organization is governed by a dedicated board of trustees.
ERB was mentioned in a New York Times article in 2011 after about 7000 (or 17%) of tested students had incorrect scores due to an error in use of a scoring key. Commenting on the effect in the New York Times, David F. Clune, president of ERB, stated, “It is a lesson we all learn at some point — that life isn’t fair.”[1] Errors in scoring had affected a smaller number of students at other testing organizations, most notably with an error in the scoring of 4000 students in the October 2005 administration of the SAT.[2]
