1. A parent wants to use AI to help plan a college tour. What should they expect AI to handle most effectively?

   1. Predicting which school will offer the most financial aid
   2. Booking flights and hotels based on the teen's expressed preferences
   3. Replacing conversations with current students at each campus
   4. Determining which college their teen will ultimately choose

2. The lesson warns that AI may 'push prestige proxies.' What does this mean for parents using AI to plan college tours?

   1. AI could automatically reject safety schools from the itinerary
   2. AI may prioritize public universities over private ones
   3. AI might favor schools with high rankings over factors like fit and cost
   4. AI might recommend schools primarily based on athletic programs

3. A parent has used AI to generate a list of questions to ask during campus visits. Why is it still important to have conversations with current students?

   1. The university requires signatures from students before AI can access information
   2. AI has already captured all relevant information about student experience
   3. AI-generated questions are not allowed to be asked during official tours
   4. Current students can provide insights about daily life that AI cannot predict

4. What is the PRIMARY purpose of including a nightly 10-minute reflection prompt during a multi-day college tour?

   1. To give the parent time to update the travel itinerary
   2. To generate more questions for the next day's visits
   3. To help the teen process and articulate their feelings about each campus
   4. To ensure the teen completes homework assignments from school

5. A parent asks an AI tool to predict which college on their list will give their teen the best financial aid package. What should the parent expect from this request?

   1. An accurate estimate of net cost for each school
   2. A detailed breakdown of expected scholarships and grants
   3. AI cannot make this prediction reliably
   4. A comparison of tuition costs across all schools

6. The lesson describes a 5-day college tour itinerary visiting 3 schools in the Northeast. How many student-focused questions should be generated for each campus visit?

   1. Six questions per visit
   2. Ten questions per visit
   3. One comprehensive question covering all aspects
   4. Three questions per visit

7. A teen visits a college that AI ranked highly based on prestige metrics but feels uncomfortable walking around campus. What does the lesson advise?

   1. Schedule a second visit and rely on AI to analyze the difference
   2. Prioritize the teen's feelings as the decision ultimately depends on their experience
   3. Trust the AI ranking over the teen's feelings since it's based on data
   4. Ask the AI to generate more questions to resolve the discomfort

8. Which of the following is listed in the lesson as something AI does WELL for college tour planning?

   1. Calculating expected family contribution for financial aid
   2. Telling the teen which school fits them best
   3. Generating good questions to ask current students
   4. Predicting graduate employment rates

9. A parent notices that their AI planning tool keeps suggesting Ivy League schools despite their teen's interest in engineering. What is likely happening?

   1. The parent did not specify the teen's interests clearly enough
   2. The AI is pushing prestige proxies based on general rankings
   3. The AI has access to the teen's academic records
   4. The AI is following government education guidelines

10. Why does the lesson emphasize that AI cannot replace conversations with admissions officers?

    1. Admissions officers have access to private AI tools
    2. University policy prohibits using AI for this purpose
    3. AI has already interviewed all admissions officers
    4. Conversations provide personalized, real-time information that AI cannot replicate

11. When building a comparison rubric for college tours, why should 'fit' be prioritized over raw rankings?

    1. Rankings are updated too frequently to be useful
    2. Fit is the only criterion that matters for acceptance
    3. Rankings are calculated by AI and therefore unreliable
    4. Fit reflects whether the school matches the teen's actual needs and preferences

12. What is the fundamental limitation of using AI to decide which college a teen should attend?

    1. AI cannot legally provide educational advice
    2. AI cannot access information about scholarship deadlines
    3. AI is not allowed to make recommendations for minors
    4. AI lacks the ability to experience campus culture firsthand

13. A parent wants to plan a 5-day tour of 3 schools in the Northeast. Which logistics element should they NOT expect AI to handle alone?

    1. Creating a schedule that allows adequate rest between visits
    2. Generating an itinerary that includes travel between schools
    3. Determining which school the teen will ultimately choose
    4. Booking accommodations at budget-appropriate hotels

14. The lesson mentions that AI can draft a comparison rubric. What makes a comparison rubric useful for college tour decision-making?

    1. It allows AI to make the final decision automatically
    2. It provides a structured way to evaluate schools on personalized criteria
    3. It eliminates the need for campus visits
    4. It guarantees the teen will be accepted everywhere

15. Why is it important to include 'access to majors' in a college tour comparison rubric?

    1. AI cannot generate questions about majors
    2. Majors determine campus location only
    3. All colleges offer all majors equally
    4. The teen's intended major affects whether the school meets their academic goals
