<p>I know that if you improve more than 400 points from one test to the next you're test gets flagged. How many points do you have to move for your ACT score to get flagged?</p>
<p>A boy in my daughters school just went from an 18 to a 24 composite in one test and it got flagged (Dec. 2011 test).</p>
<p>What happens when a test is flagged?</p>
<p>When a score is flagged for having too high of an increase, they make you take the test again. If the second test is within 3 points of your flagged score I think that they keep your flagged score. If you score 4 points lower, your score is cancelled. Does anyone know what happens if you got a 26 and get a 32, so your score is flagged. You take the test again and get a 34. Are you allowed to keep the 34 as your score or do you have to keep the 32?</p>
<p>This is a random bump… but if they give you the 32, then I would sue them!</p>
<p>^ They’d have to give you the 34. It’s technically within three points of the 32.</p>
<p>I’m a little curious to the “flagging” procedure. Why not just use stricter procedures, like actually requiring school or government-issued ID? (I don’t think my test proctor asked for one). Because some people might have actually improved 7 or 8 points in a couple months.</p>
<p>Never heard of this… interesting…</p>
