<p>Does anyone else have this problem?</p>

<p>Last year, for the AP test, collegeboard misread the Q in my name as O on the answer sheet (no I did not misbubble both times)...and I had to call them to change it.</p>

<p>This year, when I just called in for my AP number, they could not find my name...well guess what I told them to check if the Q in my name was an O, and guess what, they found my number...and no I did not misbubble again. Now, they have to merge my files...and the reports they send out have to be changed, causing work on both sides.</p>

<p>Is it just me or do they have a problem with Qs and Os? I remember on the AP sheet, they even had a big Q next to the Qs...was that to prevent this? I remember one collegeboard representative told me this problem occrued with someone else too...but I was wondering if this occrus frequently? Because its just odd...</p>

<p>On everyother test I have ever taken, this problem has never occured...just with the collegeboard's tests.</p>

<p>^ok good so I am not the only one that had this problem. </p>

<p>Its so weird that collegeboard would have this problem…I mean why not just give every single letter a number to it and when it scans, scan the number, NOT the letter (so the O and Q don’t get mixed up). Then match the number to the letter. On the form, the number should be like hidden so the people bubbling in don’t get confused.</p>

<p>If you scan directly the letter, and if it gets covered up too much, then yea the little - in the Q might be covered up.</p>
