<p>This is without the doubt the biggest test fail that I've ever had. </p>
<p>I took the AP Spanish Language Exam today and as I answered questions in the MC section, I would circle my answers in the accompanying book that they provided and afterwards transcribe my answers to the scantron. At the last five minutes I realized that all my answers were shifted down (so for example, the answer for number 39 should have been the answer for 38). I tried fixing as many as I could but only was able to barely finish the reading section. </p>
<p>I am absolutely crushed right now! I've maintained an A in the class for two semesters and languages in general really are my strong point. As I was bubbling in the questions I felt as if I would get either a 4 or 5. Now I really don't know...</p>
<p>I called Collegeboard today and they said that I had two options for me. My administrator can either file an Incident Report for "Misplaced Answers" or I can file a Rescore when my results come in. Since I don't know when the pattern of the shifted answer started, I'm absolutely confused as to which I should do. </p>
<p>Does anybody have any experience with Incident Report? How does it effect your score ultimately? Do you think think the folks at Rescore would adequately rescore my exam if I explained that my answers were shifted? Is it possible for me to explain to colleges my low AP score?</p>
<p>I'm so overwhelmed right now! Any advice would really help. Thanks so much!</p>
