<p>I got back my scores last week...except for one..</p>
<p>SPANISH</p>
<p>two days later a letter comes saying that it is UNGRADEABLE because the tape can't be graded or that it may have been damaged.</p>
<p>***ZZ!?</p>
<p>has anyone else ever had this happen to them?</p>
<p>Supposedly my test is now going to be graded based on the rest of the test. That is, my test pretty much counts only 50% and all the work I put in the class is gone in terms of the AP test.</p>
<p>Am i screwed?</p>
<p>You shouldn’t be. Unless you for some reason did drastically different on the rest of the test compared to your oral sample, your result likely won’t change.</p>
<p>According to Collegeboard, if a part of the test was damaged, they will arrange for you to retake that part. Go take them up on that.</p>
<p>I’ve heard of that happening to people and then they find section X and people who scored similarly to you and then just hook you up with their score</p>
<p>Well we realized my test was damaged right before turning them in… I had to get a new tape and record everything all over again… But i think collegeboard should give you the option of retaking the spoken part of the test</p>
<p>That happened to my friend a couple of years ago. They do not penalize you for a bad tape or give you no credit for the speaking part. They’ll grade your essay and MC and assign a grade based on only those two items. So, for example, my friend still scored a 5. Unless you were bad at reading, writing, and listening but great at speaking, your score shouldn’t really be affected.</p>
