<p>so today i got a call from an unknown caller saying that i cheated on the SAT and that they have a video tape of me using a dictionary app on the ti 84. They said that i should come to queens college to discuss this because i can be banned from taking the SAT. I thought it was a prank call so i asked them to send me an email so i can make sure. the guy hung up saying that he'll send me an email but he called me back saying that he can't send an email so i asked for his number and he gave me the first 3 digits and hung up. i think this might be a prank call but im not sure so i wanted to check. does it sound legit?</p>
<p>I doubt they would ask you to go to all that trouble. They would make you retake it most likely to make sure your test is somewhere within the same score. Since that wasn’t the case, and he just coincidentally wasn’t able to send you an email, I’d say it’s fake. If you’re still unsure, I’m sure there’s some way to contact CB and see if they have any suspicions about you. If they managed to call out the same calculator you used on the test, then that tells me it was probably a friend or something who took it the same day. I don’t see how they could see a dictionary that clearly on a calculator through a video. You should be fine. :)</p>
<p>It doesn’t sound legit to me. THe Educational Testing Service is the one who makes those calls, not the College Board. Call CB and get the ETS number and call them. You will have a case manager assigned to your account if it is true. They are sort of the evil empire but actually, I think their retake policy is fairly generous. Read this article if you are truly under suspicion:

<p>yeah they said the caculator model though lol if this was a prank call it was def the best one i ever got</p>
<p>I mean, did you or did you not use a dictionary app? Haha. Honestly, I don’t see how some casual pranksters could possibly know something like that and if you did in fact do what they accuse you of doing, it’s probably a legit call. If you definitely did not, don’t worry about it.</p>
<p>Crank call. CB would not ask you to show up at Queens College and refuse to give you the phone number. They contact via letter explain all the rules and options.</p>
<p>I don’t know I guess I’ll have to wait for them to contact me again or find out whose number it was so I can settle this</p>
<p>Does your phone pick-up, what most do now, the telephone number of the caller? If so check the number and see if it is a CB or ETS line, for example, by doing a reverse phone number check on-line. </p>
<p>Note my understanding of CB/ETS practices is that if it has an issue with your test, you get notification in writing not by phone.</p>
<p>1) ETS/CB will contact you by mail, not by phone.
2) Cheating will not get you banned from taking the SAT, only your score cancelled/a retake offered.
3) Really, meet up at a college somewhere with someone who refuses to disclose any contact information?</p>
<p>Greatest. Prank. Call. Ever.</p>
<p>You can always go to Clown College…</p>
