It generally doesn’t happen, but can it be a possible error in a section that focuses more on grammar than punctuation?

I’ve never seen it but you never know
I’ve never been seen it either and I doubt they’d start now.
No. The SAT does not test comma splices in the Error ID questions.
No, but don’t take that as a rule - that’s risky. Take that with a grain of salt; they might do so in the next test… you never know. But in improving sentences and paragraphs, they almost always do.
To detect a comma splice, make sure each part before and after the comma has a subject and a verb, and that none of them has a subordinating conjunction (for example: though, while). If this happens, then you have a comma splice. If one of them does have a conjunction, you have a complex sentence which is fine.
Since the SAT is a standardized test, its unlikely that they’ll test comma splices in Error ID if they never have before.
