Forget about how people thought they did well on the test. It doesn’t matter anymore because the scores are already screwed up with College Board’s “solution”.
While y’all argue…
Someone want to help me with this Physics problem? 
A young girl is learning how to tune her violin. She plays a tuning fork on her string and hears 2 beats per second when listening to the combined sound. She tightens the string and then hears 3 beats per second when the two sounds are played together. In order to tune her violin string, what should she do any why?
Wait. So if I got, say, four wrong on the first two reading sections, they’ll give me ANOTHER four points off to account for the third section? What BS. Is this true with the averaging? They should give you the average points and split it.
@kuma184 I don’t know how that converts, but yes the questions will be weighted more. So say you missed 7, which is the lowest amount you can miss normally and still get a 700. Now say that you missed 7 on the sections that are graded and you missed 0 on the section that’s not being graded. That score of 700 will now become like a 670 or 680.
@coolweather I don’t agree with their solution, but I don’t agree with your solution of colleges not accepting the test at all.
@DNuge98 These test scores are unreliable. Of course they can’t be accepted.
@Canon7130 Oh, I guess you’re right. I’m just frustrated by all of this now. I did uncharacteristically terrible last time, and I felt real good leaving this test. Oh well.
I forgot to mention. My room got 20 minutes each for sections 8 and 9. Will those sections still be left ungraded, or will they grade them normally?
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP:
I took the June SAT and I just found out either section 8 or 9 is NOT going to be scored?!?!?
HOW DOES THAT MAKE THIS SITUATION EVEN BETTER?!
Does anyone know what was section 8 or 9? Was it math, writing, or critical reading???
someone please answer! Thank you!!
@sssyoung read through the thread!
Well if they go through with this then yes those sections will not be scored for everyone regardless of whether you had 20 or 25 minutes.
Out of curiosity, does anyone know if anything like this has ever happened before? I’m assuming not, considering the way it’s being handled.
@aznboi4981 Just throw out the third beat and say it doesn’t count.
@MichiganGeorgia I would be really mad and score really badly if I were forced to retake this SAT , because I bet everything on this test, and by the time the next test comes, I’d have lost my touch 
(Because SAT is basically middle school stuff and by that time I’d be learning higher levels of math like calculus AP, plus I have better things to do than review SAT vocab each day once the test is over, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr D:)
Incredible, isn’t it – how College Board doesn’t hesitate to take our $50 to take a silly test they claim to be a measure of our intellect…and still fails to do the one job it takes responsibility for!!! Good job, ETS =D>
Can’t we all just file a class-action lawsuit against them for this nightmare? Either that, or we must all start demanding a refund if College Board seriously deems scrapping the scores for the screwed-up section a legitimate response.
I don’t even understand what’s going on here, because my test booklet didn’t even have any times listed for the sections; my proctor just told me how many minutes, I reset my watch to 12:00, and did my damn work.
And I felt like I did so well, too…
Oops I just realized they’re simply invalidating those sections.
OK that’s fine, I hope. Although it only makes wrong answers give you a larger penalty.
But if they invalidate the sections, how can they release accurate scores? There’s no way they can do that, unless ETS invents some sort of time machine…but judging by their incompetence, I reckon that’s not gonna happen anytime soon 
Yes, it’s an inaccurate score and there’s a chance colleges will look at the June 6 SAT with skeptical eyes, but deal with it.
(But it looks like this time I wouldn’t score the 2300 I would have gotten. Stupid me for omitting zero answers.)
I don’t think that they are really paying attention to the current test. They know it’s going away. There are still kids whose May 2015 tests are being held up… College board doesn’t know what they are doing. DS also took a version of the new PSAT last month. They are supposed to use his score from last October to see how the new PSAT score compares to his old score. However they had all kinds of computer server issues…They need to step back and NOT do the new PSAT/SAT until they get their act together. I also think a class action suit will come. I bet each student gets a couple of dollars back and some lawyers get millions.
When a test can have such a profound impact on one’s future, there simply can’t be any room for such huge mistakes. Mistakes are becoming habitual for CB now for a extremely important test, which is unacceptable.
