<p>I am an Egyptian High School Student. Test takers in Cairo have received this email..
Does any one know the reason of delaying our SAT exam?</p>
<p>Dear Test Taker:
We at ETS are highly committed to quality standards and fairness. After every test administration, we go to great lengths to make sure each test result we report is accurate and valid. It is with this objective in mind that we sometimes take additional quality control steps before scores are released. </p>
<p>For the reasons stated above, your December SAT scores are delayed while we conduct an administrative review. Our practice is to perform this review, which may take up to five weeks, on each test score in certain circumstances. We know this delay can be very frustrating. Please know that colleges and universities have made clear that it is preferable to wait for valid scores, rather than to receive scores that subsequently are cancelled. </p>
<p>At the conclusion of our review, you will be notified if there are further questions concerning your scores. Otherwise your scores will be reported to you and to schools you have designated to receive reports. If you have not heard from us in approximately five weeks from today, please feel free to contact Customer Service by email at <a href="mailto:sat@info.collegeboard.org">sat@info.collegeboard.org</a> or by phone at +1-212-713-7789 Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern Time. </p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
