Exception Scoring Process -- What does this mean??

I took the last old version of the SAT on February 27th and was supposed to get my scores a week ago (March 18th). I still haven’t gotten them, so I called the College Board, and they told me my answer sheet was going through an “Exception Scoring Process” and that someone would contact me in 10-14 business days. But that’s a really long time, and I’m reallyy stressing out. If my score is in the Exception Scoring process, is its legitimacy in question? Is there a chance I won’t get my score? What are reasons for which a score goes into the Exception Scoring Process? These questions are consuming my every waking hour. Any help or info appreciated!

Hey I’m going through the same process now and was wondering if/when you ever got your scores back. It’s been two weeks since I was supposed to get mine back but College Board says they’re going through an Exception Scoring Process as well. Any info would be appreciated!

Other people on similar threads thought it had to do with a sharp increase in scores compared to a previous test.

Hope your scores turn out to be incredibly high!

I wish that was the case but these are sat subject tests that I’ve never taken before (Chem and History), so I don’t think that’s the case

I really hope they didn’t lose them…there’s only one more test date before early applications are due :frowning:

Hey! Yeah, mine wasn’t a sharp increase either (College Board still doesn’t actually know why my test was selected for the process. Might have just been random.) But I did eventually get my score! I called College Board a bunch of times the week after I was supposed to get my scores and got some pretty useless information from customer service. Then, after about two weeks, I called and they let me “open a case,” which means College Board was going to start actively looking for my score. They gave me a case number and then I had to wait something like 14 business days until a customer care specialist would reach out. After waiting, I got the email from the customer care specialist saying she was going to look for the score, and, ten days later, she found it! So it’s extremely unlikely they lost your score. Call up College Board and ask to open a case (they may say you have to wait a little longer before you can do so). That should fix the problem. Best of luck!!
