Getting Flagged on SAT

Test Preparation
1

<p>First time I took the SAT in January 2014 I got 1490, 480 Reading, 530 Math, 480 Writing. This happened because i took the test the morning after my soccer game and I had a sprained ankle and it was very difficult trying to stay awake during the test. I probably guessed on like 2-3 sections. Recently I just took the SAT in November and it was much easier. I think I got around 2100-2300, depending on the curve, because I spent almost the whole summer studying. What I'm scared of is that I might get flagged for a substantial increase on the test. I was wondering if i should cancel my score, because i recently got a 32 on the ACT. I wont be able to retake the SAT because I am a senior and I still need to take subjects. So I was wondering if I do get accused of cheating, if it would go on CB, saying that the test was canceled because suspicion of cheating or will it just cancel the score.</p>

<p>I did show work on the SAT, but I also did make alot of erase marks on the answer sheet, which wouldn't work in my favor.
I dont have the time to argue with CB and question them because of college applications, I'm just asking if colleges will be able to see that the test got canceled because of suspicion on cheating. </p>

<p>I also read somewhere that sometimes they dont flag people with high substantials increases, because its expected and has anyone had any experience with getting a score increase on 700-800 and not being flagged for it.</p>

<p>When a test score is actually put on hold because a new score is substantially higher than an old score, they do an investigation after which they will either issue the scores because they deicide there is not an issue or cancel the test. If canceled, they never tell colleges anything, even whether youi signed up for or took the test.</p>

Hello, I’m looking for some above on my sat. My scores increase from 1080 to 1170 and then finally to 1350. Should I worry about flagging? I’ve heard a lot about how sat flags increased of 300 but I just want to be cautious. Thanks.

You have no issue if you already have your scores. The activity mentioned above is something College Board does before issuing your scores on a test.
