<p>Hi,</p>
<p>As a lot of people, my SAT's november scores aren't available. No surprise, I completly failed CR and W sections in my previous test. I spent today almost 3 hours to reach someone at their customers service. They told me that my test has been flagged, but they are not able to give me a date to check back my scores. They just told me that the investigation didn't start and the only thing I could do is standing by.
I'm definitly very angry against Collegeboard and their lack of communication. Do you know how long does it take to release my scores ? I absolutly need these scores to apply to UC's, and I know that the deadline to send scores is on december...</p>
<p>In addition, do you know how many SAT scores are canceled by Collegeboard every year ?</p>
<p>Time varies but some have reported wait times ranging from three to five weeks after scores were released generally. CB does not provide information on number or percentage of those whose tests are cancelled. As far UCs are concerned, you still have plenty of time since the Nov 30 application deadline is not the test score deadline. The UCs accept both the Dec SAT and ACT tests and scores can arrive as late as about mid-Jan.</p>
<p>Thank you very much for your help ! I don’t know if people from my test center have been flagged… (I just attend it for the test, I don’t have any relation with the other test-takers…). Why ? Does it matter anyway ?</p>
<p>Investigations can occur for various reasons. One is that which you suspect in that your scores increased so much that they will investigate to assure nothing suspicious occurred and that you are the same test taker. Those investigations are usually not that long and if if they decide nothing is wrong they just release your score. A second basis for investigation is something went wrong in the room which could include something the supervisor in the room did, such as cut off the time for a section too early, or something the supervisor reported such as seeing several test-takers pass notes, in which case they may hold up many of the test scores of those in the room while investigating including scores of those who may not even be mentioned as possible wrongdoers. A third investigation can result from similar answers in that test-takers who were near each other in the room have a number of the same test answers including the same wrong answers in which case they will investigate both parties. The latter two investigations tend to take longer than the first one.</p>
