Invalidated for discussing AP questions?

<p>Thanks for the post neetim. :)</p>

<p>Although you didn’t post much about your situation, from what I’ve heard it seems that most of the invalidations are from cheating incidents – that’s why I’m not too concerned about my sharing of answers leading to an invalidation. I remember my proctor telling me that about 400 students had their tests invalidated during the 2012 exam administration for using cell phones. However, I’m not sure how many students beyond that number actually had invalidated exams. Nonetheless, the total number is likely miniscule compared to the millions of students who take these exams each year. I have also yet to hear a convincing case of an invalidation here coming from a student who discussed questions/answers (I’m still skeptical about Tri_N’s case…).</p>

<p>Also, it occurred to me that if I were to be invalidated, it would seem almost necessary for CollegeBoard to contact my school (in order to match my name with an AP number). However, as I said earlier, this did not occur; nor did I receive any communication from TCB/ETS within the last month – a time during which there could have been considerable investigation.</p>

<p>A note to other CC’ers though: don’t put yourself into my position. It is nerve-wracking to think that your score is at the mercy of whether or not you were reported to the OTI – especially when you know that you studied hard and deserve a five.</p>

<p>Does anyone know if the College Board notifies students whose tests have been invalidated? I really want to know the answer to this.</p>

<p>^ Were they notified about their cancelled scores before they received their score reports?</p>

<p>No decisions are made about withholding scores without due process. Student is contacted, discussions are held, options are offered. Schools are not contacted, no one is accused of cheating, and the world keeps turning on its axis.</p>

<p>A story from an anonymous person on this discussion to the contrary doesn’t change the process I have described.</p>

<p>I discussed questions once. </p>

<p>I died.</p>
