<p>...when they can't even seem to keep their paperwork straight.</p>
<p>I'm not just talking about the messed-up SAT scores from last October. I have examples from my own kid's experience.</p>
<p>Last year, the College Board inexplicably inserted a space in the middle of my daughter's name and reported her AP U.S. History score in that name. This meant that her previous AP score, reported in her correctly spelled name, was not included in the same report. It took most of the summer to straighten that one out.</p>
<p>This year, the College Board inexplicably sent my daughter two identical score reports for her May SAT Subject Test.</p>
<p>This sort of thing does not exactly inspire confidence.</p>
<p>rather strange....the AP stuff is filled out by hand by the student, and we had a similar problem....my son, who has horrible and soft printing left the number boxes (house number and zip code) unintelligible by CB's computers, so we didn't see the score report for weeks after it was mailed. Fortunately, our postal clerk just happened to see the envelope in the 'return to addressee box', and pulled it since he recognized the name.</p>
<p>My kid put the wrong birthday on one of his AP exams and the college board naturally thought he was a different kid. It only took a phone call and it was fixed right away. I have plenty of complaints about the college board, but this isn't one of them!</p>
<p>...when they claim that score results for individuals (in July) must be delayed because {"your S/D"} "didn't fill in the address bubbles correctly." Laughingly, I guess, they didn't realize they were repeating this line to about 12 high-scoring, high-achieving students from the same school, who knew each other well & were sharing Results info (inquiry attempts). </p>
<p>Students are confused about the bubbles (LOL, not many soft hands in their group, blue), but managed -- all of them -- to score "5's" on those AP's, out of a busload of APs they were each taking.</p>
