I saw a few threads with users asking about what would happen should they have printed their statement, as opposed to signing it in cursive. This reminded me that I had neglected to write it in cursive myself (but obviously my signature was in cursive). I called the College Board, and they told me that it was not an issue because they don’t know what the test proctor told me, so nothing will happen.
Just thought I’d share in case this information benefits others.
@TheThalamus do you happen to know what happens if you do not sign the cursive statement (I don’t remember if I did or not)??
Would you clarify what you mean by that, @ChemFire085? I’m afraid I don’t understand your question.
If, however, you mean that you copied the statement but did not sign your signature, I’m afraid I can’t help you there. I could only recommend that you contact the College Board directly. Just a warning; every experience I’ve had with their customer service team has been long and annoying. Today, I spent nearly thirty minutes on the phone explaining to the representative that, no, for the fifth time, I was not talking about canceling my scores; I just wanted to know what would happen if the agreement was printed.
@TheThalamus I copied the statement, but I don’t remember whether I signed or not. I hope collegeboard realizes that I am not trying to cheat or something like that (I have taken sat subject tests and the real sat before, and I have always copied and signed the statement, but I have doubts that I have signed on this one)…
@ChemFire085 I cannot give you a definitive answer, but the customer service representative made it sound as though the College Board doesn’t look at the statements unless there were discrepancies elsewhere.
@TheThalamus Sigh This is worrying me. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see what happens in a month and a half.
Do NOT take my word as the gospel, but they made it sound like they don’t regularly check the forms. Why don’t you try giving CB a call? You don’t have to give your name or anything.
I was thinking about calling them, but I didn’t want to arouse any suspicions beforehand. I’ll just let it pass through college board and if they question it in a month and a half, I will explain what happened. I do remember signing my name on the first page of the answer sheet, agreeing to follow college board’s Test Security and Fairness policies. I doubt that they will actually care that I did not sign the second time after copying the statement in cursive. I will be MAD if they cancel my scores just because of that, especially seeing that this is my third time taking a test with them, and I have never broken any rules before…
Our proctor told us explicitly that it did not matter if the statement was in cursive anymore. I remember it was the same way for the new PSAT.
That is terrific to know; thank you so much for sharing! @class0f2017 f2017
