<p>Your boy Donny here has had these score delays happen to him quite often, because in Korea, which is the most notorious country of test-taking cheaters in the world, you so much as look at someone else’s paper and the proctor will run up and snatch your paper. </p>
<p>There are several explanations.</p>
<p>There is always, of course, the standard explanation of technical difficulties in processing your scores, possiblities of test being misplaced, blah blah. You get my point and hopefully, this is the case because your daughter’s score will most likely be released soon. </p>
<p>However, if there is any reason to suspect possible cheating, then oh boy, you should already know how long it takes for them to “clear matters up.” I completely understandably your frustration, especially with college deadlines looming, but College Board will not budge an inch in the matter. You have to play by their rules and terms. So it seems to me as if you’re trying to get some type of consolation or any inkling of hope that perhaps it will be different this time. </p>
<p>It will not. </p>
<p>My December score last year was delayed for over a month, even after repeatedly inundating ETS and College Board with over 20 phone calls and email. Of course, they will always give you the same jibe, saying that once an official investigation has been conducted and finalized, you will be notified by email or your score will be released. They almost always tell you that it typically takes up to 2 weeks, but I can guarantee you that if your child’s score is being investigated for possibilties of cheating, it can well take up to a month or longer, or even shorter. So same thing happens to me again in January, on which month, it turns out a lot of people did indeed cheat, hence the cancellation of the entire May test in Korea. </p>
<p>Call and rage at College Board. Threaten lawsuits. Play the racism card or that you won’t take any of that blatant discrimination crap against Middle Easterners. If you do that enough, as have I, they will eventually give you the number of a higher-up and the individual in charge of your case. </p>
<p>Yes. There is a specific case number and a specific individual in charge of your case. As many phone calls and delayed holds they put you, get that person’s number. Call him or her and although, they will never tell you what the exact problem is, if you play their stupid mind games with them, they will ultimately be so exasperated that you’ll eventually have a good idea of why the test is being delayed and when approximately you will receive your scores.</p>
