<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I took the sat today on June 5, and somehow when i was working i made a very very very careless mistake and worked on section 5 when the director said to work on section 4 and also worked on section 4 when i was supposed to work on section 5.</p>

<p>It was a very idiotic mistake that is probably going to haunt me for the rest of my life, well anyways when i was working on section 4 (really supposed to be section 5) the director of my testing room told me i was on the wrong section. I was befuddled at first and then realized my error, i briefly explained to him my situation, but he really didn't seem to care. After of which i erased both sections and replaced their answers. He didn't straight out tell me i was disqualified, but i didn't think he would.</p>

<p>What I'm really worried about is if my scores will be disqualified?</p>

<p>There is a similar post on this site with my same situation, except this person had to fill a red form?
I didn't fill out any red form, but was thinking that they already had all my info on my scan-tron, so could easily obtain it.

<p>I really hope my scores will not be disqualified, because i think i did rather well on the test :(
please if anyone has any information it would be much appreciated.</p>

<p>Your scores will probably get flagged and maybe cancelled.</p>

<p>You don’t fill out the red form. The proctor does - I saw mine do it for two kids in my room who got their scores voided.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t be surprised if yours got voided as well.</p>

5

<p>Thanks for the replies,
and NewAccount- did the proctor fill out the red forms during the tests or after it was done?</p>

6

<p>After the test. She didn’t even tell them their tests were voided until they saw her filling out the red form and asking for their information. They were devastated.</p>

7

<p>^ I assume that is the necessary report to void scores? (at least by a proctor)</p>

8

<p>I would assume so.</p>

9

<p>But he was asking the two kids for their information?</p>

<p>The “red” form is the SIR (supervisor’s incident report) form that the room supervisor fills out about anything out of the ordinary that happens, in regard to either an individual or the group. If it is minor or the first time for some things, s/he may not bother, and some incidents will get verbal warnings the first time. The form requires the names & test book serial numbers of every student affected, but they can fill this out without you or your signature. There is also a question about what action was taken: dismissal, warning or none. </p>

<p>The SIR is not just for student misconduct, it’s also the for supervisor mistakes, room environment (temperature etc), test question ambiguity, or anything else (“Other”). There is plenty of room to write all the details, including what steps the supervisor took in response. For example, if a room was hot or cold enough that several students complained about it, a supervisor should foresee that they might complain to CB about it. If it were my room, I could fill out an SIR and write that I brought in a fan, opened windows for ventilation, or asked a custodian to change the temperature. </p>

<p>Of course some misconduct will call for immediate dismissal without a warning, plus a call to CB. In that case the SIR will certainly be filled out. There is a lot of miscellaneous behavior that can be covered under the prohibited “causing a disturbance of any kind” that is read to the students at the beginning of the test. During that same script passage, students are encouraged to report to CB any behavior that concerns them, whether it is about another student or the supervisor.</p>

<p>say goodbye to your 2300</p>

12

<p>Further proof that the people at the College Board are deprived of human feeling.</p>

13

<p>^^ That should be obvious from the beginning. They want as many students to fail/disqualify so that they’ll take the test again for more $$$</p>

<p>They charge you for mundane requests such as changing test centers, test dates, etc. That alone should tell you the kind of company they are.</p>

14

<p>Yea, the non-profit kind of company. Maybe you should do some research before buying into all these conspiracies.</p>

<p>If they cancel your test scores this time, it’d totally be legit. Although if you ask me, the rules itself is kind of stupid.</p>

15

<p>You actually think they’re non-profit? ETS, which is the mother company that owns the Collegeboard, administers the SAT, SAT IIs, PSAT, AP, CLEP, TOEFL, GRE, and some others. Non-profit my ass.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Quoted for truth. These tests are a cash cow for the ETS</p>

17

<p>^Not truth. </p>

<p>The ETS is non-profit and separate from the College Board, which is also a not-for-profit. See, for example, [this</a> ets.org link](<a href=“http://ets.org/about/faq]this”>http://ets.org/about/faq).</p>

<p>The CB actually pre-dates the ETS. Also, the ETS builds the SAT/SAT Subj/AP exams for the CB, but also builds and administers tests that have no CB involvement at all (e.g., Praxis, GRE, etc.)</p>

<p>The NPO status does <em>not</em> imply that money is not made by said company, even if that money is of the “hand-over-fist” variety.</p>
