SAT Score delayed!!!

<p>Hi there,</p>

<p>I took my October test in Asia and now it seems that most of the Chinese students taking Asian SAT test have their scores delayed. I'm wondering if there is any student who is not Chinese but had test in Asia and still receives the score!</p>

<p>I’m Korean and all Korean students haven’t gotten their scores yet too… Does your sat score show the sign that says “available” and still it not available when you click it? or does it say that it’s not available?</p>

<p>We do see the notice that “most of the scores are available" but still they are not available yet.</p>

<p>for all Korean students, when we click the “sat scores” button in “my organizer” column, it says that the status for 10/11/14 is available. However, we find no score once we click that button.</p>

<p>Then I think it’s all the same for Chinese Students. </p>

<p>how about you?? do you see the available sign and still have no score? or you don’t even see any sign that says available?</p>

<p>I took Oct’s SAT in Korea(I’m Chinese), and it says the score is available but when I click into it, there is no change from morning or even days before. Unlike other students’ score status, which directly says"not available yet", ours are nothing. As we’ve discussed, Korea’s questions are different from any other Asian country’s and that’s what makes me most confused. Have anyone called CB asking about this?</p>

<p>I called, but it doesn’t give the information that I really need. She said she cant see my score, and didnt know anything… But she said she will report these problems.</p>

<p>I took the SAT in China as well, however I am not a Chinese passport holder. My score has been delayed and I received this email around half an hour ago:</p>

<p>Dear Test Taker:</p>

<p>We at ETS are highly committed to quality standards and fairness. After every test administration, we go to great lengths to make sure each test result we report is accurate and valid. It is with this objective in mind that we sometimes take additional quality control steps before scores are released. </p>

<p>For the reasons stated above, your October 2014 SAT scores are delayed because they are under administrative review. This review is routinely performed on each test score in certain circumstances and may take up to four weeks. We hope you realize only accurate and valid test results are meaningful and helpful to their recipients. </p>

<p>At the conclusion of our review, you will be notified only if there are questions concerning your scores. Otherwise your scores will be reported to you and to schools you have designated to receive reports. If you have not heard from us in approximately three weeks, please feel free to contact Customer Service by email at <a href="mailto:sat@info.collegeboard.org">sat@info.collegeboard.org</a> or by phone at +1-212-713-7789 Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern Time. </p>

<p>I’ve read that large increases/decreases in test scores could cause this, but this is my first time taking the test, and I feel like it’s unlikely since a lot of my friends who took the test that day as well have also been delayed. Any idea as to what’s going on?</p>

<p>Most likely there were some irregularities that suggest cheating of some kind. If a lot of scores are being held back, that means that they may not suspect you in particular, but are looking at the whole set of scores. There could also be problems such as improper timekeeping, etc.</p>

<p>There’s a hearsay that CB is investigating a large-scale cheating in East Asian. Most test results of Chinese and Korean students (racist?) are withheld for further evaluation. It seems quite serious. But I believe most of us are innocent and such delay will disturb our application plan especially EA/ED!! </p>

<p>This is an utter BS. Nothing more, nothing less.
Probably the majority of the students here, myself and worldwide, will have their college applications due within the next two weeks and the score is postponed for three weeks? Is college board serious or acting as an arrogant racist who just can’t accept the fact that Asians are improving</p>

<p>Most likely, all the scores from specific test sites are being withheld because of reports of irregularities at those sites. If (for example) somebody reported that the test administrators at a particular site were giving more time for test segments than are allowed, this could result in the test scores being delayed (or even canceled), even though this might not be the fault of the students taking the test. Or, if there is reason to believe that there was cheating at a particular site, the Board might delay all the scores while investigating the claims.</p>

<p>the college board wouldn’t have done that if it was the case for Americans!</p>

<p>Scores are cancelled for American students who cheat. But here is an article that may give some context to this situation: <a href=“South Korea: For First Time, SAT Exam Is Canceled in an Entire Country | TIME.com”>http://world.time.com/2013/05/10/for-the-first-time-sat-test-gets-canceled-in-an-entire-country/&lt;/a&gt;
Perhaps there is reason for CB to think something like this has occurred again.</p>

<p>I know that Korea is the usual suspect but I just don’t see why this so-called ‘investigation’ should take up such great a scale and time. Isn’t the CB at least sensible enough to be aware of the application due dates?</p>

<p>Since when was CB sensible and accommodating… You should wait a few days (just in case), and if that doesn’t work, you would just have to call the admission offices of the colleges your applying to. They might understand.</p>

<p>Is there a significant chance that scores will be cancelled? I was planning on taking the SAT just this one time and if I have to do it again because of this I’m gonna be really pissed off.</p>

<p>if that’s the case Asians will bring CB to the court, no joking</p>

<p>Plz dont cancel I dont want to take it again…</p>
