<p>^The pink FR packets are just shrink-wrapped without paper seals…</p>
<p>I actually take that back about Euro. They put paper seals on the Euro/USH pink booklets. But for the exams when you can start FR as soon as possible (i.e. no reading period), the only seal on the FR is the shrink-wrap.</p>
<p>Hm, I wouldn’t worry too much about it as long as the shrink wrap was still there. It’s impossible for the school to miraculously peek inside the test and yet somehow not rip the shrink wrap.</p>
<p>This seems to be a recurring problem with Bio. (Perhaps the Bio seals were really weak. Either way though I could very easily see it getting ripped accidentally in packing/shipping; the perforation’s extremely weak.) Mine was ripped too though I seemed to be the only case, and I actually reported it. One of the proctors just looked at my book, wrote something down on some paper, and told me to just go ahead. I wouldn’t think too much on it.</p>
<p>I took bio today and all of our seals were broken, like completely broken, too. There were around 75 of us testing. The proctor said he was going to report it.</p>
<p>yeah my bio seal was broken too and I was wondering if I did it myself without thinking haha. but yeah only a loser would take the time to contact collegeboard.</p>
<p>Mine was too. I actually looked up at my proctor because I was just confused. That wasn’t a good idea because I think she noticed something was wrong and I just assumed I was the only one with the broken seal. I thought I was going to get in trouble but she probably didn’t know what to make of it. I just continued and pretended to break it.</p>
<p>Mine was broken today during the AP Eng Lang exam. I told the proctor and several others told her theirs was broken as well. She said, “We’ll just act like it never happened.” lol</p>
<p>So, I took English Language and Comp today.
The seal was not broken; however, the seal was almost completely torn, with the edges of the seal still barely hanging on. It would be impossible for the school or a student to peek in and still retain the seal and yet it was mostly broken.</p>
<p>What this tells me is that the seals are very fragile. It’s likely it broke by itself.</p>
<p>After examining my lang seal, I came to the conclusion that it was a simple manufacturing error: a case of over-perforation. I have reported this to the almighty Ministry of Testing Integrity, and they have informed me that all tests that use the perforated seal to enclose Section II answer booklets will have to be retaken on the national retake days.</p>
