<p>So I've been waiting for my June SAT scores for the past week and called up CB to check what the delay was: apparently, the proctor sent an irregularity report saying that I was glancing over at another test and that CB will hold my scores until I respond to an upcoming letter. One thing is I don't cheat. But then again, it's hard to support that with pure words.
The test center contained very small and uncomfortable seats that had these desks barely big enough to hold a birthday cake. Because of these conditions, I was very jittery during the test but didn't look over. Neck stretches and such, I tried to make myself comfortable. Do you guys have any suggestions as to how I can defend my argument?</p>
<p>I wanted to use my transcript (All A's and 1 B+) with a 4.2GPA, my previous state testing scores (100% on cahsee and 5's on state tests), and my integrity/honesty award from school as support but I don't know if these will be sufficient. i can explain the situation, but well, I just wanted to see if you guys had suggestions. Thanks.</p>
<p>From what I’ve heard, the upcoming letter will give you 3 options:</p>
<ol>
<li>Retake the test and score within 3 points</li>
<li>Cancel the score</li>
<li>Write a letter providing evidence to how you’re capable of getting that score (which is basically what you described in your last paragraph</li>
</ol>
<p>3 points is a pretty big gap, so if you don’t feel like dealing with BS and waiting longer to see if they accept your letter of evidence (#3) I’d just take it again. Otherwise, go with option 3 and hope they accept the letter as proof.</p>
<p>In addition to the above indications of honesty (which I would definitely set out in a responsive letter), there IS one prior standardized test that they administer–how did you do on the PSAT? If you scored well there, I would use that as support for your current score. Will they even tell you your current scores? You can always offer to do an additional SAT, but that is kinda a PITA, especially if they make you wait until October. That is the least helpful option if you are a rising senior, less important if you are a junior. Maybe offer to take a sampling SAT (fewer questions) under a proctor’s supervision ASAP? That might be a very nerve-wracking thing to do, though.<br>
Also, any way you can get pics of the chairs and desks where you took the SAT? Do you have any classmates from the same test who could submit letters in support of not only your honesty but the crummy conditions at the test center?<br>
Also, if you think it would be helpful, now is a very good time to get your parents involved. Good luck, your situation really sucks.</p>
<p>Mavs, is that the SAT or ACT? Three points is impossible under SAT scoring. Do you know what the differential from test 1 to test 2 would be for the SAT? And, would OP have to wait until the next time the SAT is administered or take it sooner to get scores released?</p>
<p>I believe you need only to score within 100 points of disputed test, and if you score higher the higher score will count. But better read the official information. Not sure if this link will work, you may have to cut and past the web address:</p>

<p>My apologies, I misread and thought you were talking about the ACT. That information I posted is in regards to the ACT, not the SAT. Yes, within 3 points of the SAT would be a pain in the ass!</p>
<p>I’m not sure how this works for the SAT, as I’m just going off of previous stories told regarding cheating with the ACT.</p>
<p>fight the case.</p>
<p>dont let those mother buckers jip you out of your real score</p>
