<p>I got a letter today saying that my scores were irregular and they were similar to another persons in my testing room and that I need to either
TAKE IT OVER
or
CANCEL THE SCORES!!!</p>
<p>WHAT DO I DO!
I did really good and I really don't know if I can get that score again especially after not opening the book in so long!!! I already heard from colleges and got into my top choice!</p>
<p>Has this happened to anyone!? Help!</p>
<p>What was your score?</p>
<p>What was your previous score?</p>
<p>If you know you didn’t cheat, you have to contact them and explain everything.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What could the OP explain?</p>
<p>That he didn’t cheat and that what they’re doing is wrong. I really don’t know lol.</p>
<p>@OP btw did you take the ACT or SAT?</p>
<p>They don’t really give you any options…
you can try to send in an explanation but you have to send in a transcript of all your high school classes… my grades in school aren’t matching my ACT which is why it’s important to me.</p>
<p>what was your score? your previous score?</p>
<p>It was a 24 to a 28</p>
<p>Are you Korean? Not to target you…but there were several articles about not proper behavior in testing of certain few K students. Are your HS grades good or bad?</p>
<p>If you are sure that you didn’t do anything wrong then contact then and tell you disagree with that allegations, ask for the evidence they have about you…and the impact in you college application. If you feel intimidated then contact a Lawyer and let the Counsel speak on your behalf.</p>
<p>24-28 doesn’t seem to significant. I’m kind of suprised.</p>
<p>^
I’m also surprised.
One thing I can say is that ACT is not basing their accusation off of your 4 pt. jump because I got the same jump (31 to 35).</p>
<p>So that must mean your answers were similar to someone else’s in your test room.
I would say that although this is unfair, you have no other option other than retaking the test. Study hard and hope you can do well again.</p>
<p>if you didn’t do anything wrong, you shouldn’t be freaking out, which makes me wonder…</p>
<p>I’m pretty mad if someone copied off of me… especially if they don’t have to retake it like if it was their first time and have nothing to base it off of…
goes to show studying doesn’t pay off…</p>
<p>and no I’m not Korean…</p>
<p>and the to person above me please don’t just accuse me and make my day even worse.</p>
<p>I’m not accusing you of anything, I’m just saying that if you didn’t do anything then you’re fine.</p>
<p>Take it again. If you don’t get near the same score, they will revoke your 28, and rightfully so. If you get like a 27, it makes no sense if they cancel your 28. Just think about it as their own form of score choice. You should be consistent. Obviously, that is unfair, but it’s workable.</p>
<p>The only problem of course is whether this will affect your colleges’ decisions. You would have to talk with the colleges and the College Board about that.</p>
<p>Just cancel it and avoid all this drama. You are already in at your top choice. Congratz. Wipe your hands clean of standardized tests.</p>
<p>If you did not cheat and this entire matter is causing you emmotional distress that manifests itself physically (insomnia, hives, etc.) get a lawyer and sue – get a new car for college!</p>
<p>wow, that is crazy</p>
<p>If you read the not-so-fine print, they’re very clear (website and all their print info) on their right to cancel a score if they perceive irregularities of certain kinds, which they spell out.</p>
<p>Don’t panic. Don’t get crazy over this. Spend a little time preparing (mainly as a confidence-restorer), and then take it again. The school that accepted you has the right to rescind that acceptance when they find out your score has been cancelled. So don’t let this go. Relax! Re-take! It’ll be fine.</p>
<p>Fine. Take it again to mitigate the damages, but make them pay for your additional sitting. Add that to your damages claim. Let’s see exactly where the other 28-score student with your exact same answers was sitting. You’ve got to know precisley what the sight lines were. Don’t take this lying down, bro! Get all up in their face. Your momma didn’t raise a wet noodle. You’ve got to show them punks how you roll!</p>
<p>Retake. But if you did cheat, then you’re in trouble. If you do, however, get a similar score, sue them. That simple.</p>
