Why would Collegeboard call home?

Test Preparation

<p>I hope this is in the correct forum. o_o</p>

<p>So, someone from Collegeboard called home yesterday requesting to speak to my parents. I said that I could take the message, since my parents don't understand English well. Instead, they said they'd call back next week with a translator, and hung up. </p>

<p>I didn't cheat (otherwise the proctor would've said something, right?).
I did get Commended on the PSAT, but I don't think Collegeboard would call home about it.
My only other guess is that there were cheating speculations in the room, except I didn't know anyone else in the room.</p>

<p>This is my first official SAT test.</p>

<p>All I can do is wait for the call, but all of this is making me anxious. On top of that, I won't be home until 6pm all week next week. X) </p>

<p>What are the possible reasons for Collegeboard to call, but only to speak to my parents?</p>

<p>And did anyone else get a call? :O</p>

<p>CB generally does contacts concerning tests in writing and does not, as far as I know, call parents. It is a possibility it is CB, maybe just for some kind of survey in general, but you may have an issue of someone misrepresenting who they are.</p>

<p>I think you should be very careful about scammers. We got calls from very slick, very expensive, very disreputable outfits. </p>

<p>If you think it was really the CollegeBoard, you should contact them and find out what they want.</p>

<p>Your guidance counselor could call on your behalf.</p>

<p>They haven’t called back, but I’ll be sure to be on the lookout in case it’s a scam. Thanks.</p>

<p>It’s just telemarketers trying to sell something. Don’t worry about it.</p>
