Will College Board Grade someone's SAT if they get a irregularity report?

[kremtop]

<p>Hi</p>

<p>My daughter took the SAT today. She was filling in the last half of her last question in the last section of her SAT test right after the proctor called time. Apparently she saw her do this and filed a irregularity report. Does anyone know if her scores will be invalidated?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

[babyontheway]

<p>Yes.</p>

<p>What she did is a called cheating. She had an unfair advantage (more time) than everyone else who stopped writing at the point that time was called.</p>

<p>Thanks. </p>

<p>Do you know if anyone has ever been exempt from it?</p>

<p>I hope not.</p>

[gloworm]

<p>Exempt from cheating? I also hope not.</p>

[babyontheway]

<p>It’s really funny, because the OP is a parent this post, but a student in her other 6 posts.</p>

<p>She uses the same word “exempt” in the two relating to this particular SAT question.</p>

<p>^ I understand what you’re saying, however parents/students have been known to share accounts early on. Either way, I don’t think the question is fishing for help in avoiding being caught as in ■■■■■■ seen previously. I think it’s safe to answer the question.</p>

<p>The student should always stop, mid-question or not. The instructions are to stop, not finish what you are doing and stop. It may seem like a very hairy edge, however it is a rule…one I promise your daughter understood. Follow up with The Collegeboard to get details. Only they can tell you information you need at this point.</p>

<p>Talk to the school and to the College Board. Sometimes these things can be worked out. Your daughter should obviously not get credit for that last question. If she was cheating and if she knew she was cheating, she will probably just have to take it again.</p>

<p>The important thing with irregularity reports is that all the other students still have valid scores. There are times when the actions of one student jeopardize the tests of everyone else.</p>

<p>I’m calling a ■■■■■ here.</p>

<p>This person is copying questions from Yahoo answers and posting them here. See the other thread that she started.</p>

<p>Or maybe she is posting them both here and on yahoo answers to get more opinions from a wider variety of people. Your paranoia and suspicion is deeply disturbing; if you are so convinced that this user has some sort of sinister motive to asking questions on CollegeConfidential (whatever that might be) then stop responding to her threads. </p>

<p>As far as the main question goes – you/your daughter made a mistake and violated the policy. It might seem minor to you, but the CollegeBoard can’t just make exemptions to people who violate the policy or else it will be unfair to the other people. If asked to explain, your daughter should just apologize and deal with whatever consequences they decide to apply out to yon situation (most likely you will have to do a retake at your own expense at a later date).</p>

<p>The question on Yahoo answers was posted there 3 years ago. </p>

<p>I think after three years the college board has probably rendered their decision.</p>

<p>Here’s the post by Kremtop</p>

I took the SAT today, and as the teacher said, “It is now time to stop, please put your answer booklet in the book and…” I finished bubbling in the last answer. She flipped. Apparently when you bubble an answer half a millisecond after she takes the breath to say her little speach,–that they “have” to file an irregularity report. I tried to exempt myself from it but she said no. (Also, This happened when I was answering the last question of the last section.) What will CollegeBoard do to my test? Will they grade it … or cancel it?

</p>

<p>And here is the one from three years ago on Yahoo answers</p>

Apparently when you bubble an answer half a millisecond after she takes the breath to say her little speach, they “have” to file an irregularity report. I begged her not to and said that I’d erase the answer, but PLEASE dont write me up! She is a ***** and said no. All and all, they may or may not grade it due to my alleged “irregularity”. This really sucks because after 4 hours and fifty bucks, I find that I might have wasted my time. Will they most likely grade it?..Or am I skrewed??

The question on Yahoo answers was posted there 3 years ago.

<p>In that case, apart from a cache error giving the wrong date, it’s possible that someone else is in this similar situation and borrowed the question format because they were unconvinced of the strength of their grammatical and linguistic communication abilities. It has happened before, and will happen again because of the relative unfriendliness of many posters on the Internet who automatically hop on someone’s back for minor typos.</p>
