<p>Has anyone else ever filled in all the answers to an entire section in the wrong section of the answer document while taking the SAT? This happened to me today, and I was told that an irregularity report would be filed and it would all be taken care of. I was then asked to just circle my answers inside the actual test booklet for the section which I screwed up the bubbles because my circled answers inside the actual test booklet would be scored. If this has happened to you, was your score report delayed? Also, do you think Collegeboard did a good job taking care of the problem and reporting your scores correctly?</p>

<p>Circling answers inside the test book is NOT enough. Anything not on the answer sheet will not be scored. The correct procedure is spelled out clearly in the proctor’s instruction manual. They were supposed to 1) give you another answer sheet 2) not allow you to erase or transfer any bubbles 3) continue testing and put all future answers in the correct section of the second answer sheet. 4) explain it all clearly on the irregularity report (example, test taker’s answers to section 3 are in section 2 of the first answer sheet). For example. if you accidentally skipped ahead in the test book, say you did section 4 in the section 3 answer sheet section, you would then do section 3 in the section 3 answers of the second answer sheet (while everyone else is doing section 4), then move on to section 5, skipping section 4 of the new answer sheet, and the proctor would specify that your section 4 answers are in section 3 of the first answer sheet. Then, after everyone is finished and dismissed, you would be given time under supervision to fill in the front cover of the second answer sheet (name, address, registration etc). </p>
<p>@BreadBasket My proctor never explained any of this to me! At first she told me to start on section three when everyone else started on section four (I had completed four at this point). She told me to just circle my section three answers in the test booklet. Then, during the break, she told me to switch my section three answers to section four on the answer document, erase all of the section three answers on the answer document, and then copy my circled answers for section three onto the now cleared section three portion of the answer document. I began doing this, but then a supervisor came in and told me to leave my answer document exactly how it is (section four answers in section three and section three answers circled in test booklet), and he said that he would file an irregularity report explaining exactly what happened. He told me that Collegeboard would be able to grade section three by looking at my circled answers in the test booklet, and switch section three of my answer document over to section four. </p>
<p>The exact same incident happened to me, will my score eventually come out? till this moment it didn’t </p>
<p>Very similar incident here. Have either of you received your scores?</p>
<p>It took nearly two months and many phone calls for my scores to come out, however, the scores were accurate (I think).</p>
<p>I did this during the December 2014 International SAT, and realised when the proctor told us to move on to the next section. I quickly copied the answers to the correct section, and erased the wrongly bubbled section. Cost me a few minutes but hey. #Worth :p</p>
<p>^^Yeah, you definitely did the right thing. I had to go through so much BS to get them to correctly grade my answer document.</p>
