<p>On the little tab at the top of my PSAT score report it says I'm in 9th grade, but that I'm graduating in 2014. This is a problem because I'm a sophomore (10th grade). I guess this means I must have misbubbled my grade level?</p>
<p>Do you think this could potentially be a problem when applying to summer programs and whatnot which require PSAT scores? </p>
<p>Most importantly, is there any way I could get this fixed?</p>
<p>It is a problem and it can be fixed. I never took the PSAT, but on my SAT 2’s I bubbled in the wrong grade level and you have to call college board and have them change it. My school counsellor said it was really important to fix or else your scores could be cancelled. I’d assume its the same with the PSAT</p>
<p>I disagree with Laeven. Since the psat taken in any other year besides Junior year, is just for practice, misbubbling means nothing. If you submit the scores for summer programs, the summer program won’t even notice or care.</p>
<p>The only real impact is on your psat report. The %'s are based on grade level, and so your %'s are somewhat inflated. But since no one really looks at the %'s…only the score is what matters to summer programs…it matters not.</p>

<p>That’s just wrong, and makes no sense. Thousands of students mis-bubble on each and every test (missing SSN’s are common, for example) CB couldn’t afford to take the time to cancel scores and then handle the resulting phones calls…</p>
<p>My son did this junior year (accidently put down wrong year for graduation). I had him write a letter explaining the mistake. It took about a month from then to get it corrected–he received a letter from College Board and his account online showed the corrected graduation date.</p>
<p>Well maybe it’s different for the PSAT, like I said, I didn’t take it and wouldn’t know. But I disagree with bluebayou on the SAT. If you’re aiming for a safety school then sure, maybe a misbubble here or there wouldn’t raise too much concern. But if you want a competitive school and you’re on the edge of getting in and they realize your grades or age dont match up, that’s cause for rejection. When it comes to applying to college, you want to leave as little to chance as you can. Better safe than sorry. </p>
<p>Also, SSN’s aren’t required to be bubbled in for the SAT usually. I never bubbled one in.</p>
<p>Thanks for the input, I think I’ll just ask my counselor what she recommends. </p>
<p>The odd thing is that my grade level is wrong, but my graduation year is right, so I have the correct (i.e. sophomore) percentages.</p>
