College Discussion - View Single Post - White-out on AP tests

byungsook · 05-11-2008, 12:59 AM

Hello everyone,

I have recently taken an AP US History Exam, and on the FRQs I used a "correction tape" (not the fluid white-out). Today, I found out that we are not supposed to use white-out on the essay to white out any mistakes. My teacher never told us that we weren't allowed to do so, and on the day of the exam, no one checked what was in our pencil case. Furthermore, I asked the proctor if I could use white-out when I was writing the essays, and he said yes (I have my friend who was taking the exam as well as a witness).

What will happen to my results? Will it get canceled? Will it be marked as a 0? Will I get marked as a cheater? Or will it be all right??

Has anyone else been in a similar situation?

Please reply back! I'm desperate!!
