Answer sheet name misread Q for an O?

Does anyone else have this problem?

Last year, for the AP test, collegeboard misread the Q in my name as O on the answer sheet (no I did not misbubble both times)…and I had to call them to change it.

This year, when I just called in for my AP number, they could not find my name…well guess what I told them to check if the Q in my name was an O, and guess what, they found my number…and no I did not misbubble again. Now, they have to merge my files…and the reports they send out have to be changed, causing work on both sides.

Is it just me or do they have a problem with Qs and Os? I remember on the AP sheet, they even had a big Q next to the Qs…was that to prevent this? I remember one collegeboard representative told me this problem occrued with someone else too…but I was wondering if this occrus frequently? Because its just odd…

On everyother test I have ever taken, this problem has never occured…just with the collegeboard’s tests.
