May 2011 SAT - Scores and Delays

<p>It’s just two more days. Calm the hell down. All of you.</p>

<p>I dont go around promising chocolate cake if I dont have chocolate cake!!!</p>

<p>i will finish studying for Ascaris and Hookworms</p>

<p>This just makes me hate them even more</p>

<p>You know what’s even more ridiculous? The collegeboard had originally said the scores would be out on Monday, like when we took the test. I went on the website at like 12:05am, expecting to see my scores . . instead WAIT TWO MORE DAYS ARGGHHHH</p>

<p>Yeah, I would have been fine with it if they had announced a couple days ago, or even yesterday, because then I wouldn’t have been anxiously waiting for it. </p>

<p>As it is, last time I took an SAT, I completely forgot what day the scores were coming out and only found out that day when everyone was discussing scores in school.</p>

<p>EnticingPlague - exactly!</p>

<p>The “0” as an answer as the problem seems very plausible.</p>

<p>when college board says your essay will be “online”, do they actually type the *****er up? or do they just scan it and include it in your score report as a picture?</p>

<p>They scan it and include it in your score report as a picture. Lame, I know.</p>

<p>Hmmm… 2 more days of agony and anxiety. I won’t be able to get any work done during these days.</p>

<p>Your actual essay is scanned, but if I recall correctly you will have to wait for a few days after the score is first available to see the essay.</p>

<p>The “0” answer was the one for slope of a line</p>

<p>Who does this?</p>

<p>In their defense, which there is not a lot of room for, they are also scoring AP exams right now. I don’t think anyone has mentioned that yet. Could that be a factor?</p>

<p>You’d think they’d have different resources set aside for the AP exams, but it’s definitely possible.</p>

<p>smith they have to score AP exams too, every year, and an unexpectedly delayed score is very rare. Something unusual most likely happened</p>

<p>I seriously hope they have some kind of press release to make for this ish, because I really want to know what kind of crapcake excuse they have now.</p>

<p>2 days and 4 hours left Woooo!!!</p>

<p>Really upset…I was expecting a 2200+</p>

<p>Here’s an interesting read: [Granville</a> SAT scores delayed by anthrax scare](<a href=“http://poststar.com/news/local/article_d5b6c432-7154-5e85-8745-7109e53626c3.html]Granville”>http://poststar.com/news/local/article_d5b6c432-7154-5e85-8745-7109e53626c3.html)</p>

<p>That would suck.</p>

<p>The neurotic parent blogger (theneuroticparent.com) says the delay was caused by the American Idol finale, and has quotes from this thread!</p>

<p>Take an American Chill pill!!! go and party tonight. What is the point of wailing on something, we have no control upon? </p>

<p>I am drinking vodka tonight and then forget it for a while…</p>

<p>Hear me my fellow comrades!</p>

<p>I am sure a sizable number of you scholars are aware of the tragic and unanticipated event that has occurred today: College Board, the “nonprofit” association that claims supremacy on administering standardized tests, has delayed (yes, I repeated, delayed) our cherished SAT I reasoning and SAT II Subject test scores (from May 26th to 28th). </p>

<p>This is not the first time for College Board to employ such egregious, dilatory tactics:[the</a> SAT scores of 2006 were delayed as well due to “technical errors”.](<a href=“http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/08/education/08sat.html]the”>Technical Problems Cause Errors in SAT Test Scores - The New York Times) </p>

<p>Have we not had enough of College Board’s overt incompetence and downright avarice? How long are we, the praised scholars of the New Age, going to stand by without taking action against this greedy, erroneous, and unsatisfactory “nonprofit” organization? College Board has stripped you - no, us - of our precious money, our patriotic Americanism, our testing morality, our unstressed academic days, and now - they have stripped us of our satisfaction of witnessing the release of our invaluable test scores. Indeed, College Board has demonstrated a profound arrogance towards test takers: they think they can constantly toy with us like pawns in a chess game and get away with it… </p>

<p>Scholars, I know how you feel right now - it may not seem like it, but I, Sir Mordred, second son of the Arthurian throne, know that feeling. Yes, it is the feeling of despair stemming from delay - from the delay of being rescued from the current economic recession, from the delay of promised pleasure from your beloved lover, from the delay of waiting for a rollercoaster Kingda Ka ride when you are strapped in (strapped in!), and now, from the delay of College Board’s release of test scores.</p>

<p>It is time to say it, to say something that we the scholars have never had the courage to say before: we’ve had enough. Yes, we’ve had enough of the nefarious behavior of College Board. We will tolerate no more “delays” - no more derision! The time to take action is now.</p>

<p>Before we advance our hatred even further, you should know your enemy. To blame the entire College Board organization is wrong. Yes, it is not the entirety that is wrong, but rather the single individual that commands this dominion of dilatory tactics: [Gaston</a> Caperton](<a href=“http://about.collegeboard.org/leadership/president]Gaston”>David Coleman – About Us | College Board). Caperton is the man behind these “delays” and “technological errors”. The despotic dictator is responsible for hundreds of thousands of stressed students. Caperton is the reason we are not able to sleep soundly in bed at night, Caperton is the reason why we will not have the opportunity to witness our test scores on May 26th, 2011. It was not you that was wrong, it was Caperton!</p>

<p>It is time to take action. Take up your sword, fight for justice! We have had enough of the authoritarian rule of Gaston Caperton. In response, me and notable comrades have organized a nonviolent rebellion to express our dissent and hatred at the dictator. The rebellion - which will now be known as the Scholar’s Rebellion - will take place in the Upper West Side of Manhattan, NYC, at the College Board headquarters. Yes, I will be taking the American Airlines from the San Francisco International Airport to arrive at New York City. You should be there too. Stand with us, side by side, and fight for justice! </p>

<p>I shall fight - we shall fight - against the injustice and dilatory tactics of Gaston Caperton. From this moment on, the Scholar’s Rebellion will become a reality. Down with College Board, down the dictator that is Gaston Caperton.</p>
