Possible Covid exposure at SAT

In case anyone is still reading this, I thought I’d provide a followup.

We called as soon as our local Health department opened and they agreed it was enough of an exposure for her to get a Covid test, and told us to call back on Thursday to get a test on Friday. When I called on Thursday they were booked for Friday, so we had to wait until Monday. She’s still awaiting the results from her Monday test, but at this point it’s been almost two weeks since the SAT so it’s almost moot.

I heard nothing from the College Board or the neighboring Health Department in response to my complaints. It doesn’t seem they took this seriously. But she got her score today and it was a 1550 so I’m glad they didn’t cancel the scores for the room.

I still think I will call the principal before the next SAT is taken-- not to get the proctor in trouble for the past, but to strongly encourage him to enforce the rules for the future.
