It Isn’t You: Testing Under Adverse Conditions
ОглавлениеYour test isn’t actually given by the College Board. It’s given by a proctor qualified by the College Board, and this proctor is required to adhere to certain standards. If something odd happens during the test that you believe negatively affected your score, such as construction noises, no working air conditioning (say in Phoenix), or anything else that shouldn’t be the case, register a complaint with the College Board customer service right away for a chance to have those scores cancelled and for you to retake the exam, at no charge. Complaining to the testing center staff does no good: You must communicate directly with the College Board. You don’t have much time to register this complaint, so don’t delay.
Schools tend to freeze the heck out of the testing rooms, so being chilly isn’t grounds for registering a complaint! It does mean that you should prepare by wearing layers that you can remove if needed. Note that you may not be allowed to wear a jacket or a cap, but a sweater is okay.
