I just rec'd a phone call from college board. If you took General English Comp with essay from the period of 2/2007 - 9/2009 you may receive a call/letter from the scorers of the exam. It appears the computer, which scored the multiple choice portion of the exam, was using the wrong conversion chart. In my case, it meant my first attempt at this exam where I missed by 1 point was actually a PASS!! And, my second attempt which resulted in a 64, was actually a 63. CRAZY!!! This is a HUGE snaffu for college board and could effect many students.
Please do NOT go flooding the phone system. They are working their way through the students. If you score has changed they will contact you. My hope and prayer is that no one who passed by 1 or two points is going to be negatively impacted! They are also contacting your college directly, if you designated an institution to send scores to during the exam.
