The College Board Reviews (328)

We have contacted this customer and resolved the issue by refunding the duplicate order.

Same complaint as most of the complaints I have read on the Revdex.com site. Ordered the May SAT Q&A, paid $18 and nothing. Two calls to customer service were promises never fulfilled. Asking for a supervisor is ineffective as representative is well-trained to block such attempts.
Asked for an email PDF since next SAT is in a couple weeks. "Sorry, it's a privacy issue, cannot email." That's simply not true. I'm the customer, I can waive the privacy issue.
Class action anyone?

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

Although my issue has (for the most part) been resolved, The College Board fails to acknowledge that they have a real issue with their services. The only thing I requested was that my documentation be sent electronically, which wasn't even done. Instead, they mailed the documentation, which took time to sort and process manually. I have a meeting with my enrollment counselor tomorrow to discuss the results of my transcript evaluations, and this meeting cannot happen without the AP scores having been processed. It is now too late for the electronic processes to take place and I must just keep my fingers crossed and hope that my institution is able to process my documentation by hand (rather than digitally). In short, at this point, The College Board cannot resolve my issue.

We were able to locate multiple accounts for this customer. The SAT scores were under [redacted] and the PSAT under [redacted]. The accounts...

were merged and we called father to advise and sent a follow up email with the information.

In regards to the case for [redacted], concerning his son
[redacted], we have conveyed the following information to this
customer.  The College Board released information to the public shortly after the June exam informing them of the
issue with the June *, 2015 SAT Exam.  This information was then updated
on our website on June [redacted].  The announcement that was
released on our website contained the following information: “Q: Is there an
opportunity for students to take the test again?We
remain confident in the reliability of scores from the June * administration of
the SAT and don't want to cause undue anxiety for students by making them
believe they need to sit for the test again. However, we have waived the fee
for the October SAT administration for students who let us know that their
testing experience was negatively affected by the printing error and we will
continue to do so, through the September * registration deadline for the
October administration.”Please
refer to the rest of the announcement at [redacted] created a case on 10/**/15 requesting a refund for the amount he paid
for the October registration.  This was the first contact made by [redacted] to The College Board concerning the issue of the June *, 2015 SAT®
exam.  He was advised at that time that the deadline had passed to receive
a waiver for the October SAT® registration as that deadline was September *,
2015. A
second case was created and contact was made with [redacted] on November **,
2015 regarding the same issue.  At that time, the information was provided
to [redacted] regarding the June *, 2015 SAT exam.  He was informed of the
announcement on our website and that the deadline was September *, 2015. 
He asked why it was not a standard refund offered to all customers and was
informed that these issues were reviewed on a case by case basis, per company
policy, for students or customers who contacted us prior to the September [redacted] registration deadline.   At
this point in time an exception will not be made for [redacted] to receive a
refund for the October SAT® registration.  The deadline was clearly posted
on The College Board website as early as June **, 2015.  [redacted] did
not contact our company until well after the deadline and after the
administration of the October SAT® exam.

Customer Care Specialist Tia B[redacted] spoke to customer yesterday and placed a new order to have the report located.  Mr. P[redacted] should have her direct contact information and should contact her directly regarding any questions and status of the score report.

Lead Customer Care Specialist, Reid R[redacted] has made contact with the customer.  A refund was issued for the initial archive fee as the customer was provided misinformation by the original call center agent she spoke with.  Reid is working with our internal data team to obtain the...

percentile information and will maintain contact with the customer.

The College Board does not administer the ACT and cannot address this complaint. This should be directed to the company that offers that particular test at [redacted].

The customer's account and call history have been reviewed and refunds have been issued in the amount of $31.00 and $42.25 for the replacement order that was placed on January ** and its fulfilment.

The update was made 8/**/15.  A message was left today by James M[redacted] AP to confirm this information.

Scoring was delayed for this test due to the test taker filling out information on the answer sheet incorrectly. This required manual correction and the test has now been scored. Scores were released on Monday, February ** and the customer has been notified.

Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

Thanks you for your response, College Board sent the SAT score on Oct ** for the [redacted] (Oct *) request after we call and complaint. The 2nd request (early Oct ** before they sent [redacted] request) for 2 days service did not sent as they say will sent out in 2 days with the charge more than 42 dollars for the second time. If they did not provide me this service they should not charge it and refund to student it turn out I pay them 2 times (one for regular and one for rush service). I have included the capture pic status I just login today on College Board. I just want It to be fair and honest with student. Have a good day and thank for your help.

Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me and the matter has been resolved.
However, I do not believe it is satisfactory to College Board's other customers who may still remain in the dark about the company's non-functioning system. Had I not rigorously followed up with College Board I would never have known that my scores were NOT being sent; nor would anyone at College Board.
Each college has a deadline for receipt of scores. By keeping customers in the dark about the company's failures, College Board is risking the education and futures of all of their customers.
The time to tell customers that the company's system is down (which it has been for months), and that because of this orders cannot be processed, is *before the customers pays for the service -- not after.
Because College Board is a monopoly, the only organization who can distribute SAT scores, it is understandable that customer service does not rank as a priority. Ethics, and right business practices should be reviewed carefully at this organization, and should be reviewed under public scrutiny.
Sincerely,
[redacted]

Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

I appreciate the business's response but I have a new issue. I took the SAT with Essay on Saturday November *, 2016. I had multiple issues which included: being given the wrong test booklets, vulgar language from the testing proctor, lack of instructions from the testing proctor, overall disruption and lack of concentration within the testing center, constant ringing of the proctor's cell phone, and many more issues. I would like to speak with someone about these issues and my experience while taking the SAT with Essay before the scoring of my test, and to see what can be done. I called the general customer service, and they told me that it can take up to fourteen business days for a response. By that time, my test will be scored. If someone can get back to me ASAP.
