okay i was signed up to take writing and math IC today. i took the writing, and then i decided that i wasnt ready for the math so i didnt take it, and the proctor let me leave early. she said i could request a refund. but then today i got home and someone said that if you dont take both then they cancel ALL scores... does anyone know anything about this?!

"You must cancel ALL scores for that test date. "

If you didn't take the test, you don't need to take it. It's just as if you never signed up for it.

You only need to cancel if you took the test, but don't want it to be scored. If you had taken math and then decided you didn't want it scored, you would have to cancel all your scores.

Since you decided not to take the math before actually taking it, you don't need to cancel.

LOOPHOLE...

"If you are taking the Math Level IC or Math Level IIC and your calculator malfunctions, you can cancel these scores, but still have your other Subject Tests scored. "

Tell them that your calculator malfunctioned.

i beleive that when my procor said this, he also said "however, you must notify me at hte time that your calculator malfunctioned" but anyways just be very assertive and call them and don't back down, demand your rights! my freind did this, and it worked. im sure youll be ok

From Collegeboard.com:

I signed up for three Subject Tests, but I only want to take two. What should I do?

On test day, simply take the test(s) you want to take. There's no need to contact us.
