May 2, 2026, SAT Score Delay?

I took the May 2026 SAT and recently received the “scores delayed while we conduct a review” email from College Board’s test security team. My portal still says, “Your Score Is Coming,” So, I'm really anxious and trying to understand what this means.

For context, my score progression over time was:
910 → 870 → 1140 on official SAT attempts, and I kept studying heavily after my March 2026 SAT got cancelled due to my test center closing. My Bluebook practice tests gradually improved too:
620 → 970 → 870 → 1250 → 1200 → 1290 → 1370 right before the actual exam. the first "620" was just my first time trying bluebook out and I just randomly did it without thinking to see how much I could get.

I’ve researched a lot about SAT security reviews, and I’ve seen mixed experiences online:

  • some students eventually got their scores released,
  • some were asked to fill out forms/questionnaires,
  • and some had scores cancelled due to misconduct or cheating ig

During my actual exam I also had a technical issue while charging my laptop where the screen bugged and became very small and half of it was black for the whole test, so I’m wondering if that could have contributed to the review too.

I’m a senior graduating soon, so the waiting is honestly stressing me out badly. Has anyone had a similar situation and still ended up receiving their score?

Contacting SAT

Does anyone know how to contact a person at SAT who can actually make decisions? My kid is getting screwed over by the people at SAT and none of them will ever escalate the call to someone who can actually help us.

Long story short, my kid had to take the real SAT while out of state as a PSAT makeup. A tech glitch at the testing center caused only his score to error out. They forced us to travel 3.5 hours away to take a makeup and are now not opening the retake for the testing center. The kind lady who administers the test is trying her best and is a saint, but they will not budge. I am beyond mad and frustrated. We have been dealing with this for weeks now and I just want to speak with someone there who can actually help us.

What should I do based off of this score? Secondly, how exactly is the SAT graded?

Like genuinely how? I literally studied for it a long time and I felt so confident on it, not to mention I had to use the bathroom on the math part and missed some questions yet still got higher than Reading? Mind you, I literally have always gotten a way better score on Reading and the entire test was hard as hell. Is it just a brain-wiring thing? Because I ace all my math classes and do well on the tests, and I took honors/AP classes for ELA. But whenever it comes to PSAT or SAT I just do horribly on them. My PSAT 9 was 970, PSAT 10 somehow 940 and now this. I’ve never dropped below an A in any ELA or Math classes, and I’m praised by my teachers in those subjects specifically. It’s not like I care to go Ivy League, but still as someone who’s incredibly smart and a good test taker this genuinely pissed me off. Does anyone know how it grades your score? Sorry for the rant/yap session I just had to get this off my chest.

When are school day PSAT 10 scores coming out today??

I was hoping they would be released by 8EST, but that clearly isn’t the case for mine at least. Anyone else in that last testing window with their results?

I want to get a 1400+ SAT score with 3 months of prep, and in one go. Any tips?

So um, I want to get a 1400+ SAT score with 3 months of prep, and in one attempt, I can't really afford to get external help or give it again. And I suck at math. Any tips?

(actually my goal is to just get a 1300+ score, but i feel like its better to aim higher. )

Taking SAT for the first time!

I really need y’all‘s help because I was planning on taking the June SAT but and four weeks are left for it. I don’t know and I haven’t started studying at all this year nothing and it’s my last year and my teacher was like since ure in 12th grade Your last shot is in June. I was like what because what if I don’t get a good score what will that mean cause it’s my first SAT and four weeks? I feel like four weeks are nothing because it’s my first time taking it so it will be kinda hard to start from scratch and I want a good score. I want exactly 1300.
