ACTFL didn't go so well for me

[ArshveerCheema]

So I'm born in Canada but my ethnicity is Indian and I can speak Punjabi well (my Hindi speaking is iffy) and I went to India twice in the past two years (this year I stayed for three and a half months) and I had communicated well with literally countless people and when people from India come here, they comment on how well I speak Punjabi yet my interviewer gave an intermediate-low. I was totally fine with not getting the top score (Superior) as during the test, because of it being an interview and all, I definitely slacked a little due to nervousness but come on, I'm literally a native speaker.

My score only equates to 3 ACE credits.

I paid $30 USD for a test review but I doubt that's going to do me any good.

Reading the definition of intermediate low, that's a score I'd expect to get for Hindi if I were to take it, not Punjabi.

Were you stuttering during the exam? I stuttered maybe once or twice and thus I didn’t gain Superior but I am used to speaking Spanish very fast. Don't know if someone can redo the test or attempt the written test, just making sure the proctor accepts keyboards for Non Latin script languages.

Not sure if I stuttered at all. I quite possibly did but still, intermediate-low is stupid lol. Thanks for the input

Hmm, I've never done ACTFL, are there any appeal options? I mean, you can indicate your decision to appeal and want to get at least a chance to have an improved grade. There are various factors, you can indicate there may have been a communication issue with the requirements to get to a certain grade level, or you were just a bit nervous and wasn't prepared to answer, whatever the case may be, you want to relay that to them...

Yeah, I said I requested a review. 

1. Scummy that it costs
2. I didn't have an option of writing a comment along with it
3. I doubt the review will do me any good

Uhh guys, did ACTFL give me the wrong badge?

What I got: https://www.credly.com/badges/05296cd4-d...public_url

What I should've gotten: https://www.credly.com/org/lti/badge/spe...ficiency.1

The badge they gave you is higher than the other one. I wouldn't complain.

Not complaining lol was just asking if I was reading it right so I'll know whether they might fix it or not (if a school notices the discrepancy and inquires).

I already sent it to Pierpont though and I'm not worried about them.

Yeah, under evidence which is my score. They matched my score with a different (better) badge

Says in the text below Intermediate low.

The badge the OP received says:

 Intermediate High to Advanced Low range 


What they say they should have received says:

Novice High to Intermediate Low Level range 


The badge they received is a higher level. Novice is beginner which is below intermediate.
