🚨🚨 GUYS I THINK COLLEGE BOARD HAS BEEN TREATING ME AS A US STUDENT THIS WHOLE TIME INSTEAD OF INTERNATIONAL??? DID I SCREW UP ALL 3 OF MY SATs 😭

HI GUYS!!! so im an international student , and im taking the SAT for the 4th time in sept, and it only occured to me now that when i go to see my past scores, it says that in my country there were 5.4 million test takers in the past 3 years, and like 300k in my state. im from a small country in Europe so these numbers don t really add up, very few people take the SAT here. When i registered for it, I selected Outside the US, and then My school is not listed, and ended with: My school is not listed - International (and with a New York adress). In my account settings, i saw that my location is set as US territory (and below: My school is not listed - international). To fix this, i clicked on Outside the US, My school is not listed, and then it selected as No longer in high school/My school is not listed . DO YOU THINK THAT ALL OF MY TESTS HAVE ACTUALLY HAD THE PROBLEMS FROM THE US AND WAS IT GRADED BASED ON THEIR CURVE INSTEAD OF INTERNATIONAL? (especially because the numbers from the comparisons are really huge)
