Received a return to go back to my SA gig for FT. I realized that in my resume for what I applied to get the SA gig, I accidently overstated one of my SAT 2 subject scores by 100 points. It was a complete oversight as I only put it on to reduce white space. My actual SAT and other SAT subject scores are accurate. Will I be penalized for this if it didn't come up in background checks for SA?

They don’t check SAT scores. That being said how can you overstate an SAT score by 100 points? It’s like saying your GPA is off by 0.3
I am not certain so others might be able to give you a definite answer, but I'm pretty sure that they can't check SAT scores without asking you directly. Obviously you should always try to make sure everything is accurate, but mistakes do happen. I don't even think they check SAT scores usually
