Apr. SAT math scores lower than expected?

<p>My D took the April SAT and we viewed the online scores today. Her math score is quite a bit lower than she expected. We're considering requesting hand-scoring. Anybody else have a considerably lower-than-expected math score?</p>

<p>Mine was about 20 points off what I expected (740 expected, got a 720), but it was a negligible difference. I expected 2 wrong, 1 omit. I got 3 wrong, 2 omit.</p>

<p>I have a lower-than-expected critical reading score and am considering hand-scoring.</p>

<p>I had no issue with the math (expected 780, got 790), but my CR seems a little low. I also am considering hand scoring because there are a few where I changed my answer, but my eraser did not completely remove the old mark. This makes me paranoid that I perhaps got a lower score than I deserved, but I don't know. How much does hand scoring cost? Then I'll decide if it's worth soothing my paranoia.</p>

<p>considering my inablity at math i never expect anything, but my math score did go down 20 points from the last time (january)</p>

<p>Higher, actually. I thought I bombed it, but I got a (admittedly mediocre by this site's standards) 700. I was surprised at my writing score, though.</p>

<p>I don't think it was a scoring error, though, so I'm not rescoring. Retaking instead.</p>

<p>Does hand scoring cost extra, or does it even matter since I paid the extra 20 to get the test back with explanations?</p>

<p>3 wrong was a 740 -- seems a little low.</p>

<p>My CR score was way lower than expected. I got a 600-- I expected 650+ because I thought CR was very easy. I'm gonna see what part they say I screwed up with (sentence comp vs. passage) and see if I should do handscoring or not.</p>

<p>3 wrong for 740 is not bad at all. In Jan. 2005, 3 wrong was 720, so there should be nothing to complain about.</p>

<p>i went out of the test center thinking i got an 800 on math, and after i checked answers with you guys here, and did not find one that i got wrong.</p>

<p>however, i was very dissapointed to get a 710. either i made many careless mistakes on the really easy ones, or i misbubbled, or collegeboard screwed up. however, 99% chance it was my fault. dissapointing, nonetheless.</p>

<p>Re; April SAT: S's math score was MUCH lower than expected, especially compared to how well he did on the PSAT. He worked hard to prepare, and was very dissapointed.</p>

<p>My April SAT math scores were 60 points lower than from January. :(</p>

<p>I was a little bit surprised by my math score (680)... It says I missed eight, but to be honest, that doesn't seem right...Yeah, I thought the math was surprisingly difficult (harder than the practice tests anyway, the ones i got in the high 700s on...) Still though, I don't remember having much trouble with more than 3 questions.... Although my total score was ok (2170), I'm going to take the SAT again just to raise my math score (assuming it wasn't misgraded).</p>

<p>My math score went up 90 points from last time so I was happy, but I did study like crazy for it.</p>

<p>I got a 710 in math when I was expecting something over 750. But I was expecting a 600-something on CR and I got a 720. I thought it was pretty weird...</p>

<p>Yeah, my math score was also a little lower than I expected. I thought I got one question wrong, but the folks at collegeboard say i got 3 wrong, 0 omit (720).... </p>

<p>By the way, does anybody know what kind of a scale they used for april's math section, and was it better/worse than other months? I'm probably going to retake in June...</p>

<p>I have a thread in the SAT specific forum where I'm compiling the scaling.</p>

<p>I got a question...</p>

<p>On the math section the report says I got 1 question wrong and 4 left blank. In my study book its says this should be a 710. So why do I get a 690??!! its not fair!</p>

<p>chaos 101....by any chance did you test on Sunday? What was your raw score? I got raw score 49 on math which was a 690.By any chance did you test on Sunday?</p>
