<p>Just wondering if anyone has used this service and how it has worked out? Can they lower your score if they find an error that goes against you?</p>
<p>Yes. It absolutely can.</p>

<p>Fees are refundable only if the test companies agree they made a mistake, and your score could go down — for example, if the scanner mistakenly registered an eraser mark as a correct answer. Results are final: none of that, “Wait a minute, I prefer the first score after all.”</p>

<p>Damnit. I already ordered hand-scoring. </p>

I’d not sweat it if I were you. I think it highly unlikely the score will change at all. Also, it seems far more likely that the computer would register a poorly erased choice as a fouled answer, (giving two answers on same question) than picking one up as correct. Don’t sweat it.</p>
<p>@CATDECAL I just want to say that you’re wrong. I just talked to ACT and the score will only stay the same or go up. It will not go down. (Words of the ACT representative). </p>
<p>@hawkace Sweet! Happy to be wrong about that! Thanks so much for the update. Based on that I’ll probably request a hand score myself!</p>
<p>Just goes to show, never trust the New York Times!</p>
