<p>Hey Everyone,
Here is my problem.</p>
<p>I got my October SAT score, </p>
<p>I was totally shock when I see a 480 on my writing (I got an 8 on my essay by the way).</p>
<p>It's just really weird, because I always score at least 600 above on my practice tests and the writing in October just doesn't seem that hard for me.</p>
<p>I know it is not likely that college board will be wrong...but.....</p>
<p>yeah....
Very discouraging.....</p>
<p>what should I do?</p>
<p>Did you order the Questions & Answer service?</p>
<p>No, thats one of my problem....
Maybe I scrue up on the bubbling....</p>
<p>Will the college board to help me if I ask them?</p>
<p>should i order the QA i was pretty shocked on my math score. I thought i only got 1-2 wrong and i end up w/ a 650..........</p>
<p>I got a 480 writing too.But I don't know why either.at least 200 lower than practice.</p>
<p>i think i might order QA... the collegeboard wont help u if u screwed up the bubbling, they'll just tell u to retake blah blah u can improve. My writing was about 100 points lower than expected too, and i did really well on barrons and the blue books practice questions. According to this though, i got like 12 wrong?</p>
<p>Can I ask them to recheck my score, is that possible?</p>
<p>ya but that costs money and 2-3 weeks</p>
<p>And I'm applying ED, scrued!!!
I am going to retake it in November, but I don't know hows that gonna look...since I have that bad a record already.....</p>
<p>just take the ACT. there is always that option. But ya, i think im definitely going to review my test. But just how often do they screw up? I mean if theres like 0 % chance that it was their fault, then i dont want to waste my time.</p>
<p>The chance they scrue up is?</p>
<p>i sent them a email asking how often they are wrong. Hopefully i will get a reply soon</p>
<p>yeah kevinscool, i thought i would get into 2000+ but i was utterly disappointed. My scores were low..... maybe they messed up they had before! (hoping for the best :(.. and some scores arent online yet so they mite be having some technical difficulties........ or i am just too optimistic</p>
<p>well, im not trying to be dilusional or too optimistic. But i HONESTLY like in my mind, do not see how i did so bad on writing. I duno we'll see, im ordering QAS. Hopefully somthings up. GL Jinks man, you may want to order too, if you were very confident.</p>
<p>i dont know my confidence is shaterred (sp?) see no more confidence :(...........</p>
<p>ya man the sat tends to do that. ive NEVER gotten above what i expect, only below lol</p>
<p>ahh i know how you feel
my writing went down 100 points than usual.
=(</p>

<p>Well then, this should tell you that you chronically overestimate your scoring range with the SAT, so you must have unrealistic expectations.</p>
<p>I am also applying early decision and also expected a higher score. Should I get the Q&A service or just pay 50$ for the reevaluation? I am taking the subject tests in November and their results should also be out 3 weeks later so I think if there's something wrong, it might actually help for the early decision.</p>
<p>I don't understand how they score the essay. The last time I got a 12 and this time I got an 8? I thought that this essay was very logical and detailed. I am taking AP Psych right now so I thought that I had some really good statistics and specific references. Can I appeal this essay score?<br>
By the way, the CR and Math scores were great - I don't want to mess them up.</p>
