<p>on the scantron for the SAT the marks i made kinda like bled through to the other side...i dont know how to explain it but pencil makes went through the paper...</p>
<p>i hope that doesnt mess up my score</p>
<p>i was worried about the samething</p>
<p>I did! It was smearing though, not bleeding through. I noticed it when I had to go back a few pages and correct some total section misgrids. Shiaaat, I remember.</p>
<p>i was able to see some of the bubbles too from the other side.</p>
<p>I am so sure this is the reason why my scores were so bad in may05, and sat2 jan06. The scores were not what I expected at all. (eg i thought 780 maths 2c, but 720. I'm so sure I did better than 720).</p>
<p>And in Oct06 sat1, I made sure I thoroughly rubbed out any pencil markings - I kinda made a scene as well: rubbing so hard that the desk wobbled and squeaked lol. I rubbed so hard that the blue outlines rubbed off a bit too haha.
And what do you know. my score jumped 300 points, and I didnt even study THAT much for it.</p>
<p>thats scary to know... i'm sure my bubbles appeared on the other side as well.</p>
<p>I wonder. If you ordered a rescore, would they count the bubbles with a bit of smeared graphite from an opposite page correct or still wrong?</p>
<p>you guys are worrying too much, i had this same problems every time i took the SAT and it did not affect my score..stop using excuses</p>
<p>Sorrrrry. I guess I'm still in awe that I got 630M, when on practice tests I always get 770+s with minutes to spare.</p>
<p>Thanks etti for the assurance. I was also worried because I had the same problem.</p>
<p>It happened to me too, but I scored what I was expecting, so it's definitely not a problem.</p>
<p>etti--im not trying to make an excuse. its just something i noticed and was wondering if other ppl noticed too. however i think that its possible that some of the marks could mess up one question or so....def. not more than that tho</p>
<p>ok im sorry that i came off as an a$$...bad day today</p>
<p>i just want to reassure you all so you dont worry about it...i tend to mark my bubbles very very with dark marks, because i am afraid it won't scan well and it has bled through every single time or smeared, and it has not affected my score...so do not worry at all.</p>
