Hand Scoring Sucsess!

Test Preparation
1

<p>Just wanted to let you guys know that hand scoring worked for me. I started with a 2,060 on the March Test (670 Wr, 690 M, 700 R) but when I got my Question and Answer service I noticed that I had gridded two math questions wrong. I sent a letter to the College Board requesting hand scoring and yesterday I got a new score report showing a 710 M! I went online and it was online as well!</p>

<p>That's great, does the hand scoring work for AP exams also? So does that mean that after you get your score, if you suspect a gridding error, you can demand it to be hand scored? (with addition money of course)</p>

3

<p>Ya basically, I think it can be done for AP Exams too. I think it was $30.00 for the SAT (does not include a re-reading of the essay).</p>

4

<p>was the $30.00 really worth 20 points?</p>

5

<p>I felt that my answer sheet was kind of messy and I'm afraid that the machine won't read it correctly. So all I have to do is wait for my AP score and if it seems like my messy answer sheet affected the score than all I have to do is request a regrade by hand?</p>

6

<p>I think so because it was from 690 to 710 (breaking the 700 barrier) and it also brought the percentile from 92 to 95.</p>

<p>The process for ordering it is described here: <a href="http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/exgrd_rep.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/exgrd_rep.html&lt;/a>. All the way at the bottom.</p>

8

<p>i think if they find that they have made a mistake, they refund u the money they charge for hand scoring</p>

9

<p>The College Board acts like it's more confusing than that, but I don't know for sure.</p>

10

<p>actually i think they only refund for sat hand scoring mistakes not ap</p>

11

<p>should i get my math section of sat hand scored , has hand scoring helped anyone?? I got a 670m and was expection 700+</p>

12

<p>It helped me, see the first post of this thread, (But I know there was a problem from my Q&S form.</p>

13

<p>so what do you think i do ?</p>

14

<p>how do you get your sat 1 hand scored?</p>

15

<p>I dunno, I doubt, since there it is ullikely a problem with gridding like there was for me you'll get anything, but you never know. If you decide to do it call the college board they'll tell you the process.</p>

<p>"I noticed that I had gridded two math questions wrong"</p>

<p>dmctNY8: Did you mix up the grids or something...or miss a bubble. Does the graders be able to correct mistakes like this? Or was it more like an eraser/pencil mark problem?</p>

17

<p>Does this work with the PSAT too? I had several right answers but filled them in incorrectly?</p>

18

<p>guys, what if ur hand-scored score is lower, do they take the higher one? also, is there any website with the rules and procedure for hand-scoring cuz i cant find one, and the one DMCTNY8 gave is for APs...</p>

<p>Here is the information about SAT Hand Scoring: <a href="http://www.collegeboard.com/prof/counselors/tests/sat/scores/score_reports_svcs.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.collegeboard.com/prof/counselors/tests/sat/scores/score_reports_svcs.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>I don't know if it was an eraser problem or what but, without being 100% sure, I would assume to the 20 points came from two questions.</p>

<p>One I entered, acording to the Q&S form ".5/8" when the correct answer was actully 5/8, and the other I entered 2.51 when the correct answer was 5/2 or 2.5.</p>
