<p>Do you think it is wise to have my ACT hand-scored? I know that ACT is hardly ever erroneous; however, I believe that I should have scored higher on the test. I know that quite a few of my bubbles were only a 1/4 to a 1/2 filled due to time-constraints, nervousness, and the dullness of my pencil; I also know that many of the marks were light. I really feel that my English and especially reading scores should have been higher than they were. Any thoughts? I know that when I ordered an answer key for the April test, some of my questions read "omitted," even though I was 100% sure I left no question omitted. I decided not to do anything about. Even a few mistakes can effect my score tremendously. Comments are very much appreciated.</p>
<p>I'd think it would be more satisfying to order the test booklet, answer key, and photocopy of your answer document and score it yourself. If you find that your score should've been higher, you can request a handscore then. If not, at least you will be satisfied that it was scored correctly.</p>
<p>I agree with Mrs. Ferguson. It'd probably be easier to just have it handscore them for you, but by getting all that stuff there you'll be able to see what you did wrong if the score reported is correct.</p>
<p>...and if there's a next time, just fill in the bubbles correctly. It's not that difficult.</p>
<p>If you didn't follow instructions and filled in the bubbles incorrectly, I don't think you deserve to get any points back. I'm sure the directions specify how to bubble in your responses.</p>
<p>It's not like I filled in all my bubbles that way...I was just trying to beat the clock. When the proctor calls time, there is nothing you can do. Thanks for the advice guys.</p>
