<p>In a nutshell, could someone describe what to do when you want an exam to be hand-scored?</p>
<p>Call up collegeboard, ask them to either mail you the hand-scoring form or fax it to you (it took my representative 4 days to actually find the form for hand-scoring). After you fill out your form, send it back to them via fax or mail. Make sure to put what tests you want hand scoring and yeah, you also have to sign this thing that says your score may lower. They will get back to you in 3-5 weeks with the new score on your website. (I have yet to get back my March New SAT hand scored result).</p>
<p>how could your score go down if you got it hand scored?</p>
<p>i guess if the machine misses your mistake, but they tell you to sign mainly because they don't want to get sued.</p>
<p>most of the time, your score will increase if you make a smear on the scantron</p>
