<p>I took the March SAT and got a 2150 (math: 640 cr: 730 writing: 780). On the PSAT, I got 74 in math. I also got a 770 on the Math IC test and an 800 on the Math IIC test. I also have a high A in Calc BC. </p>
<p>Should I get my score verified?</p>
<p>I compared my answers with the answers on the March 2012 Math thread. I seem to have gotten every problem except one wrong! Should I order score verification?</p>
<p>You got a 640, yet you think you got almost every problem incorrect? Could you clarify what you mean? It sounds as if you received a fantastic score, composite and otherwise; I’m not sure what the issue is here…</p>
<p>I think he meant everything but one right, not wrong.</p>
<p>Piquant, I would score verify. Time consuming but might be worth it.</p>
<p>That said, also realize that at your score range (650-800), the math drops VERY rapidly. Just missing a few questions can instantly cost you 100 points. So maybe you actually did make a few careless mistakes.</p>
<p>Sorry! I meant to say everything but one right.
I was surprised to find that I received a 640 on the math portion of the SAT. This surprised me because I normally get anywhere from 730-780 on practice tests. Now I have a feeling that I put 10 grid-in answers in the wrong spot. I remember that I was confused as to where I put the grid-in questions, so I just put the answers on the previous page. I had 4 math sections and two had grid-ins. </p>
<p>My question is how should I go about remonstrating this? Will the SAT score verification give me credit for my answers even if they might have been in the wrong location? Is there anyway to invalidate such scores? Also, is a -10 equivalent to a 640?</p>
<p>If you had four math sections, then one of those sections was the experimental wild card section (not part of your score). That means one of your two grid-in sections was not graded.</p>
<p>Yes, missing 10 questions and receiving a 640 sounds about right for math. I doubt they will give you credit for putting answers in the wrong spot, even if you got them right. But you can try…no harm trying.</p>
<p>But honestly, I think it’s just tough luck. Sorry :(</p>
<p>If I do decide to order score verification, will I receive a refund if Collegeboard discovers that I placed my answers in the wrong spot? I’m poor and I’d feel extremely guilty if I wasted $50+.</p>
<p>Please help!</p>
<p>Refund for what? I doubt Collegeboard will give you a refund if it was your mistake for putting it in the wrong spot.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t worry about it. Retake it. See how you do. You have a decent overall test score anyway. My ACT reading score was abnormally low, too (26), yet it did not hinder me in college admissions as I thought it might have. Good luck!</p>
<p>Would calling College Board help at all?</p>
<p>I think you should wait until April 3, where all your details will come in…</p>
<p>My score report says that I omitted 10 math questions and got 1 wrong!!! I’m 100 percent certain that I answered all questions. I think I did put my grid-in answers in the wrong spot!
Should I order score verification?! Will CB change my score? I called Customer Service, but I could barely hear the lady (my phone’s malfunctioning). I think she said that CB will change my score even though my grid-in answers are in the wrong spot.</p>
<p>Please help!</p>
<p>Why are you asking us if CB will change your score? We are not CB lol.</p>
<p>Just do the verify-your-score service if that is the case.</p>
<p>Maybe call again, and make sure that they would change your score if you put the answers in the wrong spot, before spending $50? </p>
<p>From college board’s website: </p>
<p>“If we can determine that you made an obvious error in filling in the information on the answer sheet (such as, but not limited to, placing your answers in the wrong section of the answer sheet or improperly recording the test identifying code), your score may change. In this situation, your adjusted score will be automatically reported; however, your score verification fee will not be refunded.”</p>
<p>It does look as though they’ll change your score if you really did put the grid-ins in the wrong place, but call and make sure!</p>
<p>Piquant, stop freaking out.</p>
