<p>Can I do this online or do I have mail a registration sheet?
Is this hand-scoring service including essay regrading???</p>
<p>I think you get a form when you receive your score report in the mail.</p>
<p>i called yesterday to order the hand scoring service...these are the guidelines:</p>
<p>you have to call them, give them your credit card, it's 30 bucks, they will regrade the test, the essay will NOT be graded again (meaning your essay score will stay the same), the test itself may go UP or DOWN, the test may stay the same, even if there is a question where your answer was right but the computer messed up, the grader decides whether to give you the point (this didn't really make sense to me when the person on the phone told me about it), and it takes 3/5 weeks to get the hand scoring done.</p>
<p>most likely the score won't go down unless you were lucky and the computer just graded it right. the score will probably stay the same and might go up.</p>
<p>"the test may stay the same, even if there is a question where your answer was right but the computer messed up"
That definitely doesn't make any sense</p>
<p>"even if there is a question where your answer was right but the computer messed up, the grader decides whether to give you the point"</p>
<p>That defeats the purpose of the service. I don't understand the CB sometimes.</p>
<p>No, the person who I spoke to said that the service does include the essay and the essay does get regraded. This process is way too subjective if that is not the case.</p>
<p>once again i answered this on the other post, the essay WILL NOT be regraded, i was guarenteed by the representative on the phone that the essay WILL NOT be regraded...</p>
<p>The way to get the best answer is to call back 5 times in a row and ask different representatives when you talk to them.</p>
<p>xindianx, the essay will not be regraded as part of the hand scoring service. They do offer an essay score verification service that is SEPARATE. That is why they were able to guarantee that they wouldn't change your essay score with the hand scoring service. It only looks at the multiple choice answers!</p>
