How effective is SAT score verification?

<p>I recently received my SAT score and was appalled by my low math score. I got a 610 in math, 760 in reading, and 780 in writing. Normally, my best section is math. I compared my math answers with those of my friends after the test, and was sure I'd only gotten 1 wrong. On the contrary, I'd gotten 10-12 wrong! Math has always been my best subject and I plan on majoring in a math-related field. I took the PSAT in October and got a 770 in math. I also took Math IIC in January and got a perfect score (800). I'm also taking the AP Calculus BC test in May and have been getting 5s on practice tests.</p>

<p>I'm thinking about getting my score verified. Does anyone know if SAT score verification is effective? I don't want to waste $55.</p>

<p>My friends are telling me that I shouldn’t get my score verified. They say that the College Board won’t even bother scoring my MC again and will send me a letter saying that they hadn’t made any mistakes. Even if the College Board had made a mistake, they won’t admit it because admitting it would damage their reputation.</p>

<p>What should I do? I definitely did NOT get 10-12 math problems wrong, but my parents say that I was probably just careless.</p>
