<p>well i took an exam yesterday, scantron as always.</p>

<p>I messed up and skipped a problem which led to me marking the incorrect bubble on every single problem thereafter, not finding out till i got to the last one and found out that i missed a problem somewhere.</p>

<p>I corrected the problem and erased the a majority of the scantron which left some pretty nasty marks.</p>

<p>I should have asked for a new scantron....anyway it was scored and i got a 84%, though i was certain that i got everything right...could it be that I actually didn't know what i was doing on the test, or maybe the scantron misread my actual choices because of the bad bad marks?
its Saturday right now, i will talk to professor on monday.</p>

<p>anyone have any experience with this?</p>

<p>Does your grade depend on this test? An 84 isn’t a bad grade, and unless it was absolutely going to negatively affect your grade, I wouldn’t mess with it.</p>

<p>No. I make sure I do it correctly. I always second guess myself and think I did something wrong therefore I always look over what I do. </p>

<p>Also huge classes do not equal scantrons. </p>

<p>I had an Econ class last year of 200 people and it was all essay and by no means multiple choice based. </p>

<p>So therefore your title is misleading.</p>

<p>I’ve certainly heard of Scantrons being mis-marked due to poor erasing. But whether your test will be hand-scored or not depends entirely on your professor. Just don’t sound too desperate when you present your case.</p>
