Pencil lead 'leaked' through pages, rescore?

<p>Okay, I this also happened when I took the SAT subject tests, but my pencil lead (it was #2 and soft ticonderola (sp? lol) ) from bubbled in sections leaked, transferring onto other answer sheet pages when I bubbled in circles on the back of a page. like if u bubble something in too hard it transfers, etc. So yea. I was wondering if it could have affected my scoring? (I didn't erase the tranferred bubbles for some odd reason I can't recall, but that was only for the SAT reasoning not subject tests)</p>

<p>Also, if I got a hand rescore, what would occur. Would it be my fault or theirs (since I did follow the pencil type rule, but maybe the structure/design of the test is also a problem...?)</p>

<p>Thank you for your help!</p>

<p>if you took it in may, you can check your collegeboard account to see if they canceled your score. im not sure if they updated it for june or if that applies to SAT I. but check it just for speculation</p>

<p>The same thing happened to me on the June 2009 SAT I; I spot-checked the answer booklet and none of the transferred graphite was in critical places (i.e. where it could be construed as a bubbled-in answer), so I didn’t bother erasing or notifying the proctor. I think it should be fine, but I’ll find out for sure on June 25th.</p>

<p>the problem is, the marks were sort of on the mc bubbles (overlapping 2 answers, etc). but the marks weren’t that dark compared to my actual bubbled in answers. could this affect my score? how sensitive is the machine…? o.0</p>

<p>actually, this was for the May 2009 test. I have gotten my scores, and I’m appalled at my critical reading score (610, which 14 wrong??! o.0 i cant remember the actual number). I checked my answers on this site, and for the most part they were right except for a few vocabs… i dunno, maybe im just thinking too much and confused my answers. However, on practice tests I’ve never gotten that many wrong, only like max 3 per section. iono. ill probably retake it. I’m also waiting for my free QAS to arrive. Hopefully that’ll clear up some of my questions.</p>
