<p>While wondering whether my October SAT’s scores were accurate,
I was considering to ask for Hand Scoring by the College Board. (Good Bye $50~)</p>
<p>Anyway, I have some questions ^^;</p>
<li><p>What happens if the score after ‘hand scoring’ is lower than your previous score?!</p></li>
<li><p>Did anyone in CC actually found Hand scoring effective? (How much did your scores improve?)</p></li>
</ol>
<p>i am wondering the same question. i am seriously considering this option because of my writing score!.</p>
<p>Someone I know did significantly worse on one section on his/her second time taking the test and said he/she skipped a question and bubbled the wrong answers for the 6 that followed, then had to go back and erase and fill in the correct ones. I did a little back-of-the-evelope kind of calculation and it would make sense that he got around the same score as last time, except for it marking all 6 of those questions wrong.</p>
<p>I told him to try the hand-grading out. So we'll see what happens, I guess. I also mentioned I'm stubborn and would do it just to prove I'm right, lol.</p>
<p>Is there a deadline for getting hand rescores?</p>
<p>instead of hand scoring...i ordered a scored service so i can see what the hell i missed..</p>
<p>i still can't get over as to why i got so many wrong on MC writing test...</p>
<p>i'm hoping that upon receiving my copy, i'll be able to know exactly what went wrong with my writing test..</p>
<p>same thing with math. went down 40 feckin points. dont believe it.
gaia87, whats this scored service? Is that the ordering of a copy of the test you took and copy of your answer sheet? I'll be able to see if there was a mistake when I see the online score report, b/c I remember which ones I answered and omitted. Im convinced there was a mistake!!!</p>
<p>umm it didnt help me...it stayed the same....</p>
<p>ETS doesn't really do much to tell you the truth. Even if your answer is correct, if they don't think your bubble was dark enough or pretty enough...they still count it wrong.</p>
<p>Hmm well like someone said I think you can still order the Q and A service. Since this is cheaper than the handscoring maybe ordering that first and looking at what you got wrong would help you see if handscoring is worth it. The Q and A service just tells you the question, your answer, the right answer. You can order it in your My SAT scores or whatever it is online. They have a link under your results. </p>
<p>However I don't know what they do with handscoring. For example, if you messed up the order you put your answers in by skipping one and then putting the next answer in that space, I don't know what would happen with the handscoring. Like if they'd notice that and give you the points back. It seems like that would be the most common thing to bring a score down a lot, rather than the answer not being dark enough or something messing the answer sheet up.</p>
<p>Today I put section 6's answers in section 7's slot but luckily realized in time and fixed everything (but lost time on the math section...), hopefully to the best of my ability, and erased hella hard...but if the score is lower I might consider HS.</p>
<p>yes i think i'll also ask them to rescore mine...i did so poorly on my writing section...</p>
<p>ahh i went down 50 points in math...how the *** did that happen...though it was probably stupid mistakes so probably not worth it to hand score</p>
