To Hand Score or Not to Hand Score?

<p>What are the pros/cons of hand score verification?</p>

<p>I don't really care about the price since spending the $50 may have a big affect on where I spend over $160,000...</p>

<p>I took the October 14 SAT and got a 610 on critical reading, 710 on math and 700 on writing. I expected to do much better on the reading than on the other 2 sections. I also erased a lot of answers on one of the critical reading sections since I misbubbled. Maybe I didn't "fully erase"..would this affect my score? If I got it hand scored would it affect my score? What should I do?????</p>

<p>If you don't care about price (which is a funny statement since i'm guessing parents pay, though i could be wrong and you could own me with a sad story), then what's the big deal? Do you think your score was too low?</p>

<p>Question: if you hand score and the Collegboard admits a mistake, do those bourgeois @#$%^& still charge you?</p>

<p>calm down, soviet.</p>

<p>lol</p>

<p>My parents are making me pay, but I don't care cuz its for my future. And if there was a mistake, I don't have to pay.</p>

<p>The big deal is that my score could end up lower. Also, I'm not sure if they will change the score if the error was because of my failure to erase fully.
This is what it syas on their site:</p>

<p>The following guidelines are published in our test and practice materials and are given to all test-takers:
Use a No. 2 pencil and a soft eraser. Do not use a pen or mechanical pencil.
Make sure you fill in the entire circle darkly and completely.
If you change your response, erase as completely as possible.</p>

<p>IMPORTANT: If your marks did not follow the published guidelines your scores will not change, and your fee will not be refunded.</p>

<p>Does this change things? Is it my fault my eraser couldn't erase well enough? Could my score have even been effected by my erasing? Help!!</p>

<p>Haha calm down. If you want to do hand scoring, then just go ahead with it.</p>

<p>AAAAffected.</p>
