<p>I walked out of the room that day pretty sure I aced it. Especially after having discussed answers online with some of you, I was pretty sure I did well, getting at most 4 wrong. </p>
<p>However, I only got a 650. How can that be?? A 650 is equivalent to a 30/50 raw score, meaning I basically failed the test. Impossible. </p>
<p>The only conclusion I have is that either I have very bad judgment (and I can't understand this since I CHECKED my answers on the math II forum here) or that they've scored it incorrectly. Yet, they use a scan tron machine..so what're the chances the machine could have scored it incorrectly? Because the fee is US$50 to handscore.</p>
<p>seriously! I got a 630 and I was sure that I got at least 750+. There could be a problem with the scoring (at least that is what we all hope). but i don't want to pay $50...what else can be done?</p>
<p>Yes but the issue here is: What if we pay the $50 and they just run it through the machine again and make the same mistakes??</p>
<p>There's no guarantee. And there's no incentive for them to employ manual labor to check our scores - it's not like they're jumping to prove their own system wrong and refund the $50..</p>
<p>Oh what the heck. I spoke with my dad, and he says I should just go ahead and ask for a hand score. He says even though we may lose $50, it's an SAT II score so it's worth a shot. I'm going to send for handscoring..does anyone know how I can apply for this? The collegeboard website doesn't say how you can submit a request to do so..it only says you can.</p>
<p>yes i think i will send my in for hand scoring also but i wonder how long it will take bc if the score is correct, i have to sign up for dec sat ii</p>
<p>Same thing happened to my friend. He had a 2390 on SATs. He got a 690 on this when he told me he for sure had an 800. I think there may have been mistakes.</p>
<p>Gyros 321, did that happen to your friend for the october SAT?<br>
Arwen1, how long did it take u to get ur score after hand scoring? How did you ask for hand scoring? Thanks!</p>
<p>I read on the collegeboard website that you get back corrections within 3-5 weeks of resending for handscoring. The trouble is, it doesn't tell you HOW you can send it for rescoring. =/ Also, I know it's possible to buy back your own paper but again, the website doesn't inform us how.</p>
<p>Okay guys, here's the information I've found:</p>
<p>Cost: US$50
Number to call: (212) 713-7789
"You can also contact SAT Program Customer Service by telephone Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. (Eastern Time). Summer hours for SAT Program Customer Service (after the June administration through August) are Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. (Eastern Time)."</p>
<p>yea, a little different though. took biology M sat on oct 14, but i think i forgot to bubble in "M", although i did do the M questions 81-100. They gave me a considerably lower score for bio E-670, when i thought i aced the test. bcuz 670 is basically 55/80...whichi ilike failing...no way...so i think imma get mine handgraded.</p>
<p>i came out not really sure how i did...i was pretty sure i had above a 750. I ended up getting an 800. maybe the cruve was just really harsh. i dont know how many i got wrong yet. left one blank.</p>
