College Confidential - View Single Post - Rescoring English Lit- worth it?

I got my scores back today and it said that had scored a 3 in Eng Lit. I find that almost impossible to believe, as last year I scored a 4 on Lang and I have dramatically improved. English is my best subject, and I usually scored about 95% on old tests when we took them in class, as well as solid 8's on my essays (and my teacher is an AP grader every year).

I felt fantastic about the test, so I feel almost sure that there was a mistake in the grading. However, my school has exempt me from taking all core classes based on the program I'm in, so I don't really need the credit. Does anyone else think it's worth it to rescore, if for nothing else than my pride?

And I'd also like to know-- when they hand check the multiple choice, do they take into account if you obviously skipped one and ended up messing up the numbers on your test?
