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?

if you don't need the credit, don't bother (it costs money, right)

besides, only you can decide if it's worth it for your pride, why ask us?

If you skip one they will still examine it and adjust it for you. I don't think regrading is worth it if you don't need the credit, but if it's for your pride/honor, then go ahead mate
