Is it possible to have the SAT rescored?

My SAT score was about 200 points below what I expected. Specifically, I studied the math section for months and consistently score 750s on practice tests. On the actual test, I scored 610. Is is possible to have the test hand graded? :\

You're kidding, right. If Collegeboard had a program by which they would hand-grade every test requested by a taker who "didn't get what I thought I'd get based on my practice tests", they would be re-grading probably 75% of all tests.

Buck up and take the test again.

Gees, ok. I already signed up for December. I was just curious, considering the ACT has a hand score option.

collegeboard will rescore your test if the score is significantly low. For example, a drop from 700 to a 300.

You should probably just retake the test. Sorry...

You CAN request your test to be hand-scores. RSBuletx has no idea what he's talking about.
