Alright, I just saw my essay score: 12. No idea how that happened. My handwriting was totally illegible, and I didn't have any time to proofread, because I finished the last word just as time was called.
But MC 70. I've never scored that low and the discussions here gave me the impression, I had a full score. I'd so like to know what I did wrong for the Dec SAT.

Still floored by my writing score. MC: 63, I have no idea how it's possible, given I've repeatedly aced my writing scores in the past. I almost want to ask for score verification...

So bizarre.

Edit: Funny how nobody in this thread seems pleased with their scores.

We're not gonna hear anything from him, I guess.
@bnjmnkrs
My scores make me raise some doubts too. I ordered the student response service (you know, the one where they give you the test as well) for the May test. I had answered _/_/9/0 on one of the grid-ins, but the system had recognized 9/_/9/0. Hence, wrong answer. Though I'm sure that I couldn't see any erase marks on the answer sheet. Weird stuff. But now it's on to the next one. There's not much I can do for practice. I ace all practice tests. I don't get why I failed this one.

@Duffman, can you not ask ETS to check it out manually in a case like that?

Yup, it will be a good day for students everywhere when the SAT goes digital. Anyway, there's no point in letting stuff like this bother you, que sera sera.

To check essay score go here:
SAT - College Board - The Most Widely Used College Admission Exam
then select scores and then 10/6/12: Available
Yes, you can ask ETS to check the test manually, but it costs another 50USD. (I don't get how CB can be "non-profit" ). Hence, I'd rather make another test...

^So if I see an answer that is marked wrong that doesn't make sense when I get the report on the 30th, I can order a check and my score should go up?

Actually, if your test was scored incorrectly and they check it and find an error, you don't pay anything. Only if they made no mistake do you have to pay.

Maxyend, you won't see which answer is marked wrong on the 30th. You'll see how many Qs you answered correctly, incorrectly and how many you omitted. If you see for example that they've recorded 2 omitted answers and you're sure that you didn't omit anything, you could order verification and your score will go up. But you won't see if you marked question 14 from section 3 correctly or incorrecrly.


bnjmnkrs, I read that too. But if they say that they've been right, and I'd have to take their word for that, I would've wasted another 50 bucks. So I won't do it, since I'll get my chance again in December anyway.
