I'm waiting anxiously for score verification to come back. I got around 700 consistently on Barron's and got 640 on the real thing. With the schools I'm applying to, I don't stand a chance of getting in with a score that bad. I hope CB messed up the scoring!

Maybe you skipped a bubble by accident, near the end?

oh ___, I hope I didn't ): but I might have. I think if I did that, CB would notice when they hand-score my sheet, so they'll give me what I deserve (because on the website, it said that if an obvious mistake was made in bubbling in, they would change the score accordingly but wouldn't give refunds). I don't care about the $52. I just want my score to be higher (700+).

They're also re-scoring lit, since I took that on the same day as I took Math II.

Wish me luck!

@Nerdlings, by 600s, were you getting high, mid, or low 600s or a bit of everything?

^ViggyRam, I was just looking through the Official Canadian RD Decisions thread. What schools in the US did you get into? Mind sharing your stats?

I took the real test, then the day after took a Barron's test. Got a 510 on the Barron's and was freaking out, but got a 730 on the actual test. Not as amazing as all of you, but I'm pleased

Lowish 600's, like 610-630... maybe it's because I took a practice test everyday the week before the real one after I was done with homework and before bed...

what? I feel so ripped off because I've been getting around 700 consistently on Barron's, but only a 640 on the real thing. OUTRAGEOUS!

They better hand verify my scores soon (sent my verification form out friday, but it's really monday since there's no mail on weekends). SO angry.

I got 630 on diagnostic from Barron's, 590 on test 1 and 630 test 2. Just took an official BB test today and got 720. I think I can improve more and get an 800 this Saturday.

^ I got a 600-610 on the Barrons #1 test

gonna take the BB test and see what happens.

@dwarfwarri: What was your raw score? I ended up ommitting a good number of questions on the Barrons test and only had a raw of 22-23/50?

I'm geting around 720 every time on Barons with the occasional 750. I'm pretty confident for the test, hopefully I can get an 800! I need it!
