CB Recheck Plicy

mellowjello · October 23, 2004, 3:36am

My girlfriend, who has been straight A student all her life, got a 1260(650M,610V) on the Oct SAT I. She does not want to repeat the test again, and swears that she could not have made more than 4 or 5 mistakes on the Math Section.

I know that CB has Score Cancellation, but is there any way that she can have her answer sheet rechecked, preferably by hand.

If anybody out there has any idea on the matter, plz respond. She is in the worst condition of her life. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx

i think you can pay them to recheck it.

however, my guess is that less than 1/50 people who do that actually get a different score back.

the SAT is unpredictable. i didn't think i got any wrong on the math section, i got a 710. she probably made a bunch of careless errors that she's not aware of.

i recommend retaking it, because she'll probably do better.

i thought i only got 4 wrong and got a 700 and i was usually getting 800 on the math on practice tests. so yea i agree the SAT is unpredictable. she should retake it instead.

It would probably only take 5-7 mistakes on math to get a 650. Like davidn08 said, many people think they do much better on math than they actually did (me included :( ) I would say she should retake it too. There's a girl at my school who was sort of in the same position and the first time she got a 1370, second time a 1450, and the third time a 1530. So, my point is, it can't hurt for her to try it again and she has a good chance of improvement.
