Could they have graded wrong? If so, how can we get it regraded?

The CB website says that if you order score verification, and if your score turns out to be different from the score first reported to you, the score verification fee will be refunded, and the new score will prevail.

But if I were you, I would wait for the score report which will come out several days later. You can see for yourself how many questions you got wrong on the Math sections.

I personally believe that because they threw away one Math section, a Math score of 800 and a 680 might have a smaller difference. The Math curve, even when 3 sections are scored, is notoriously harsh (1 wrong and you lose 40 points; 2 wrong and you lose 60 points). Now that only 2 sections are scored, perhaps 3 or 4 wrong cuts you down from 800 to 680.

So wait for the report. If you get 3 or 4 wrong, then a 680 is normal. But if the number of wrong answers turns out to be much bigger than you think, then ask them for score verification. Don’t fret about the 50-dollar fee. It’s worth the risk if you can get back your true Math score.
