<p>My son is in the same situation as you. He did use mechanical pencil on the test, but he also used it for subject tests and AP tests before and the computer did not have problems reading them. We are waiting for Nov 4 for the online report then decide what to do next. I believe once you order the hand scoring verification, you will not get your QAS (which is a full report CB mails out 6-8 weeks after the test.) I have read several posters are getting much lower scores then anticipated. I wonder is there some reading problem with CB computer system. There was one year, CB found out their computer had problem after students requested hand re-score and corrected lots of students scores.</p>
