SAT Subject test failure

Historically, I’ve seen lots of “no way this score is correct, I’m getting it rescored”, not any “the score was changed” until this year’s AP tests (1 instance) which were subjectively-scored essays.

Optical scanners are quite accurate unless your student used a very strange writing instrument or was very poor at staying inside the lines.

That said, I’m sure it’s happened at some point and piece of mind may be worth the investment.

Data point - one section of my PSAT score dropped drastically Soph to Junior year. I realized after the test that for the old “A is bigger, B is bigger, C they’re the same, D not enough data is available” that I reversed C and D. I’ve also heard of students who offset answers by 1 line. Unfortunately, those can’t be adjusted, AFAIK.
