Writing section Scoring and rescoring (January)

I really need help on how my writing section was scored and maybe someone can help me out with this.

I got, according to my score report, a 710 in writing, with a 10 on the essay and a 45/49 raw score on the multiple choice and missed four, giving me a 44/49 raw score.

According to https://satonlinecourse.collegeboard.com/pdfs/scoring.pdf , I should have a 770, but it doesn’t add up.

It says I got a scaled score of 69, but according to the conversion table on the link above, then that means I got a 39 raw score…

I’m wondering if I should call and ask about this.

Also, I’m wondering if I should rescore my essay, for I believe I wrote a good essay. Can anybody tell me the scoring policy on this, if a lower score, will they lower your score and how often do they actually change the grade, etc.

This has been weighing on my mind for a while, so any help is greatly appreciated.
