Multiple-choice hand score verification |
When hand scoring of a multiple-choice score is requested, your entire answer sheet will be manually reviewed—you can't request verification of scores for a single section on the SAT or just one of several SAT Subject Tests taken on the same date. For SAT only: If you order hand score verification, you will no longer see the full online score report, and you won't have access to the Student Answer Service or Question-and-Answer Service for your hand scored answer sheet. |
$55 Fee reduction available |
Essay hand score verification |
This verification determines whether there was an error made in the scanning or processing of the essay scores assigned by essay readers. If an error is found, your adjusted score is automatically reported and your fee is refunded. |
$55 Fee reduction available |
*These are refundable only if your order has not yet been fulfilled or if you missed your test date (for example, if you canceled your test, were absent, or had to take a makeup test). |
