With our student answer verification services, you'll get:

• The difficulty of each question answered correctly, incorrectly, or omitted


• The type of test questions

You can order student answer verification services when you register for the SAT or up to five months after your test date. Depending on when and where you take the SAT, you can order either the Question-and-Answer Service (QAS) or the Student Answer Service (SAS). For students with a College Board account, these services will be available online with your score report.
If you're eligible for an SAT fee waiver, you can get the QAS or SAS for free.

The Question-and-Answer Service includes:

• A copy of the SAT questions and a report showing your answers from the specific test administration


• The correct answers and additional scoring instructions


• Information about the type and difficulty of test questions

If you are testing in October or March with school-based accommodations and wish to receive the QAS, call the SSD office at least two weeks in advance of test day to see if arrangements can be made.

The Question-and-Answer Service is not available for makeup test administrations, alternate date testing, or U.S. military personnel testing under the Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES) program.

Order Student Answer Service if Question-and-Answer Service is unavailable.

How to Order You can order QAS during test registration or until five months after your test date. If you don't order QAS with your registration, there are three ways you can order:

• Order online by signing into your College Board account and selecting Order Now within My Score Reports.


• Call Customer Service at 866-756-7346 (U.S. and Canada) and 212-713-7789 (International).

Fees and Refunds The Question-and-Answer Service fee is not refundable once the service has been fulfilled. You can request a refund if you are absent on test day.

Score verification may assure you that your test has been scored accurately. Your options include multiple-choice hand score verification, essay score verification, or both.
Consider score verification if:

• Your score is very different from what you expected. You may have made an obvious mistake in marking your answers.


• Your essay is blank or completely illegible when you view it in your online score report. You may have written your essay in ink (which does not scan properly).

You might not want score verification if:

• You see your correct essay online and it is readable. Essay score verification does not include rereading the essay or an appeal of your essay score.


• You did not use a No. 2 pencil or you did not mark your multiple-choice answers according to our guidelines. We will not re score your answer sheet, and your score will not change. Examples of not following the guidelines: using slashes, not completely or darkly filling in the answer circles, or not marking the circles for your student-produced responses in the math section.

• You can request a multiple-choice hand score verification or essay score verification, or both, up to five months after test day by printing and completing a request for SAT score verification form (.pdf/568KB). Please read the information on the form carefully before deciding to request this service.

Fees and Refunds

• There is a score verification fee required to cover the costs associated with verifying your scores. If you used a fee waiver to pay SAT registration fees, the score verification fee will be reduced. The reduced fee is available upon request and is provided on the Request for SAT Score Verification form.


• We will refund your full score verification fee only if the change in scores was due to an irregularity in the scanning or scoring process.

Your Results We will mail a letter confirming the results of your multiple-choice hand score verification or essay score verification within five weeks after your signed request and payment are received.

• If you choose to have your essay score verified, the College Board will determine whether there was an error in the scanning or processing of the essay scores assigned by essay readers. In this situation, your adjusted score is automatically reported and your fee is refunded. The score verification fee will not be refunded for essays written in pen.
