was just wondering if anyone knew of how to go about getting your test rescored? and if anyone has with a different outcome. i failed my test by 1 point in the 3 digit scale and was wondering if it was possible as i heard some people have done it before

thanks

Sorry to hear. Remote possibility. Most likely they want your money again. Yes $700 down the drain. If that's the case they will be sued for failing you by mistake. Go take it again!

I wouldn't recommend it... It is $55 and a complete flush down the toilet.
I called ECFMG and asked them about the rescore and the guy there told me it is a very remote possibility ---the form you sign on when you pay even says that!
I asked the guy if it has ever happened... He told me about 90-95% of people who fail by one point send it in for a rescore. He has been there 2 years and has only seen a score change ONCE! HE didn't tell me if the score went up or down, but he said it is VERY UNLIKELY to change.
