I'm with Tim on this. I have spoken to about 1/2 dozen people who had a
regrade (I've taken several tries on the test). I had one done as well.
None of them passed because of the re-grade- BUT- all of them had their
score adjusted up. My score changed, (By estimation) up 16 points out of
100- and I believe I only missed by 1 or 2 at that point. Everyone else
reported similar stories of scores changing by large amounts. Nobody's score
ever went down.
A regrade probably won't pass you- but if you are confused by how poorly you
are doing in one section, perhaps you aren't doing that poorly at all.
