Your response seems to be a fairly common one to the Astro test. Be of good heart, you may have done much better than you initially thought when you left the testing center. Several of us thought the worst when we finished that one only to be pleasantly surprised. I hope you did well!!

I've hear the "I don't know if I passed on Astronomy" sentence before. I thought you got your score on DSSTs when you finished. If I'm not wrong why is it this way?

You do get the scores if you take the computer exam. Must have been a paper and pencil exam.

I started my Astronomy score wait a month ago and got my score last week. It was a hard test and also difficult to tell how you really did on it. I hope it works out for you, too. In the mean time, it is hard to do but it does help to start studying for something else and get your mind off of the Astronomy results.
