Do you have a widescreen monitor? Do you have two monitors? If your tablet is a 4:3 (they sell widescreen tablets too), and you have a widescreen monitor, your 4:3 tablet surface is being mapped to a 16:9 area (32:9 if you have dual widescreens), so the circle you draw on the tablet will come out like an oval on the monitor. There are options to map only a portion of the tablet surface, or to constrain it to only one monitor, which helps a little bit.

The good news is that if you just practice a lot with the tablet, whenever you pick up a real pencil and try to sketch something, you will feel like it is the most accurate precision instrument you have ever held. My real-world drawings improved ten fold after my first year of lopsided circles on dual widescreens.
