I'm Steve Ember with the Education Report.About five hundred thousand students took the SAT college-admissions test last October.The College Board,Uggs Bailey Button Triplet, which owns the test,Moncler Down, says about 5 thousand of them received wrong scores.The dilemma became known right after two students questioned their scores.They asked to have their tests scored again,Timberlans Chukka Mens Boots, this time by hand as opposed to by laptop.
Further investigation led to a lot more and more wrongly scored tests.Most of the scores were too low.College Board spokesman Brian O'Reilly says only 4 students gained 3 hundred points or alot more.He says most gained ninety points or much less.A best SAT score is two thousand four hundred points.The College Board is not telling students or colleges about scores that were too high.Mister O'Reilly says students must not be punished for something out of their control.He says the scores had been no additional than fifty points too high.He tells us correcting them would not have affected college acceptance decisions.The tests went to a processing center in Texas.Pearson Educational Measurement has scored the SAT for the College Board due to the fact March of last year.The provider took the place of E.T.S.,Timberland Boots, the Educational Testing Service.
The College Board says humidity in the air triggered the paper to expand and alter the position of the answers.It says the situation affected tests with light or incomplete answer marks.Mister O'Reilly says Pearson has already corrected the challenge.He says the business has improved its laptop systems and will now scan all answers two times.The College Board has asked schools to reconsider any students they rejected ahead of their SAT scores had been increased.Higher education officials say acceptance decisions are based only partly on test scores.But greater scores can mean alot more monetary aid.Now,Ugg Classic Tall Boots, lawyers are reportedly trying to represent individuals who want to take the College Board to court.Students aren't the only ones who've been affected by testing errors recently.E.T.S. has just agreed to pay eleven million dollars to settle circumstances involving a test for teachers.Thousands who took the Praxis in two thousand three and two thousand 4 received scores that had been too low.More than 4 thousand of them were told they had failed when they had passed. was written by Nancy Steinbach.Read and listen to our reports at .I'm Steve Ember.
