College Board Finds 1,600 More SAT Scores Not Yet Rechecked
The College Board disclosed Tuesday that an additional 1,600 SAT scores have not been rechecked from an exam in October that had scoring problems.
The previously overlooked batch of answer sheets came from among those being scored separately for a variety of reasons, including security concerns. Some of those scores were on hold and had not been reported, but others may have been reported incorrectly, according to an E-mail sent to college admissions officers and guidance counselors early Tuesday. The statement also was posted on the College Board’s Web site.
College Board spokeswoman Chiara Coletti says she became aware of the latest problem late Monday. The sheets will be rescanned over the next few days and colleges and students notified of any changes as soon as possible.
She says she expects that some, though perhaps a small number, of scores would be affected.
“To the best of my knowledge, there are no more surprises,” she says.
The College Board, which owns the SAT college entrance exam, disclosed last week that scoring errors had been discovered on 4,000 out of 495,000 tests taken during the October sitting. All 495,000 tests, plus answer sheets from three other sittings, were rescanned.
