Boston – The College Board disclosed Wednesday that 27,000 SAT college entrance exams missed being rechecked after an initial discovery of scoring problems, with the result that another 375 students were given incorrectly low marks.
The College Board said that last week it asked Pearson Educational Management, which scores the exam, to confirm that all 495,000 October tests had been rescored; that request followed an earlier oversight in which 1,600 exams were overlooked.
Last weekend, Pearson notified the College Board that 27,000 tests from the pool of October exams still had not been reevaluated. They have since been rescored.
The announcement is the latest in a string of disclosures that have infuriated students and sent college admissions offices scrambling. It brings to 4,411 the number of students who received incorrectly low scores.
