Last week, the agency that
administers the S-A-Ts, announced it
found scoring errors on four-thousand
of the nearly half-a-million tests
taken in October -- causing a score
difference by as much as 390-points.
The College Board re-scanned the
tests, but did NOT punish students who
benefitted from the mistake.
But, for most schools like
Roanoke College, which had
13-applicants with flawed scores, it
never really mattered.

OQ= Most of the schools say they're
just glad the board notified them of
the mistakes when it did, especially
since this is the time most colleges
post deadlines for applications.
The problem isn't over, though.
On Tuesday, the College Board
announced another 16-hundred tests that
were under review for reasons unrelated
to the error still have to be
re-scanned.
The board hopes to publish those
scores by next week.
