Dive Brief:

• College Board, the company behind the SAT exam, has announced that it won't score two sections of tests given June 6 due to a misprint in the exam booklet. The company is also allowing students affected to retake the exam for free if they wish. 
• Test takers were supposed to have 25 minutes for a reading section, but a misprint in the proctor booklet stated only 20 minutes were to be allowed, shaving off minutes of precious time. 
• While College Board says the scores will still be valid without these sections, not all students are pleased. According to NBC News, many have signed a Change.org petition, and others in New York filed a federal lawsuit that is currently seeking class action status. 

Dive Insight:

The high-stakes pressure of the SAT is what ultimately makes this all the more nerve-racking, as some students and their families are likely wondering if the misprinting issue will prevent them from getting into their dream college. Ultimately, however, College Board says the exam can provide a "valid and reliable" score even without the sections in question. And, as mentioned above, it has offered free retakes to those affected. These details may make the petition and lawsuit moot.
