アメリカ SATで採点ミス!?

アメリカのSAT
(日本でいうところの「大学センター試験」にあたるもの)で機械の不具合により約4000名分の採点にミスがあったようです。

答案の読み取り(マークシートの読み取り機みたいなものでしょうかね)で不具合だそうです。
採点途中に不具合に気が付いたのではなく、すでに採点を終えた後に、受験生からの問い合わせで発覚したそうです。(どこかの記事でよみました。確実な情報ではなくスイマセン)

すでに大学側には不具合の状態で採点された結果が通知されていますから、
大学としても処理を進めていたことと思われます。

October 2005 SAT: Important Information

The College Board recently discovered that a technical processing matter affected a very small percentage of October 2005 SAT test takers. As a result, approximately 4,000 students (0.8% of the SAT Reasoning Test takers who tested during that administration) did not receive credit for some correct answers; therefore, their scores are higher than originally reported.

Students who were affected have been notified by email.

Please note:

* If you were affected, you have received an email notification and you will receive a revised official score report in the mail.
* Students who have been notified can access their revised scores at www.collegeboard.com/satscores.
* We are only contacting students with revised scores.
* High schools and colleges that were affected have been notified.
* The score difference for the vast majority of students was less than 100 points across all three sections of the test.
* We are refunding those students' test registration fees as well as any other fees associated with sending scores from the October test administration.

Our research has determined that this scoring anomaly was a one time problem, and only involved the October 2005 SAT Reasoning Test.

お・・・英語わからん。
