Inside Higher Ed: SAT Controversy Continues
For months now, the College Board has been saying that it has new measures in place to prevent a repeat of the embarrassing scoring errors on the October SAT. On Thursday, the board released a much-awaited report, which said — yep — that the board has new measures in place to prevent a repeat of the embarrassing scoring errors on the October SAT.
The board released the report at the insistence of a powerful New York State senator, who had threatened legal action to obtain it, and to whom board officials promised the report months ago. While some critics of the board said it was good that the report was finally out, the emphasis of the study — on steps taken and that potentially could be taken to improve scoring accuracy — bothered many. They said that the report revealed little about how the scoring errors took place or why they took so long to discover and report.
