  • The National Center for Fair & Open Testing on Monday issued a statement asking why the College Board has not released the findings of an audit it promised would identify any more changes needed in the wake of SAT scoring errors that have embarrassed the organization and upset many test takers. The center, known as FairTest, noted that College Board officials have said several times -- more than 90 days ago -- that Booz Allen Hamilton was conducting a thorough review that would identify any additional changes needed to prevent scoring snafus within 90 days. FairTest compared the College Board's promises about the report to students trying to get extra time on the SAT (something the College Board would never permit). A spokeswoman for the board said that the report was completed, but that the board could not comment on it because of pending litigation. The spokeswoman added that all reforms promised by College Board officials have been carried out.
