ACT Decides To Validate Test Scores In Ohio

act.org

More than 1 thousand Ohio high school students whose ACT college-entrance exams were invalidated by the tests' provider will receive their scores after all. ACT says the tests will be scored and released and "deeply regrets" any inconvenience caused by the situation. The Ohio Department of Education had urged ACT to reconsider its earlier decision to invalidate incorrect test versions sent to 21 school districts for testing conducted April 19. ACT refused to score those versions, saying students could retake the test free in later national testing.  Some students would have missed college application deadlines because the next national testing dates aren't until fall.
