PRINCETON, N.J. – Long Island student Jennie Whalen thinks that the thousands of students who took the SAT college aptitude test June 6 should get a refund and a chance to take it over.

This year’s test erroneously stated students had 25 minutes to complete Section 8 or 9, when it was actually 20 minutes. Some testing centers caught the mistake, others didn’t. The College Board, the nonprofit group that owns the SAT, announced it threw out the two sections when grading this year’s exams, and assured students the scores are reliable, but Whalen and others aren’t buying it, NJ.com reports.

Whalen filed a class action lawsuit against the College Board and the Educational Testing Service – the firm that administers the test on the Board’s behalf – alleging the error amounted to a negligent breach of contract that’s unfair to students striving for top scores.

Similar lawsuits are also pending in Florida and New York.

Attorneys for Whalen and others affected argue in the lawsuit that this year’s “SAT scores are not equivalent to scores of SATs administered before the June 6^th test and not equivalent to SATs administered thereafter,” the news site reports.

Meanwhile, Zach Goldberg, spokesman for the College Board, told NJ.com the Board is “confident in the reliability of scores from the June 6 administration of the SAT.”

Goldberg acknowledged the New Jersey lawsuit, but said the Board “will not be commenting further on potential or pending litigation.”

Other students who fell victim to the SAT error have launched a Change.org petition in hopes of creating a movement to pressure the College Board into offering free retests, the Poughkeepsie Journal reports.

The error impacted the math and critical reading sections of the SAT for about 487,000 students across the U.S. Two Spackenkill High School juniors who took the June 6 SAT told the news site they launched the online petition because college admissions are “so competitive” that a 10-point difference in their scores “can make such a huge difference,” student Courtney Knoll said.

Her classmate, Sarah Choudhury also pointed out that “a lot of people do better at sections at the end” of the SAT – which means the error likely dragged down some students’ scores.

“I think our petition is getting pretty big, to the point where the College Board can’t ignore it,” Noll said. “If we don’t give up and keep pushing, I think the College Board will have to respond.”

The Board has offered to refund the cost of a retake for students during the next scheduled SAT in October, but Knoll and Choudhury – and their roughly 1,200 supporters on Change.org – believe the Board should offer an optional retake this summer.

According to the Journal, “the fall test date is the last SAT offered ‘before college applications…and a lot of people were using that date to take’ SAT Subject Tests, Noll said.”

The girls’ concerns are echoed by the Massachusetts-based FairTest, a nonprofit critical of the SAT. FairTest is lobbying for student refunds for the June 6 exam, and independent review of how scores were calculated for the test, and a free summer makeup exam for those affected.

“Test-takers, family members, educators and attorneys who contacted us do not trust that reported SAT scores will accurately represent student performance,” FairTest spokesman Bob Schaeffer told NJ.com.
