“I just love how some students (and parents) are trying to make this out to be a conspiracy that will ruin their child’s HYPSM dreams.”
At least they didn’t cut off the wrong leg…
If my kid was a “victim” of this, and it was his first time taking the SAT, I’d relax and not worry.
If my kid took it as a retake, I’d be more upset, but just wait and see.
What I expect in the longer run is for there to be a class-action lawsuit by parents to get a “free-sitting”.
Note there are always “extra questions” that are not scored, so someone can get those questions wrong and get a perfect score."
No-for many this is not about " HYPSM dream"
For us this is about scholarship money. And time.
Our plan was for child to take SAT ONE TIME! Not multiple times.
Our child did well on ACT taken in middle school, so the intent was to take that test a couple of times.
Our child is a rising senior and has little time left for re-take.
Time is tight and some people either don’t want to take the SAT multiple times or can’t take it multiple times.
Our child is committed to doing 25+ hours of extracurricular activity and also does multiple AP courses.
My child stays up most nights until 3 AM, completing homework after extracurricular activities.

I think any class action lawsuit would focus on getting refund of test fees since test takers had reasonable expectation that this test would have same format as those in the past and an error was made by CB. Even without a lawsuit, test takers can file dispute with their credit card company.
We do not want a re-scheduled free test.
CB should either provide score info on all sections or give refund because that was what test takers thought they would get when they made payment.
