"More than 1,000 high school students in Ohio whose ACT college-entrance exams were invalidated by the tests’ provider will receive their scores after all.
ACT said Friday the tests will be scored and released and “deeply regrets” any inconvenience caused by the situation.
The state Department of Education had urged ACT to reconsider its earlier decision to invalidate incorrect test versions that ACT sent to 21 school districts that did testing 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."

Oct 17 2017. ACT is invalidating two more TN scores. School administration is adamant it was triple checked and correct test ordered for Bearden. ACT sent the Oct 3 booklet they claim. All regular test room scores have been invalidated. We even had a few students with Valid scores sent to colleges and received their paper score. Their grades were retracted and Invalidated also. #ACTblunder2017 #GiveUsOurScores
ACT is having a multitude of mis administration problems and the students are the only ones being effected. Our Seniors deserve their grades. They took a test in good faith with no prior knowledge. The administration at Bearden gave the test in good faith with no prior knwledfe as well. The ACT came to pick up the tests on 10/18 the day after our kids took the test as the ACT schedules pick up for the day after. Since ACT claims they sent the test to be administered on 10/3, why did they not come 10/4 for pick up?
They sent the wrong test earlier this year in TN and Ohio. They upheld those tests after a fight by the Ohio Attorney General. Our seniors who were taking a state test deserve the same.
I too have a thread going about the ACT. See KTRrights. I am going through arbitration as we speak with my daughter. ACT took her last 2 test scores away both were 25’s. Would love to talk to you.
