<p>1,600 SAT Tests Escaped Check for Scoring Errors</p>
<p>By Karen W. Arenson</p>
<p>The College Board disclosed a new problem yesterday in its efforts to assess and correct mistakes in the scoring of its October SAT test: an overlooked batch of 1,600 exams that have not been checked for errors.</p>
<p>The admission that there were still unchecked tests came a week after the board began notifying colleges that it was raising the SAT scores of 4,000 students whose tests had been graded incorrectly because of processing problems at a Texas scanning facility. </p>
<p>The revelation meant that colleges were likely to face a second scramble to reassess additional applicants just as the admissions season was drawing to a close.</p>
