About 4,000 students who took the SAT last October received test scores that were lower than they should have been some by as much as 100 points because of technical problems in the scoring process, the College Board said yesterday.

She said the number of students affected was relatively limited: eight-tenths of 1 percent of the 495,000 students who took the SAT reasoning test in October.
Most of the students had received lower scores because of the processing problems, Ms. Coletti said, although some may have received higher scores. She said that while some scores were off by as much as 80 or 100 points, most were off by less. . . .
Ms. Coletti said the College Board's policy was to report only the scores that were too low and not to make any changes to those that were too high.

"We ask that you do everything you can to ensure that students are in no way penalized for a matter that was beyond their control," Jim Montoya, a vice president of the College Board, wrote in a letter to deans and admissions directors dated March 6.

Small comfort for those who are the ones that had their scores under reported.</p>
