SAT 2015: Evaluation continues despite the printing error

 Students who appeared for the SAT test on June 6 in the United States went berserk as they found a mistake in the instructions of their paper. Chaos ensued in the classrooms about just how much time the students had to complete at least one section.
Despite the mayhem, scoring for the SAT will continue despite the error in the instructions of the test booklet. An announcement from the College Board states that the Educational Testing Service had decided to not score the sections in question. This decision has invoked mixed reactions from students where a few think of the practise as unfair, while others are glad that the paper did not get cancelled.
The presence of an unscored section has not deterred the evaluation process since the SAT is well equipped to accommodate a wide range of incidents that could impact a testing experience.
