Printing glitch zeroes out a section of SAT

There was a printing error in the  test books Educational Testing Service provided to U.S. students taking the SAT on Saturday, June 6. In an update on Monday, June 8, at 5:30 p.m. EDT, the College Board and ETS said the affected sections will not be scored. They said they will still be able to provide reliable scores, within the usual timeframe, for all students who took the test. This kind of error is really unacceptable. The confusion during the test no doubt had a negative impact on some students' performance. Eliminating a Math or Critical Reading section is also a big deal. What if a student found a reading passage, or math section, easier than the one being dropped?
