The SATs no doubt are on the most stressful points in time for any high school student. Your future may very well depend on the results of this exam!
So how would you feel after you go through and survive that process, about going through it all again?
That’s the reality for 55 students at an El Paso high school, who might be forced to retake the exam after their tests flew out of the UPS truck that was transporting them!
The El Paso Independent School District tells CNN that it is currently working with the College Board to “determine a remedy” for the students whose tests were lost.
The company said in a statement, “Our employees are working to recover as many tests as possible, and we will work with the school to resolve the situation. The driver’s actions in this case are not representative of UPS protocols and methods, and we are addressing this with him.
“Safely meeting our service commitments is UPS’s first priority.”
Ezra Ponzio, a senior at El Paso High School, told KFOX he was unable to apply for Texas A&M University early, as he had intended, because his exam was one of the 55 lost.
“UPS, just try your best to make it right with us,” he said.
“I was mostly looking at A&M, so the early deadline is already shot. Hopefully, the SAT score can come in time for the actual deadline in January, but here’s hoping.”
