The College Board has not added a foreign language since the program started in 1955 with French, Spanish, German and Latin.

The institutions the students designated to get score reports have received notice, as well as their high schools.

There's a lot of research that shows the exact opposite of what they are saying.

Of those, only 55 students of the 4,000 had score differences large enough to affect an admission decision.

As soon as we realized what the extent of the problem was we reached out to schools and to the students affected.

We're very concerned about the effects this will have on students and making sure with admissions officers that students aren't penalized.

This was a confluence of very technical factors that we're still in the process of investigating.
