About 4,000 college-bound high school students ââ?¬â? not to mention parents, counselors and college admissions officials ââ?¬â? are struggling to recover from the news this week that their SAT scores were miscalculated. ââ?¬Å?I don’t understand how this could have happened,ââ?¬Â says Katie MacDowell, 17, a senior at Littleton (Mass.) High School. She learned Thursday that the score reported to colleges for her test was 40 points lower than it should have been.
