ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Parents say hundreds of SAT tests taken by Virginia students at a high school were lost in the mail, leaving students in a bind.

WJLA-TV (http://bit.ly/1J7X1fM) reports tests are missing for 300 students who took the SAT on May 2 at Broad Run High School in Ashburn.

A Loudoun County schools representative says the tests were shipped via UPS, as instructed, to College Board, the non-profit that administers the SAT, but the tests never arrived. Parent say students will now have to take the test again.

College Board said in an email to the station that it’s working to accommodate students by scheduling a make-up day or arranging a transfer to a future test session. The make-up date will be June 20.
