 ASHBURN, Va.(WUSA9) -- Nearly a month after some SAT tests disappeared, Loudoun County school officials say they were discovered in a cart at the same school where students took the test. That turned out not to be the case when all of the tests were located in the school’s shipping area Monday at about 11:30 a.m., says Loudoun County Public School Spokesman Wayde Byard. At 9:07 a.m., the box and four other boxes were moved to the shipping area, where they were going to be shipped to Educational Testing Services (ETS). Administrators though the box that left the building at 3 p.m. with UPS contained the answers, however, it stayed in the shipping area until it was located during a sweep Monday.

 When the tests did not make it to the College Board on time, officials had they had video showing the tests were picked up by UPS. The school says the tests will be validated, and the affected students will not have to retake the exam.
– A month after 236 SATs went missing, school officials in Loudoun County, Va., found the tests yesterday—and they weren't exactly in the hands of UPS as the school had initially claimed, reports NBC Washington. Rather, they were neatly boxed up sitting in a cart in Broad Run High School's shipping area—presumably a place where one would have thought to look before telling students they might face a retake. "UPS did not lose this, and we apologize profoundly to UPS," says a school rep, per WTOP. The rep says some mix-up happened when the exams were moved from the guidance office; the school had claimed it had video of a UPS employee carrying the box, but it was actually "a box that looked like the one containing the tests [that] went out the door at 3pm that day," the rep says. The tests were being hand-delivered to the College Board in Princeton, NJ, notes WUSA, and it appears they'll be validated.
