High school students who were blocked by technical issues from submitting online Advanced Placement exams sued Wednesday demanding their work be counted. But the executive who oversees the program says they will likely have to retake the tests instead.
About 15,550 of the 3 million timed tests taken at home during the past two weeks ended with error messages.
Students have publicly shared their frustration at watching the clock run out while they tried to submit their responses.
The three-hour exams are typically taken on paper in school but were redesigned as 45-minute online exams when the coronavirus shut down schools.
