The group responsible for a widely used college admissions test cancelled scores for a number of students who took the test in January. Those students took the international SAT, formerly known as the Scholastic Aptitude Test. The College announced it is studying the scores of other students who took the January test. The non-profit College Board, which develops the SAT, said on Wednesday it is taking steps to try to reduce cheating on the admissions test. Results from the SAT and Advanced Placement, or AP, exams can help or hurt students interested in attending an American college or university. The College Board said there will only be four dates on which students can take the SAT during the 2017-2018 school year and the following school year. There are usually six test dates each year.
