(Wisconsin Radio Network) -Some Wisconsin high school students could see a change in their spring ACT scores.

The Wisconsin State Journal reports that ACT found a scoring problem affecting students who took the online exam during school-day testing. The company began pulling affected scores May 13th and plans to reissue updated results by June second. Officials say scores will either stay the same or increase slightly, but won’t go down.

Milwaukee Public Schools has notified students and families, and ACT will resend corrected scores to colleges and scholarship programs. State Superintendent Jill Underly says the test still plays a key role in college admissions and school accountability.
