This article studies the crippling programming error made by CTB/McGraw-Hill, a major test publisher, while computing standardized test results across the nation. "A post-mortem of how this error spread unimpeded for so long lays bare a basic truth of standardized testing: school districts lack the ability to uncover serious testing errors on their own, and must rely on the testing companies to do so voluntarily."
