纽约市约2500名考生14日上午参加精英高中入学考试时遭遇电脑故障，被迫中途离场。市教育局在致家长的信中说，当天上午多个考点的考试平台出现技术问题，考试被迫中止，学生随后被送离考点。据《纽约邮报》获得的信件，故障与考试承办商培生有关，部分学生无法登录数字考试系统，另一些学生做到一半被迫停下。市教育局承诺，14日原定参加考试的学生将获得新的考试日期，家庭将于11月20日前收到通知。今年是教育局首次推行自适应版本的特殊高中入学考试，题目难度会根据考生答题情况调整。培生于2024年获得合同，负责考试的数字化管理。此次故障影响的考点包括布鲁克林科技高中与史岱文森高中等多所学校。该考试是进入全市九所特殊高中其中八所的唯一录取依据。市教育局未回应《纽约邮报》的置评请求。
2,500 New York Students Forced to Leave Elite High School Entrance Exam After Computer Failure; Makeup Date to Be Announced by Nov. 20
About 2,500 students in New York City were forced to leave midway through the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test on the morning of Nov. 14 after a computer failure. In a letter to parents, the Department of Education said the testing platform experienced technical problems at multiple test sites that morning, the exam was forced to stop, and students were then sent away from the test sites. According to the letter obtained by the New York Post, the failure was related to test administrator Pearson, with some students unable to log into the digital testing system and others forced to stop partway through. The Department of Education promised that students scheduled to take the test on Nov. 14 would be given a new test date, and families would be notified by Nov. 20. This year is the first time the Department of Education has rolled out an adaptive version of the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test, with question difficulty adjusting based on students' answers. Pearson won the contract in 2024 to handle the digital administration of the exam. Test sites affected by the failure included Brooklyn Technical High School and Stuyvesant High School, among others. The exam is the sole admissions criterion for eight of the city's nine specialized high schools. The Department of Education did not respond to the New York Post's request for comment.
