STANDARDIZED TEST... AFTER SOME OF THE EXAMS WERE LOST. KAYLA ANDERSON JOINS US LIVE FROM THE NEWSROOM WITH MORE. AS IF THE STRESS AND PRESSURE OF TAKING THE NEW MEXICO HIGH SCHOOL COMPETENCY EXAM WASN'T ENOUGH FOR 57 SOPHOMORES AT ELDORADO HIGH SCHOOL... THEY NOW HAVE TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN. THOSE STATE MANDATED TESTS THE STUDENTS TOOK BACK IN JANUARY WERE LOST EN ROUTE TO THE COMPANY THAT SCORES THEM. THE BOX THOSE TESTS WERE IN WAS BADLY DAMAGED WHEN IT ARRIVED IN SAN ANTONIO AND 57 OF THE TESTS WERE MISSING. 'It's not an issue that Eldorado had control here, nor our department here. Our boxes were picked up in perfect condition, and when they got there, they weren't in perfect condition.'THE STUDENTS WILL RETAKE ALL SIX PARTS OF THE STATE MANDATED EXAM NEXT WEEK. MEANWHILE... PEARSON EDUCATION INCORPORATED... THAT'S THE COMPANY THAT SCORES THE TESTS... SAYS THEY'LL STOP USING UPS AS A CARRIER FOR THEIR EXAMS. PARENTS... IF YOU'RE CURIOUS IF YOUR STUDENT IS AFFECTED... ELDORADO SENT OUT LETTERS TO THOSE FAMILIES LAST WEEK. MARLA, BACK TO YOU. POWER IS BACK ON  « Less
