board's guidelines and set up the rooms in a certain way. obviously there were seating irregularities that didn't follow those guidelines. >> reporter: for now, looks like those 400 students have two options. they can retake their ap tests or they can have their test fees refunded and previous test scores invalidated. for students willing to retake exams, makeups will be held june 2-9, but that coincides with finals week here at amador valley high school, so a lot of students who are retaking the ap exam say their final exams are really going to suffer now that their attention is focused on the ap exam again. live in pleasanton, allie rasmus, ktvu channel 2news. >> same thing happened last year at millbrae. back then, the college board and testing services threw out hundreds of ap test scores at mills high school after it was found the students were facing each other during the testing. those students also had to retake the tests. oakland police have arrested a parent volunteer suspected of attacking a 9-year- old girl with a hammer at

refunded and previous test scores invalidated. two weeks ago, a student complained about seating arrangements in the classrooms. test officials sent investigators to the school and discovered that the student seats were too close together by about 4 inches and in some cases, not all of the desks were facing the same direction. thousand, that violates the college board's guidelines for the setup for taking these exams. the college board oversees the ap exam system. school administrators say they take full responsibility for the mistake, but it's not much consolation for the students who have to take the exams all over again. >> everyone is depressed. lot of seniors are graduating in two weeks. >> these kids are under so much pressure. i think it's unfair. i want to understand why, why they can do this. >> reporter: now, some of the 400 students affected by this have formed a facebook group. in it, students have discussed ways to try and get the college board to reconsider its decision and possibly change its guidelines in the future so
