Software Error to Blame for Some Brokers Who Failed Test

An AP newswire article, via Yahoo! News, reports that:

Almost 2,000 people trying to qualify as stockbrokers were flunked in last 14 months because of a software error in a test program, the NASD said Friday.

The private-sector regulatory group, formerly the National Association of Securities Dealers, is notifying 1,882 individuals — about 10 percent of those who failed — that they actually passed.

About 30 percent of people who take the test fail on average, said NASD spokeswoman Nancy Condon.
