Think she cheated on her SAT?

DC ran out of time and left the last 11 questions blank on the practice PSAT -- I am sure hoping my kid's score jumps up!

This is my thought, too. My kid’s score was flagged after a very high jump, but was released after an investigation.

This is standard practice when there is a significant jump. It happens. It has nothing to do with race. The GoFundMe has only $46 which is where it should be. She just needs to retake the test and prove what she says is true - that she studied hard, etc. etc.

People act like once you study for a test, the information is in in your brain forever, so it should be no problem to retake the test. You know that's not the way it works for ANYONE. Asking her to retake it is asking her to redo all the hard work of studying again. She did that already. I'd be pissed if I had to deal that again.

The SAT doesn't have that kind of content. It's a skills test more than a memorization test. If she brushes up on her skills a little bit, she should have no problem repeating the test with a similar score.

She cheated, though. Her missed answers matched against another student's missed answers.

Assuming this evidence is presented and convincing, and backed statistical analysis and seating charts, isn't it possible the other student cheated from her?

A lot of classrooms have security cameras now.

Some very dishonest people in this thread. She should go through the arduous process of taking an hours-long exam again (this time under tremendous pressure) because her score was flagged? If this was one of your precious white children, you would be suing everyone in sight. And I know this as an attorney who makes a good living filing lawsuits on behalf of spoiled rich people who I personally think I need to get lost. 99% of these are white people.

If this was my daughter, I would not allow her to retake the test. We would fight this and they could go ahead and produce the “evidence” of her “cheating.”

And one more thing, none of you have seen ETS’s evidence of her alleged cheating. But you credit their claim immediately, right? Typical. The letter they sent her is a stock letter that most students of her background do not wherewithal to challenge.

Anyone who raised their score that much fair and square would be jumping to retake the test and prove to everyone that they earned it.

What she is doing would end this ridiculousness for everyone forever and is therefore very useful.

+1000. ETS accused her or cheating. Let them prove it. And if it turns out there is no conclusive evidence of her cheating, I hope this turns into a class action because I am sure there are others like her flagged purely due to racial stereotypes.

You can’t be this daft. You really are going to pretend ETS could not figure out the race of “Kamilah Campbell” of Florida at the very first try?

You people really bend over backwards to deny race, huh?

This is true. Big jumps in scores get the letter. It has nothing to do with race.

If the students next to her have consistent scores, the answers are the same as her's and she's the one that's jumped up then no.

It sounds like it has happened to several people in this thread and they all reacted by waiting it out and letting the system move things through.

None of their first responses was to immediately hire a lawyer, go to the media, and set up a $100,000 go fund me.

That is why she is getting a negative reaction.

Her first response is disproportional to the process.
