There someone changed the answers on her test, helping her score a 1420 out of 1600, a 400-point improvement from her PSAT results just one year prior.

The scheme worked in several ways. First, parents would pay obtain a medical document which said their child needed extra time to complete either their SAT or ACT test. Once they got it, they would take the test in one of two centers that was controlled by the scheme's 'mastermind' Rick Singer. One was in Hollywood and one was in Texas. She was spotted on Thursday walking in front of her Hollywood Hills home after she holed up in the residence on Wednesday after posting bail Singer paid off Mark Riddell, a 'really smart' Florida college prep teacher who would fly to the test locations when a child was due to take it and either sit it for them or correct their answers once they had finished. The doctored tests were then sent on to be graded. The second part of the scheme involved creating fake athlete profiles for kids to get them athletic scholarships to schools they would not have gotten into on their grades alone. Singer allegedly had several sports coaches from various colleges around the US on his pay roll to facilitate this part of the scheme.
