“First they look to see if there is a change in a student’s score from an earlier test. What typically triggers an inquiry is a 350-point shift in the combined SAT math and critical reading, or a 250-point change in either test.”

They also look at handwriting.

Plus there’s an algorithm.

    I think there are hidden meanings in ‘earlier test’ – a huge run-up from the PSAT will catch their attention, too. Test scores are pretty hard to move, even a whole lot of work at Kaplan rarely pushes the needle more than 1/2 of a standard deviation. So a whole standard deviation (100 points on one test) is huge, very rare to be legit.
