Kamilah Campbell wasn't happy with her SAT score the first time she took it, scoring a combined 900.
So she says she buckled down, studied before and after school and got extra tutoring.
When she took the test a second time, she notched a more than 300 point increase, scoring 1230.
She was thrilled until she got a letter suggesting she had cheated, invalidating the results and throwing her college dreams into jeopardy.
"I did not cheat. I studied and I focused to achieve my dreams. To have your effort taken away from you, and them saying, 'oh well, we think you cheated.' It's not fair," says Kamilah.

Campbell's family hired a lawyer.
The testing service says they don't cancel scores based on gains alone, but that scores could be flagged when test takers sheets have similar wrong and right answers.
