It didn't take them 2 years to find it; it took them two years to build a criminal case and get an indictment. According to a report I read, they found out in October, 2007.
Quote:
The situation came to light in October, 2007, when an employee of the high school guidance office discovered conflicting SAT scores for Brittany.
Scores provided directly by the College Board showed a cumulative score of 1370, while an unknown source had previously entered 1730, according to court papers.
Further investigation revealed that the data had been entered from Caroline McNeal's computer starting more than a week befor SAT scores for other students were entered.

I just hope that the school was able to correct the scores, grades and rankings for the other kids before anything went out to colleges, or re-sent them after corrections were made.
