yes mombot, i think with a bit of practice your daughter can easily break the 700 barrier (4 problems wrong). I got 650-700 on PSAT and practice tests, but on the real thing i came out with an 800. It’s all about being in the right mindset and being self-aware as you are doing the math to avoid careless mistakes and errors in reasoning. Although I did not do anything but take a couple practice tests, I would really recommend Barron’s math workbook to you. The few problems that are keeping her from breaking 700 can be extensively practiced so on the real thing she can perform to her best ability. It may just be specific question types (for me it was rate and permutation probs) that are throwing her off. Good luck :).
