Daughter's lopsided scores

<p>I forget specifically what the math portion of the SAT covers, but it is before any pre-calc. So it could be that, in addition to not enjoying math and possible grade inflation, the SAT is covering areas that she hasn’t had in 1-2 years… She would need to study up on those areas, I would think.</p>

<p>I would also assume that a tutor or program of some kind would be the best way to find out “what am I doing wrong” as opposed to “this one IS wrong.”</p>

<p>I don’t know if it would apply to her, but there is also a book out specifically for girls: The Girls’ Guide to the SAT. Girls tend to make different types of mistakes than boys do, and it could be that some of the info would help her out. For example, most boys are more willing to give it a good guess, but most girls want to be sure they are making the correct choice, so they end up spending too much time on questions that would be better served taking an educated choice and then moving on.</p>

<p>Best of luck.</p>
