<p>Chedva’s thought also occurred to me. If that’s not the case, it sounds like your daughter is a little stressed/fragile and I think putting <em>too</em> much emphasis on raising the math score might be detrimental. If it were me I’d consider doing a tiny bit of SAT prep private tutoring focusing on the math section. One of my kids is in a Georgetown Learning Center group prep course but they also offer private, one-on-one sessions that can address specific concerns.</p>
<p>Again, I’d offer a little help if your daughter is amenable, but definitely don’t let her think she’s shot herself in the foot just because of one score on one sub-test. Admissions offices, particularly at smaller schools, will look at the whole package.</p>
