Good subject scores/lower SAT

Hi, My D will take 2 or 3 subject tests, not just because colleges might want them, but because she tends to do well on shorter tests, no matter how intense.
She was told by her teachers/GC that if she gets a higher math score on a subject test or a 4 or 5 on an AP test, it might offset a lower SAT score. She fades on long tests and like some other posters, doesn’t want medication for just that (It was offered and declined)
So… if you do score for example a 600 on the SAT math and 670 or more on the SAT ll, will that be helpful?
I’ve only heard one admission counselor mention it before and they did say they would look at that along with their school grades and see a pattern. If only the SAT was lower, they would discount it.
Anyone have that happen to them, with inconsistent scores?
