I don’t see the AP Calculus issue to be that related to the ACT issue. For the ACT, your D should ideally do two things: One is to take practice timed tests on a weekly basis and review her answers. Practice can really help. The second thing is some sessions with a tutor who may be able to individualize where her weaknesses are on the test and also help with strategies to learn to finish the test in the time allotted so she is not losing points that way. It is worth this effort to see if she can raise her scores. I would not leave it to chance. She obviously has worked hard in school and it makes sense to put some effort into prep for these required tests so as to be on par with her academic record. If the prep does not pay off (though it should), she’ll know she did what she could do.
