Thanks, @Lindagaf I think what’s frustrating D is that she knows every tip. She watched every video that the author of the Black Book made - hours and hours of them and thought they were super helpful. She knows how the test is trying to trick her. She knows it’s not as hard as it looks and knows not to overthink. She studies by going back over the questions she got wrong by trying to re-do the problem and get the correct answer the second time and then looks up the correct answer and the best way to solve it.

yet, she’s still making some dumb mistakes. I think it has to be psychological at this point. The stress of it.

I called the tutor who I want to use and she’s booked solid until after our school SAT in April, so I guess our goal will be to lessen the stress of the whole thing. I bought the book that @Qtinfo suggested. D needs to try to relax about this. I explained that she’s got time and she knows she can superscore but she says she’s just flat out going to have some stress until this part is over.
