Share your concerns about a shaky math foundation, and think a tutor would probably be appropriate for her current math class if you can swing it. Free option would be to link her college board account to Khan Academy. It basically looks at where your child is weak and suggests prep for them. With my oldest studied for the SAT he would even input his practice tests to get further narrowing of topics he needed to improve. This was the only studying he did for the SAT or ACT and he ended up with 1560/35. With our other two, we did custom private tutoring, and actually ended up being less than the complete course because focus was specific to my kids weaknesses. In the case where there is such an imbalance I would think it could be very effective. Also try the ACT. Math is easier/more straightforward but you need to be able to work quick. The tutoring firm we used offered a practice SAT or ACT most Saturday mornings timed under test conditions for free. If this is an option I would do it.
