How did she do in writing section of the SAT?

Good you’ve realized your involvement should remain limited. I suggest your DD get a writing tutor this summer. Even if you can’t find instructional materials at a college level, those skills which are developed in MS and HS, are still valid. She might want to work with a former English HS teacher.

The difference between HS and college level writing is her analysis. While she is learning the practical aspects of writing, like organization and how to express yourself in writing, you might also want to help build her analytical thinking in conversation too.
