[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter takes honors/IB and is an A/B student.  Last year on the PSAT, she got 1110.  She did well on the language portion (90+ percentile) and not as great on math (80+ percentile) - I think overall she was in the 86 percentile or something like that.  She's not great at taking standardized/timed tests (runs out of time, especially in math).

As of now, it looks like she'll go to a state college in VA - probably liberal arts - with an undeclared major.  She not shooting for UVA.  I'd love for her to go to William & Mary (I think it would be a good fit), but I don't think she'll be competitive.  Maybe Christopher Newport or JMU or Mary Washington?  If these are the schools she's looking at, do you think I should send her to an SAT prep course?  I just don't want to spend the money and her time if she's in the ballpark with her SAT scores and looks like a decent candidate for those schools.  On the other hand, I will make the investment if her scores are considered low for those schools.

Any advice?[/quote]

She needs to improve her SATs by 200 from the PSAT to get into W&M.[/quote]
