You can't have "we are going to lose, why bother playing the game" attitude. If she wants to try, let her try. Driven kids can improve 200 pts without much difficulties. [/quote]

OP here --  I should have mentioned that even though she is a good student and cares about her grades and wants to go to college - she seems to have no motivation to think about what college she might want to go to (other than that she wants to go to go away to college - not too far, but not too close) or what she wants to study.  I honestly think she's just overwhelmed by it.  College brochures go straight in the trash and she when we broach the topic, she shuts it down.  If she were clamoring to do well on the SAT and had any motivation to do some prep - I would enroll her in a heartbeat.  She will have no desire to attend a prep class.

Thanks for all of the advice so far.  I agree about getting her to try the ACT as well - I think she might do better on it.  Is 1100 a bad/low score?  Will she have trouble getting into some of the schools I listed?  [/quote]
