[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here and thank you! I needed to hear this. There’s just such a disconnect between her test performance and her work in school. And it’s not grade inflation - I see her work and she’s understanding the material. She will be crushed and I don’t want to let this disaster cause her to spin. I’m spinning now, so I can get get it out of my system and help her move forward calmly. But it’s hard not to panic.

Should we get a book, register for Khan Academy or another test prep program? I agree we need to address the anxiety, but she’s incredibly resistant to therapy, having had a few bad experiences. Is there a program that specifically deals with test performance anxiety?

Thanks again.[/quote]

I mean this kindly but you sound very anxious. I wouldn’t worry about prep yet. That’s for next summer at the earliest. If she really wants to do something, I’d suggest reading for pleasure and doing Khan Academy math. The math will be useful for school anyway. Next summer if you decide to prep, I’d do private tutoring with someone who specializes in test anxiety. But really, all I’d do now is get the accommodations lined up and work on stress relief.[/quote]
