[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here with another data point. DD’s best friend had the same teacher, studied with DD (and not additionally) and got a B in the class whereas DD got an A. Her friend got a 5 on the exam and DD got a 3. Their preparation was nearly identical. DD clearly needs to address the disconnect. As mentioned previously, her inability to show what she knows on exams isn’t new. I just don’t know how to help her.[/quote]
Thanks for the update. It puts things in perspective. 
Maybe your DD has test anxiety?[/quote]

She does and has a 504 Plan for anxiety that we got for her in the 5th grade. I’d hoped she would outgrow her supports as she got more experience with tests. The extra time helps, but she still swirls with all the possibilities on multiple choice tests. She does well on essays or short narrative responses. She just started with self-paced Magoosh to prep for the ACT and hopefully that will help her with test strategy. Thank goodness for test optional but that only solves the college admission part. Testing is part of life.

I’ve considered talking to her doctor about  Propanolol for test anxiety (DH and I both take it for public speaking and interviews). But I’m not sure if that’s recommended at her age.[/quote]
