[quote=Anonymous]OP, this is your second post about this, and it sounds like you're not familiar with the US system and are really stressed about this, which is entirely understandable.

Is your child a junior or a senior? If she's a junior there's a reasonable argument to be made for taking it without studying or with minimal studying (maybe just a few practice tests to get a feel of the pacing, since you say she tends to be slower). See what the score is and then decide whether and how much to study before she retakes it (and yes, most kids take it more than once).

If she's a senior this is harder, because there's less opportunity to retake it. In that case I would get a full practice test (look for study books in the bookstore or library that have practice tests) to get an idea what her baseline score would be. The book should then have a program she can work through to study.

Another option is to sign her up for one of the commercial SAT prep classes. They'll go through a similar process - have her take a practice test, identify her strengths and weaknesses and then have her work on weaker areas. If you're not familiar with the US SAT system works and you can afford this, it might be the option that makes most sense for you.[/quote]
