Need to score at least 200 more points to even consider submitting... so please help me determine if it is even likely to boost 200+
Thank You very much-for any thoughts![/quote]

Do the kid a favor and encourage them to apply and attend where 1220-1280 is around the 25th percentile of the pre-test-optional range of matriculated students, from common data set of the class that started in 2020 (the last group that had scores required). If your kid happens to get 200 points which us not likely and they happen to get into a T30 school where 1400 is the lower range they will be out of their league for all quantitative classes. We have known personally kids that did this or got extra time and did it. Then they get to the college thinking they are in-range and yet end up struggling in pre-med or other quantitative classes. 
Unless you have data that the 1220 is not their potential (PSAT percentiles or other nationally normed tests), do not push them with months of tutoring to try to get into 1400 range schools. They will be miserable.
