[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a more "regular" kid than the super high scorers who like to post on DCUM. She took her first SAT this past September and had taken one practice SAT on College Board's site before that. She scored exactly the same on both: 1290. [/quote]

That’s a better than “regular” score,
especially with limited practice and she should be proud of it.

My son took a practice test the summer before his junior year and scored somewhere in the high 1200s.  14 months later, tons of studying and four actual SAT tests taken, and he got to a superscore 1500.  Some kids (and parents) want to push beyond and others do not. I won’t say my kid’s way was better than someone else’s. For him, getting there was a miserable grind. There’s more to life than a test score and his approach is not for everyone.  But I know my son and he would have been more miserable in the end if he hadn’t put in the work.

My guess is your daughter is very bright and could get whatever score she wants and it just depends on what she wants. [/quote]
