[quote=Anonymous]OP again.  Thank you all for your advice!  DD doesn't have a clear direction of where she wants to go or what she wants to study.  She's not Ivy-bound and probably not even UVA or W&M material.  We're thinking she should be able to get into one of the other VA publics test-optional, worst case scenario.  This might be wrong-headed, but hopefully not too far off the mark.

She works so hard at school and is already so stressed out, that I can't see putting more stress on her to do well on these tests.  The problem is not the content, but the lack of time.  This has always been a big problem for her.  I am sure that some test-taking strategies and a little practice would help her out, but I don't see her making a huge improvement after an expensive prep course.  Not to mention the fact that it irritates me to no end that kids need to prep at all (outside of taking a practice test or two).  Aren't these tests supposed to measure knowledge?  I'll have her play the game, because she has to, but only to a certain extent.  Ok, sorry for the soapbox moment![/quote]
