[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. DD is a rising junior. She has accommodations for anxiety. She works hard and is an excellent student. Her AP Gov teacher told her an essay she wrote was the best he’d ever read. I’m sure the essay portion was fine, but multiple choice tests kill her. She doubts herself, panics, changes answers. When she bombed her PSAT, she skipped entire sections. She even failed her learners’ permit test. Twice. I don’t know how to help her with this skill.[/quote]

She's only in 10th grade. A 3 is a good score at this point. I don't know why these public schools want everyone to take AP tests starting in 9th grade. My kid's school does a lot of gatekeeping with AP classes so by the time kids take them, they are actually prepared and mostly getting 4s and 5s.

She can apply test optional for college so don't worry about that. My kid did and got in everywhere he applied with much better merit aid than I expected.

He failed his learner's once because he barely studied and his driving test twice. None of that matters because he has had his license for two years and hasn't had any accidents or tickets while his friends who passed on the first try have gotten tickets and had accidents.[/quote]
