<p>Thanks for all of the suggestions. As for the question -- What does she read for fun? Answer -- Not enough. She is a great student and studier and always has a great deal of required reading for school but she doesn't read for pleasure nearly enough as I did when I was her age. </p>
<p>I'm glad she took the test in 10th grade so that she will have opportunity to improve. She scored a 730 in US History, a silver medal maxima cum laude in the National Latin IV exam, a 4 and a 5 in APs and can't break 500 in the CR SAT.....go figure!! </p>
<p>Thanks for the suggestions -- she is a motivated student so hopefully will be able to turn this around.</p>
<p>Frazzled --- I will read the suggestions that you sent. Hopefully she'll be able to bring this score up as your daughter did. </p>
<p>Manny1 -- I will look into the ACT. She's always done well on other standardized tests as did my older daughter...for some reason, however, this CR is proving to be a challenge! Both of my daughters have complained that the subject matter is especially dull.</p>
