You don't say whether she has to read and do the tests herself..my oldest child suffers from LD...she did well in many areas...despite her low level reading. However, we found that she failed nearly every test she took. After talking with teachers and her special needs teacher we decided to try having the tests read to her. This worked very well and she passed her tests with 80% or above. We also included this for my granddaughter who is Learning Challenged with dyslexia and in 7th grade only reads at a pre-primer level. But she does well on tests which have been read to her. Perhaps you could have her IEP program changed so that tests are read to her. Hopefully that will make a difference for her. Wishing you all the best.
