Some of the material was completely alien to her, she hadn't studied for it and she doesn't have experience with this kind of test so she ran out of time.

Given that she hadn't prepped at all - just returned home after a 3 week CTY camp, I expect her to do much better than that on the real test because she will have done the Khan stuff online and have refined her exam technique by 4 months time.

I am loathe to put her through it if I am just setting her up for 'failure' though.

DW has her eye in a scholarship for girls too - I just want a summer camp that she will enjoy and stretch her a bit...
