We have been working on this. She actually got a 100% on the practice test in class which, presumably, required attention to detail as well. She just has such huge anxiety related to the real tests at this point, b/c she hasn't done well on any of them, that it seems to be making the attention to detail much worse. Unfortunately, the practice test doesn't count toward her grade.
