Any idea how to prep her to answer to her best ability?
I know I'm reading this post late, but the book mindset by Carol Dweck addresses this well. As your DD is still young, your understanding of these concepts and being able to coach her in developing a "growth" mindset may be helpful over the years.

The concept of fixed mindset vs growth mindset is nicely summarized in these youtube videos:
Ashley Merryman & Po Bronson: The Myth of Praise (link-
) and
Teaching a Growth Mindset (link-
) by Carol Dweck whose research was mentioned in the Bronson video clip. These links provide quick summaries, their books contain more info. One aspect or application of a fixed mindset is that gifted kids, in order to be seen as "right" or "smart", may stop taking appropriate risks, possibly shunning a challenge and preferring easy work which may represent a level of underachievement. A fixed mindset may work against them and be exhibited as a lack of resilience.
