Because she struggles with math and English and doesn't show evidence that she 
will be able to pass an SAT.  However, that doesn't explain why an updated IQ 
and psych eval will help. It doesn't make sense to me or why the services for 
the blind would want it.

Let me try that again. New software and "send" is easily bumped. Sorry!

I'm not clear if the high school or the college is asking, but why ask at all at 
the end of high school, and why not traditional entrance exams like SAT for 
college?
