having a break is probably the best thing you can do at this point.
Dropping scores are normally a sign of the child being over prepped and getting bored/stressed/tested out.
Reassure her that she has already done all the hard work, and that will show on the day.
Plans a quiet day beforehand, normal school, no extra cramming, no mock tests (because if she underperforms last minute it will dent her confidence)
Talk things up on the day, calm, and plan a nice reward activity that evening of her choice for all her hard work (NOT for the result)
Good luck. It's totally normal for parents to worry at this point, but it usually goes okay on the day when the child has done the work and the practice.
All she can do is her best -your job now is to be her cheerleading squad and hug her afterwards!
