This is a very old story. Not for Soriano, but for other students like her. The students who make these kinds of jumps always were sick the day they took the first test, etc.
There is a certain random element in SAT testing. Even without feedback/ prep tests, a student is not going to get the exact score every time.
So shouldn't regression to the mean be considered? Improving from 750 to 1100 would be a lot easier than going from 1100 to 1450.
My advice to Soriano: Fight the power! And stop swinging at ouside sliders.
