My advice is lighten up on her for the last couple of weeks and let her body get relaxed. The idea of the test is, it is supposed to take you beyond your limits, irregardless of conditioning. Let her work on the wai kru and shadowbox, and don't stress the test. Unless her teacher is disliked by the padholders, it will be a fair test of her abilities to defend herself. The holders are being tested on their ability to attack, so Master Chai may be putting more pressure on them than her. Her last 3 years have already determined whether she will pass or fail. And wish her luck. All you should ask, as a teacher, is that she do her best.
