She is only 12 years old, in 7th grade.
Is she in a gifted/enrichment program? Ever made any B's on her report card? Ever had her IQ tested?
If she's truly gifted at a level where they want her to take the SATs, she might need to skip a grade. Holding highly intelligent children into a grade with their age group can have negative effects as they enter puberty. They often get bored, which can led to disinterest and getting into trouble. I've seen it first hand, as long as read various studies.

I skipped fifth grade and it worked out great. I spent most of my school years bored beyond belief.
