I also remembered that there is r/asklibrarians but you should definitely ask your local librarians. This is the kind of thing they live for!
I had some time this morning so I went through our history books and found as many as I could that are good for general reference so they should hit all those subjects for her in a broad but informative way. Since that's my son's favorite subject, and he is homeschooled, we keep a lot of historical encyclopedias around:
Everything You Need To Know To Ace World History
Everything You Need To Know To Ace American History
World War II: The Definitive Visual Guide
The Usborne Internet-Linked Encyclopedia of World History
Free: U. S. History Sourcebook - Basic Kindle Edition
Also Free: U. S. History Sourcebook - Advanced Kindle Edition
The Kingfisher History Encyclopedia there is probably a newer version now of this. This is my son's FAVORITE throughout the years.
History: From the Dawn of Civilization to the Present Day
This is a good one too: Himeji Castle: Japan's Samurai Past
Since your daughter is interested in Japanese history as well, I asked my son's Japanese teacher what she would recommend (she has the kids read books periodically), and she recommended some books. I know they're not all nonfiction, but historical fiction can give a lot of context and understanding.
The Cat Who Went to Heaven – Elizabeth Coatsworth
The Samurai’s Tale – Erik C. Heaugaard
Born in the Year of Courage – Emily Crofford
The Big Wave – Pearl S. Buck
The Master Puppeteer – Katherine Patterson
The Sign of the Chrysanthemum – Katherine Patterson
Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes – Eleanor Coerr
Heart of a Samurai – Margi Preus
If you're after cheap books and can't find them at the library, search on abebooks.com or the used books on amazon.com. We always check Abebooks first because they're almost always cheaper there once you factor in shipping.
Also, as a general reader this may be good

I don't use textbooks in history. I'll be honest - it's tough. You will need a lot of sources and do things like guided notetaking/lecturing and PowerPoints to get the information across. Brief, 2-3 paragraph readings with 3-5 questions from the readings are good for homework too. Try to find condensed versions of history books to help you as well. For example, something like this which I use - https://www.amazon.com/Everything-Need-American-History-Notebook/dp/0761160833/ref=asc_df_0761160833/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312178232056&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5033432836201444507&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9003217&hvtargid=pla-481046914717&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=60258870937&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=312178232056&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5033432836201444507&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9003217&hvtargid=pla-481046914717
Hey are you done taking them or not? I did the English one but still need the other two! If you have any other helpful resources please let me know.
I suck at math so I've been avoiding and delaying the whole process! I should've gotten certified a long time ago.
Anyways here's what I've got to study for the exams: English, Math, US History and Science
