TJ entrance test answers were never for sale

[Anonymous]

There is a troll here on DCUM who loves to perpetuate this lie. She repeats it to support the false narrative that TJ only admitted students from exceptionally high SES families, who could afford to (as she put it) “buy the test answers.”

Her claim is not true. It was never true.

When challenged on this falsehood, she often asserts test-preparation courses equal “buying test answers.” But, by her twisted logic, anyone’s child who does an SAT prep session or even buys a test-prep book from Amazon, has somehow “purchased the answers to the upcoming SAT.”

Call this troll out when you encounter her lies here. I’ve tried reporting her, but she’s apparently still around. I’m uncertain why she harbors such hatred towards TJ or why she insists on repeatedly lying about TJ admissions.

I mean, is anyone falling for such blatant lies?

This logic is why I subscribe to ghosts and UFO conspiracy theories.

You are free to believe there wasn't a test bank that was used at some prep programs but there was. Students in the program admitted it. Students admitted to providing the questions for the test bank.

Did anyone buy the test? No.

Did people pay for access to past test questions? Yes.

Was it criminal activity? No

Was it an advantage to the kids who paid to take those classes? Yes.

Is it part of the reason the Quant test was removed? Yes.

Every test-preparation course in existence relies to some measure on knowledge of prior tests of the same type.

That is not “buying the answers to the test,” nor is there anything wrong or unexpected to it.

But yet, troll away the troll keeps on going with her “buying the answers to the test” lies.

As she should! Unethical behavior should not be hidden, or covered up or denied (see OP), it should be called out.

FCPS has proudly offered 340+ admissions to Asian American students, and you accuse them of unethical behavior?

There was an incident where an fcps employee gave the exact test to Marie Curie prep school. The kids memorized the answers. The employee was not fired!

You can't take the TJ test home with you.
The best you can do is try to recall what sorry of questions we're on the test. E.g., you can say that there's were analogies and exponents on the test. Nobody recited the test questions into a test bank
These are not test banks in the commonly understood sense, no matter what the social media posts of virtue signaling teenager's may say*

*The virtue signaling teenager in question was going on about how her privilege was unfair because not everyone could afford to pay for a prep class.

It's not TJ that she hates. It's testing and the racial achievement gap that it reveals.

Educational professionals and the institutions they run are abandoning testing because of race, not because testing has been down to be unreliable in some way.

You pay above average teenagers money for every question they remember and then create a bank of questions. You can even tell the teen which 5-10 to memorize. Even $10 a question will repay itself 100s back.

I'm convinced it is a sock puppet for curie. They're so good that FCPS has to keep changing their admissions policy to keep out their students.

Unethical behavior? Studying for a test?
