Integrity still matters.

Interesting. The problem solving essay was up on youtube within days of the actual test,

There was a makeup date a week later. Was this only if the original one was canceled, or could students attend this if they missed the first one?

I have no idea. I just know that there are videos that have the date they were posted and the solution. I don’t think TJ posted them I think the test prep places grilled kids.

I am sure that the makeup kids get a different question though.

If the past is any indication, they just recycle the questions from previous years.

Make-up kids get much harder questions. We are this case last year. Radioactive isotopes. It was fun to crack that one

DC’s friend took the make up this year as he was sick on the day of actual test. Said it was similar to the test date question on hardness scale.

But not the same one right?

No it was a different one. DC took the test on the actual testing day. He confirmed it was a different one.

Radioactive isotopes. I don't recall our ES and MS science teachers ever teaching that. Are students expected to read extensively on all Science subjects?

No.

You don't need to have read about the topic. They are looking at scientific reasoning. Figuring out what half-lives are and kind of coming up with logarithms. Or maybe the question was something else.
