Thanks in advance

Depending on AOS/AET - they take the average of 3 sections

FOR AET - It is avg of all sections except scientific thinking
FOR AOS - It is avg of all sections except tech logic


Test part is only 1/4 of the criteria..Below is criteria

1) 6,7 and 1st quarter of 8th grades
2) Essay part of the test
3) stem critical thinking part of the test

On top of these - each school has a quota. This system is unfair to students from the top competitive MS in the county .

If this is the scenario then why do some kids getting rejections in one of these 2 while they got into another one🤔

Let’s email AOL people if there is any chance of notifying kids about their chances on waitlist . Its too painful to sit on the fence for almost 5 months .

You made this up to fit your own desire of what is important. It isn’t true.

Class grades are only prerequisite for attempting the test

For AOS and AET, even though they started to mention the lower Algebra 1 minimum to apply to please the equity crazies, everyone admitted have atleast Geometry and many with Algebra 2. Even so, the AOS math is not easy, and struggling kids return to base school, although very few. AET math is manageable.

If any of the kids return to base school, Those positions will be offered to other waitlist kids?

I thought year one math was the same for both?

No. Once school year starts, admissions process is closed.

They are different. AOS has more math Analysis than AET. However, both AOS and AET math are integrated two year math courses. Content wise they are based on Algebra-2 trig and Precalc topics, plus a lot of Math Analysis topics blended in. Topics are introduced using elaborate problem sets with some as group projects, unlike in base school where math techniques along with practice problems are introduced using traditional sequencing.
