Is there any proof that Curie had the exact TJ test?

You must be new here. The allegations, from the beginning, have been exactly as a PP described... with students essentially memorizing and reporting back questions to develop a test bank... problematic not only because it is both unethical and cheating in the broader sense, but in particular a big issue for the Quant-Q because many of those questions were reused in subsequent years on this test (unlike other broader standardized tests like SAT which have similar format/concept questions each year, but not verbatim reproductions).

Your efforts to minimize this are fairly transparent.

Trolls gonna troll.

Quant Q didn't use the same exact test question year to year.
Just having the format and question type is a big advantage.
This information was fairly easily available.
You can get test prep for the quant Q test on amazon.

Do those books include actual test questions from prior years? Probably not if they haven’t been pulled from Amazon yet. If they do then someone broke their NDA.

Paying $$$$ to have access to previous test questions on an NDA-protected test provides an unfair advantage to wealthy kids in admissions for a public school program

I see this is a revived thread from 2020. Was there ever any follow up about whether Curie really has test copies? Or has nothing happened?

What is Curie?

Success is proportional to student wanting to and being able to master the content. So if the student demonstrates readiness and likes a challenge, and of course with proper parental support, success follows.

A parent is considered wealthy for spending hundreds on academics but not for spending thousands on sports?

don't know but sports aren't public education so don't think it matters

Sports are part of public education. PE is a required class, and substantial resources, hundreds of millions in capital and yearly school budget, are dedicated to sports activities. In case people didnt notice, thousands of gyms, basketball courts, soccer/baseball fields, football fields are facilities for public education.

+1. Also, being a star athlete is a much better hook for college admissions and scholarships than just about anything else.
