What is your source for this?

How do prep courses produce prep materials for any test really - ACT, SAT LSAT. It's probably managed by people who took it before.

The problem was they reuse many questions each year so many applicants had seen the questions at their prep center beforehand. This gave them an unfair advantage and why the county had to change the selection criteria. Now people had to sign a non-disclosure so this was in fact blatant cheating.

Yes, my neighbor whose kid got in after years of prep swears by this.

Except that didn't happen. The county did not change the selection criteria because they thought people were cheating. They did not change it because TJ teachers were complaining that the kids weren't academically strong enough. They changed it because in 2020, when the data came out, the Black enrollment was listed as "TS", meaning too few kids got in to report the results. This looked awful for FCPS, especially in light of the BLM protests. Too few black kids and too many Asian kids = bad optics. That's it. I don't at all disagree with using the geographical allocations or revamping the admissions system to reduce the impact of prep. But let's all be honest as to why FCPS changed the admissions and what their goal was.

+1. The county changed the selection criteria because there weren’t enough black and Hispanic kids. Everything else was just window dressing.

But there are a couple posters who are trolls or just get off on accusing TJ kids of cheating. They keep repeating the same message over and over again. It’s getting comical.

I heard they did it to put a stop to the rampant cheating.

Since only wealthy families who paid for prep had access to the test, nobody else stood a chance. The county had to put an end to that in order to give all residents access to these opportunities not just those willing to drop thousands into prep.

It's true that Black and Hispanic families on average have lower SES and rarely spend money on prep so they couldn't really compete with kids who bought the test answers.

My Asian kid didn't do any prep and got in just fine despite the discrimination against Asians in fcps and TJ. Stop asking for a handout and put some efforts in.

That's good to hear. And with the cheating reduced or eliminated, it will be the same for others too.

It's really strange to hear there's discrimination since I'd heard that TJ is something like 70% Asian.

Where have you been? That's like saying there is no discrimination against Asians in college admissions.

Well college admissions aren't race blind whereas TJ admissions are. Since nobody knows an applicants race, it's kind of hard to discriminate.

There are some many things wrong with this post I can't even...

It helps them feel less bitter by talking made-up trash who cares. I know it's frustrating for a lot of parents since the new system is harder to game, and they need to vent somewhere.

Actually, the new system is easier to game.

Well, you used to be able to buy the test answers so it was easier for people with money.

Where did you buy your answers?

The prep centers were conducting exit interviews on students who had taken the test. This allowed them to compile question banks. Many of these questions would show up in subsequent years. It wasn't really a big secret. Everyone knew it was going on. How do you think one prep center got 30% of those admitted in one year? Do you think it was talent? LOLOL

Everyone knows this was going on. It's why the county had to change the selection criteria. I'm not sure why these posters want to keep it secret even now since the cats out of the bag.

The cheating was so out of control that they had to scrap the whole selection process and come up with what we have now.

Amazing that they had evidence of out of control cheating, but didn't use that in the lawsuit to justify their admissions changes. Seems like it would be a slam dunk win to show that the changes needed to happen due to rampant cheating.

+1 Cheating would have been a good defense to raise if it really happened.

No, FCPS neither wanted to, nor could prove it. It would be attacking students, when they found a better solution by changing the admissions process.

If they couldn't prove it, that means there's no actual evidence. Thanks for admitting that the "cheating scandal" is just hearsay and a conspiracy theory.

OH MY GOD STOP

It wasn’t CHEATING.

It was a flaw in the admissions process that allowed families to use their resources to have access to materials that they shouldn’t have had access to and created imbalances that were deeply unfair and problematic.

Not citing the Curie situation as part of their reasoning isn’t evidence either that it didn’t happen or that it wasn’t a part of FCPS’ decision making process.

Exactly. People went from some kids saying they saw the questions, to Curie was buying the test, or was debriefing the students about what questions were on it to make a question bank for next year.
Maybe it's true, or maybe they got their hand on some sample questions. but it's just guessing.

It is FALSE that Curie bought the test or that their students had access to all of the exam questions prior to sitting for the exam.

It is TRUE that Curie students reported that, when they sat for the Quant-Q, they realized they’d seen SOME of the exact questions before and had been shown how to solve essentially all of them, step by step, at Curie.

Sounds like there needed to be revisions to the test, not no test or middle school quotas to admit kids to TJ who couldn’t even get into an AAP center. But it was politically expedient to throw the baby out with the bath water and suggest every non-FARMS family must be sending their kid to Curie (which is based out of Chantilly and caters overwhelmingly to Indian families).
