[quote=Anonymous]Many of these posts keep saying tests mean nothing and we shouldn't use them, but then why are we graded on tests at school? How else can we determine who is capable of handling an advanced science and math curriculum? Especially when we have nothing else to go by, like a teacher rec or problem solving essay? Contrary to what some seem to think, it takes more than just interest. It takes aptitude and work. Why isn't anyone asking the TJ teachers what it really takes to be able to succeed in advanced stem courses? And then test the kids on that, just to make sure the incoming students have a certain level of aptitude. To just base the lottery on a GPA seems crazy to me. They don't have to make it some super secret test. Just tell people what to expect. Then everyone can prepare if they want.[/quote]
