[quote=Anonymous]In last Saturday's TJ admission assessment, technical issues happened in several test sites. Some test sites reported lose of internet connectivity, and the assessment has to be paused for half hour, and some test sites the pop up autosave window was causing troubles, and some applicants lost what they have written so they have to retake the assessment. My DS said he wasn't sure if he had all the content saved because he was not able to go to the review steps. The admission office did send out an email later and asked the parents to report the issue if they were experiencing such problem.

My question is, is the admission assessment evaluates the applicants completely equally? For the sites that extended for 30 minutes, this did give the applicants to think about the essay more time, and for those who get interrupted, no body knows that they have written were submitted completely. If TJHSST wants to assess the students, all the students should be given same conditions.

Another question is how the admission evaluate the student's academic standing within school? So students have already finished pre-calculus and even higher, but they are having same GPA as other students, and some might get lower GPA like A- because they did not turn in homework on time. How did the students are being identified as top 1.5% rank? I am sure TJ admission won't know the student well, and now the recommendation letter is not required.   [/quote]
