[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The official requirement is to have completed algebra by 8th grade.[/quote] While this may be the “official” requirement, is the general sense that taking Algebra in 7th increases your chances of getting in?[/quote] I don't think so. But it does improve the experience when you're there.[/quote] For what it's worth, the current admissions test only focuses on algebra level math (no geometry). The geometry kids at our middle school were working to remember the content they had focused on in 7th. More kids who took algebra during 8th were admitted. (Please don't use this as an opportunity to talk about how those kids are "behind" in math or don't deserve it as much). If your kid loves math or is bored only working one year ahead, by all means, accelerate. But I don't know that it helps to accelerate for the sake of accelerating. [/quote]
