[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regarding the NDA, does NDA even bind a 14 year old kid taking the tests?  They don't have capacity to sign a contract.  I think the Quant-t's marketing of "not-preppable" is BS.

I think Curie cracked the Quant-t's system.  Plain and simple.  It's not cheating, it's just the Art of Solving Problems (pun intended).

Frankly, life is unfair because affluent families would usually come on top.

But why “crack” a test that is meant to be unpreppable? Unless the goal is to give an advantage to families who can pay for an advantage?

The most fair test situation is to have a test that no one can prep for. Then, every test taker has the same previous knowledge of the test: none. “Cracking” the test and sharing sample questions with kids whose families can pay extra for that information upsets the balance and gives just another of the many advantages that middle and upper class families already have.

“Cracking” the test ruined it for everyone, so now there is no standardized test included in the TJ application process.
