[quote=Anonymous]The AAP game; AAP is almost a prep class for standardized exams; which gets you into: Algebra(or Pre) in 6th grade which then lines you up for College level Math in HS.

For TJ the harder problems [b]used to[/b] help with the TJ application. The extra writing feedback still gives an edge.

Can you do without? yes. But it's like getting coached and play competitive Basketball starting at age 8 in order to play HS basketball vs doing it on your own.

Even Terence Tao will take time to transition from remedial math to AAP or TJ Math.

If you don't prep (even beyond FCPS) - prepare for an uphill game. One that the kid's determination and the parent's perseverance will be tested.

Oh - if the kid doesn't want to do it; they will be bored in AAP as well.

No - I'm not a striver; My education started a year after I got my college degree. I continued read since then and finally discovered what I was being taught threw a fire hose. So - if kids don't get it now - it's OK. It's how you finish in the long run just not with the ritzy timeline we all dream about.
