[quote=Anonymous]I believe that if they don't have separate prompts they would have told the applicants not to tell others about the test. TJ has an honor code that requires similar behavior around testing at TJ. I doubt any applicant is going to want to risk their chance at admission by telling people waiting to take the test exactly what is on it. Not only might you get caught (and therefore excluded from final TJ admissions in a very embarrassing way), just the act of helping everyone in Loudoun gain an advantage on the test would be really counterproductive to your own (or your own child's) admission.  And I also believe that if any Loudoun student found out the prompts and told tons of people or posted that information online, TJ admissions would find out and decline to admit that student. What are we left with? Maybe a couple kids tell their best friend something about the test on a top secret basis. That's not enough to harm the overall process in any material way. Or how about this? Kids taking the test pass out misinformation about the test. Frankly in the TJ pool, which includes a high population of hyper competitive families, I would suspect that is equally likely (but also equally likely to cause admissions to be cranky with anyone doing that).
