[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The TJ admissions site has sample questions to familiarize kids with the format of the test. [b]It isn't a difficult test for a kid who is bright and works hard in school. [/b]

We were very low key about it at our house and the lack of stress going into the test was definitely a benefit. Sadly, some of the kids who were the most worked up and stressed about the test because they'd been going to special classes for almost two years ended up not being accepted.[/quote] 
I agree.  The key operative here is work hard!  Sounds like prepping ([i]lite[/i] prepping) :D [/quote]

But not the same as test prep.  Looking over a sample test to know the format is not the same as practicing sample tests over and over again. And that is what parents of kids doing a TJ prep class told me they were doing. Hours spent practicing tests and what they thought might be in the tests. And for a lot of those kids, it didn't get them accepted.

Parents were not thrilled to have spent so much money without getting the results they had hoped for. The kids worked and worked and worked, only to not get in, and then the friend who never had to go to those extra classes gets in.  It turns out everything they needed to know had been taught in middle school. Yeah, they weren't happy.
