[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sometimes people say or think they've been given the exact test if they're just very well prepared and have seen questions like that before in other tests.[/quote]

LOL okay Curie rep.

Nice save.[/quote]

ha ha.. this is funny. I don't think it was the entire test. it is possible that there might be few questions that they have practiced from known prior year questions, ACT or similar tests. I just can't believe that TJ test admins leaked the test to one prep center. Considering, most kids who go to this prep center already in AAP, prepare extensively for TJ and still only about quarter of them are qualified for TJ. If test paper is leaked to already smart kids, everyone will score 100% and it will be suspicious right from the start. :) Well, you don't need to take my word but, if the kids did in fact had leaked full test ahead of time, it won't be random ramblings/venting in some FB forum, it would already be a huge scandal. Thing of this magnitude is very difficult to contain, especially when so many kids are involved. Its simple common sense, and I am not sure why it is so difficult to get it and why there has been so much discussion on this topic.

For anyone with good math/engineering background and practiced enough for similar tests, it is quite common to see questions repeated (or same questions with different numbers) from previous years as teachers/professors are quite lazy and will not come up with new questions every year. Also, at this level (7th grade), with limited number of topics to choose from, it is not easy to prepare 100s of unique questions every year. If you are creating a standard placement test like this one, could you really prepare a totally unique test year after year?

eehhh... I think where there is smoke there is fire. [b]There have been too many people coming out and saying that they had the questions to the test.[/b] All the kids who went to that school previously  who potentially gave the test questions to the school should be investigated along with the school and the students who used the questions the following year. All cheaters should be expelled [/quote]

Like how many kids said they had the questions to the test? One or two people repeating same lie does not make it a truth[/quote]

Why would you assume it is a lie? You sound like a PR person for this school.

I imagine there arent tens of people clamoring to admit they are cheaters. One or two bragging about getting away with it, sure. 25% of the class made up of one school. That is hardly a coincidence. Something is there. I hope they investigate. [/quote]
