[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks OP. Nice to see one positive post here, bravo ! Appreciate you time. I have a similar question as PP. Looking forward to your response. My DC will be taking Algebra 1 in 8th grade. We are moving from NJ. Over here AAP /GT program is very different and only 20% of the kids in AAP are offered Algebra 1 in 7th grade. We aren’t in a rush. My son did AOPS program for Algebra 1 privately and he found out it ok. [/quote] OP here: If you take Algebra 1 in 8th grade, the math portion of the TJ admission test (Quant Q) might be a little more difficult since it concerns some Algebra topics. I know that when I took it, many of the questions flew over my head. It doesn't really concern specific topics in Algebra and Geometry, but it's more concept-based problem solving that uses math? I remember thinking that the ACT prep book I looked into didn't really help me very much. I'm sorry that I don't remember much about it, but I am sure that there are resources available on the internet about what the problems are like if you search "Quant Q". If your child is accepted and decides to attend to TJ, they can take Geometry Honors online over the summer before freshman year and enter Stats and Math 3 (Algebra 2) in the fall, or they can enter Stats and Math 1 (1st sem Geometry).[/quote]
