[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is why SAT/ACT/LSAT/MCAT/GRE/GMAT are ALL preppable.  Claiming one's test 'unpreppable' and accusing those who prep for it as unethical is absurd.

If they want to give low income student an chance to compete, use a preppable test and pay for their prep class.  [/quote]

Yes. Quant Q was a mistake for a variety of reasons. Too many unethical people out there. Instead of leveling the playing field, as intended, it made it worse. [/quote]

It objectively helped for one year and the thought process behind it was solid. The Class of 2022 was significantly more diverse, both racially and socioeconomically, than surrounding years.

But there were too many bad actors at play who rebuilt the old difficulties.

The Quant-Q is an excellent exam that SHOULD be perfect for evaluating the native problem solving skills of students aspiring to TJ. But it becomes not only useless, but counterproductive when students prepare specifically for it.[/quote]

Yup. TJ has become a victim of its’ own success. The more prestigious it seems, the more families will go to great lengths to get their kids admitted.

I think a qualified lottery would eliminate even more of the unhealthy behaviors.
