[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suspect Curie has the questions you will see on this year’s test.  Call them.  [/quote]

They probably won't have the questions, but they will be able to show you how to look smarter than you are by telling you how to solve them.[/quote]

Rumor was they did in previous years. At least that was what some people said.[/quote]

TJ students from Curie I've spoken to in those classes (2023 and 24) have agreed that the Quant-Q re-used a few questions from year to year on different forms, and therefore the 2024 Curie students did in fact see exact test questions as part of their signature TJ prep course.

The obvious implication is that some students from Curie's class of 2023 reported back from their exam having memorized some of the questions.[/quote]

These kids have one chance to get into TJ and they spent time memorizing questions.  Wow, that's dedication.[/quote]

They're smart kids. They probably don't need to "spend time" memorizing a question in order to memorize it.[/quote]

I took my and SAT in the 80s when the score scale was different and got a 1500+ and a 175+ on the LSAT in the 90s and I doubt I could recite many questions word for word after the test.
I could give you a very good idea of what sort of questions were asked and what the answers sort of looked like but not exact questions.
I later worked for Kaplan and there were people who took every SAT and LSAT professionally with a specific focus on trying to remember stuff from the test and they didn't remember exact questions.  They remembered question structures and answer templates to help break down the test but these [b]professional test takers[/b] couldn't remember the test questions to any significant degree.  Eidetic memory is almost non-existent in adults and very very rare after the age of 10 or 12.

So I think the notion of a test bank is simply bullsh*t.
I can believe that Curie students had access to question types before others but by the next administration of the test, EVERYONE had that.
Trying to create a test you can't study for seems like a silly way to select for merit when diligence is a factor in merit.[/quote]
