[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]However if they do pass essay writing test, I don't know how you can tell during application process.[/quote]

Is that essay written on the spot, like the SAT, or is it composed at home and handed in as part of the package?

There was a WashPost article about 2 years ago that explained that a number of the TJ kids had difficulty with the English language and could not write well in English.  [/quote]

Starting this year , essay writing is on the spot, no longer take home assignment. 
That's not perfect but should provide some clues.[/quote]

You are confusing the SIS (Student Information Sheet) with the essays. The essays were always written in the examination hall at the same time (or after) the written math and language arts test. The SIS used to be completed at home, but starting this year is also completed in a controlled setting (in an exam hall).

Just shows the level of ignorance on this board that passes off as information.[/quote]
