[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Changes to admission test/process for this year and next year:

- This year, group which includes TJ teachers, admissions staff, and math instructional personnel has been working with Pearson to increase the rigor of the test to include more problem solving on the test.

- This year there will be only one essay question.

- This year, there will be no change in the SIS other than it becomes one component of the holistic review process.

- This year, the one essay will be a component in the holistic review process and will not have a specific weight.

- Open-ended questions will not be a part of the test this year, but it may be in the future.

- Next year or thereafter: An early admission processes could look for extraordinary" students who have demonstrated extraordinary ability and achievement in STEM areas, far beyond their peers. There should be a variety of ways, including AMC, by which a student can demonstrate extraordinary ability and achievement in STEM.[/quote]

A more detailed document is currently being prepared by
Dr. Breeden and will be released to the public soon, including an appeals process.
