[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Huge chances". As someone who just took the test, I break down in tears every day because of that math section. So many of my friends have had mental breakdowns in class because of that test. If this is the math we're going to be doing in TJ, I feel I'll hate my 4 years there.[/quote]

I have a kid at TJ and my other kid is applying this year.  And I am not trying to be snarky. But the test portion of TJ entrance is a low bar.  It is meant to screen out kids who cannot handle the academics at TJ. If you can’t make it through the test— without prepping— than you would have a miserable TJ experience.  And if you are having a mental breakdown over the test, you should withdraw your application.  TJ Math is one over your head test at another.  The average grade on the first Math 4 Test this year?  61.  No curve.  If you can’t handle classes that work like this without a breakdown, you will probably do better at your base school. [/quote]
