[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are free to believe there wasn't a test bank that was used at some prep programs, but there was. Students in the program admitted it. Students admitted to providing the questions for the test bank.

Did anyone buy the test? No.

Did people pay for access to past test questions? Yes.

Was it criminal activity? No

Was it an advantage to the kids who paid to take those classes? Yes.

Is it part of the reason the Quant test was removed? Yes. [/quote]

This. And some TJ students who benefited were the ones who publicized this. [/quote]

The whole concept behind quant Q was fakken stupid and makes me question the intelligence of the entire school board.
The answer to money and prepping isn't to create even more barrier to prepping, the answer is transparency so that prepping is basically free to everyone.  Khan academy has free prep on the PSATs that is pretty good, use the PSATs for admissions. Khan academy also has a lot of stuff on the SHSAT (used by stuyvesant), so we could use something like that.
The problem is that we used to use a modified version of the SHSAT before Quant Q and people did not like the racial make=up of who was getting in and who wasn't[/quote]
