[quote=Anonymous][quote][quote]A few years ago, my family knew nothing about TJ. We read all the information on the TJ website, our child applied and was accepted. Everything you need to know is right there on the website- plus, you and your child can go to open houses when they have them. [/quote]

Did your child study in advance? If so, what are the tips to get in? Are there any TJ prep classes that are open and currently take students at this time?[/quote]

OP, you asked this question on your other thread, and I’m answering here.

My child did not do any outside “studying”/prep for TJ. He studied for his regular school classes and did extremely well. He liked to read a lot from an early age- mostly fiction, not exclusively science-related- so he was a pretty good writer, which I believe helped him to express himself better in the writing required in the process.

He was also very involved in time consuming sports, so I think that kept him healthy and helped him to use his time wisely.

I would suggest that your child do as well as she can in school and also read a lot outside of school. Let her read whatever she likes, but fiction is best for learning good writing skills. I would not bother with prep classes- just a waste of time and money. If she reads a variety of books form many different genres during the time she might have gone to a prep class, she will be far better off.

Best wishes to you and your child!
