[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. While I appreciate the advice from early elementary on, my kid is a rising 8th grader who has always done very well academically, hence the interest in TJ.

I’m specifically looking for info on whether or not the TJ admissions test is something the majority of students prep for. We’re at a highly competitive MS, so I know many do, but I wasn’t sure if this is a test that students can go in cold and still do well, or if it is recommended/expected that students prep.

From some of these responses, It sounds like DC should spend time thinking about the essays, and google sample questions so they can work on timing. DC has always done fine on timed tests so I’m not overly concerned on that front. Thanks for the input. [/quote]

Yes, students can definitely prep for the essays.  You can go the prep program route or just prepare on your own.  All of the students that I know who were accepted to TJ prepared for the essays ahead of time.  It is good to have at least a general idea of something to write about that relates to the portrait of a graduate skills.

Makes no sense to prep for essay alone when the preparation should be stem subjects all through middle school to survive at TJ. [/quote]
