[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wierd they couldn’t figure out new questions every year? [/quote]They did. The notion that the problems seen at Curie were the exact same as those asked in future admissions test is false. "Buying the answers" really means "buying [i]past[/i] questions and answers".

Personally, I think the solution would have been to publicly release past exams to reduce the benefit of places like Curies[/quote]

No, it's not that kind of test.  The solution was to scrap it and change to a different type of test.  Which they did.  Problem solved.  People complain, but people complain about everything.[/quote]
Your BS story has been sending more traffic towards Curie, and demand for math and science enrichment has grown multifold after the test was scrapped.  Do you work for Curie?[/quote]

If people want to send their children to a cram school associated with that behavior, that's on them.

The changes made to the admissions process have successfully racheted down the math class arms race.  Thankfully.[/quote]
Cram and jam, it is!
Advanced post AP/DE Math classes are still offered at TJ, and mostly taken by advanced math students entering with Geometry or Algebra 2 credits. The big shift that occurred along with admissions change is more Algebra 1 kids needing remedial math are being admitted, which makes it quite challenging for these students to go past the bare minimum AP Calc AB.  So you can say, the math path for these bottom kids has been ratcheted down.

Curie's 8th grade full year curriculum includes not just algebra2 but also trig.  [/quote]
