[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And it turns out the kids there aren't even elite for the most part they simply purchased many expensive prep lessons where they were coached and given answers. So I have to agree with the PP.[/quote]

They also mostly had straight As with a near 4.0 GPA average. Test prep was a part of it, and there is some privilege that was necessary for that.

But they were also near universally good and hardworking students. Test prep alone wouldn’t get you into TJ. Stop with the strawman.

That test prep is the real difference maker is such a myth.  Brilliant, hard-working kids get in to TJ.  Average kids that take prep classes do not.  That has always been the case until this year.  [/quote]

Except when the fakes make it clear that it is the difference-maker. Curie alone accounts for over 30% of those who got admitted and that's just one place. This whole thread was about people buying the answers. All the evidence indicates otherwise and the majority of parents whose kids are getting in seem to agree or they wouldn't be spending so much on tutors, aops, rsm and test prep.[/quote]

No one had the answers.  "All evidence" you just made up is what you are relying on.  In the TJ lawsuit, FCPS didn't assert there was any cheating.  If there was any chance this alleged cheating was true FCPS would be pursuing it.  This is just more sour grapes from parents like you trying to feel better about the fact your darling Larlo didn't doing well enough on the test to get to the semi-final round.  By your logic, the SAT scores for the class of 2024 will be the lowest ever since they aren't that bright and they won't be able to buy the answers to the SAT.    [/quote]

There are over 6k comments on reditt with kids discussing Saturday's SAT exam questions. [/quote]

And those same questions will not be on the next SAT so does you no good.  You are basically saying buying an SAT prep book is "buying the test."  Go ahead and buy your Larlo an SAT prep book from Barron's and see if it gets them into Harvard.  lol[/quote]
