[quote=Anonymous][quote][quote=Anonymous]My neighbor who teaches at TJ says that students there have told her that test prep places will pay them for memorizing questions from tests and then writing them down to give to the tutors there. The test prep place has test question banks that they use when tutoring TJ kids.

I don’t know if the parents know that this goes on.

The old tests thing is on the teacher not the student. Universities have old exams at the tutoring centers that everyone can buy and the professors maybe occasionally reuse a question or 2 out of say 80. Every kid with an older sibling has access to old tests. Should be for all to see as just an idea of what the most important material is.[/quote]

It’s not really the same because the kids are specifically told not to talk about questions and the tests are not sent home. So older siblings do not have these particular tests lying around. Also, TJ has an honor code, so kids who “sell” their memorized test questions to test prep businesses are violating the code they have agreed to abide by if they get caught.

My friend knew about this happening because kids have been caught and have had consequences for doing this. My friend did not share any specifics about these situations with me, just the general idea that this is one way that kids cheat.
