[quote=Anonymous]A standardized test for TJ that has a cutoff of say 80% correct shouldn’t be a problem for anyone who is TJ material. The test would use Algebra/Science that students learned so far in 8th grade or earlier years. Even if some kids have to “prep” like crazy to get the 70% correct, it would still weed out any kid that doesn’t have the base knowledge required for an advanced stem high school. They could use a test to get to the 2nd round and then not include test scores in the applicants “packet” that is holistically reviewed. This would at least prevent kids that are not at all prepared for this kind of academic environment. Nobody can argue that the top 1.5% of students from each middle school couldn’t pass a test with 80% correct.[/quote]
