[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] - but I will own up to being the person who was first in on the reporting with TJ students acknowledging that their Curie courses had shown them questions that ended up on the Quant-Q exam prior to them sitting for it.

I do not know if this program still exists, but when people talk about the $5K Curie course, what they're referring to is the flagship 16-month TJ Prep program that students would register for going into their 7th grade year. This was an immensely popular course that Curie offered that was[b] buffered by students who had reported back specific questions from when they sat for the Quant-Q exam themselves[/b], despite having signed an agreement not to do so. Curie offers many other less expensive courses, but this was the one that made the most impact with respect to TJ Admissions.

This is a guess, and is not known.[/quote]

It is the only reasonable explanation for how Curie could have shown lengthy, complicated, multi-step word problems to their students in the years after the first time the QQ was administered.

What other possible explanation could there be?[/quote]
 
The more complicated the questions the less likely they got it from students.
Was this a written test? Perhaps they picked up a copy from the testing.
You said how they posted names of admitted students.  This is very common in India.  What else is common there- bribing government officials for test papers.
Maybe they paid someone at the company that makes the test.
Maybe they followed the research papers written about Quant-Q and got problems that way.
Perhaps there were Curie people involved in the creation of the test to begin with.[/quote]
