[quote=Anonymous][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]
Right but if people understood the test strategies for quantitative reasoning because they studied with similar materials, isn’t that just studying? I mean everyone can study the basic math for the SAT,  but very few get perfect math. I don’t understand why they couldn’t move away from the quant q or change how they assess the results. A few essays much worse than adjusting the previous testing approach.

Could have kept the quant testing approach and maybe adjusted or normd it and added the 1.5% and experience factors. Why not both?

So when you keep the test and apply the 1.5% approach, you can foia the test results and the obvious disparity in test results from different schools would be come apparent.  They cannot keep rogirous testing and achieve their goals.[/quote]

Much like TO, the poor academic results will be/are fairly obvious and TJ will probably figure out a way to reintroduce rigor into selection. [/quote]

Only if their ranking drops deeper and the attrition rate rises further. They already had to open Algebra review sessions to help those falling behind. The principal now talks with every freshman who wants to drop out. Just give it a bit.[/quote]
