[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your child gets the Math section wrong but do great on the rest of the  prompts, would he or she stand a chance at TJ? Assuming that they have the right grades. [/quote]

That problem leaves open a lot of ways to get it right, so I wouldn’t worry too much if your child approached it differently from others as long as they had a reasonable basis for doing so and can explain how they derived their answer.  After just a few minutes of thinking about it, was able to come up with ways to justify lease A, lease B and neither as answers while focusing only on the financials and not on non-financial considerations like environmentalism.

How would you justify leases 1 and 2?[/quote]

DP, for example I’d justify them by making clear that it’s guaranteed income without any outlay and without any uncertainty due to weather, crop failure or sales price. The money ($15k per acre) not used to generate income can be used elsewhere to generate income. Whoever runs that prep course is failing to help the kids think creatively or understand a range of factors.[/quote]

This seems like a good reason to justify lease 2, but how would you justify lease 1 over lease 2?[/quote]
