[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]test scores Math: The test numbers are misleading because the test is the same for all applicants whether or not they have completed Algebra I. For students currently enrolled in Algebra I at the time of the test, they have only completed 1/3 of the course. Students in geometry are taking the same test but have completed more material -- Algebra I as well as 1/3 of Geometry. (more than 50% of applicants) If the students grades are very high for all of the classes they have taken thus far, the presumption is that they will take the next level and do as well as they have in the past (TJ has the complete records of past performance).

test scores Verbal: many students are prepped, prepped, and prepped, so they score well on the test, but their actual writing skills are not outstanding.. Other students have mastered writing skills demonstrated in the essays, which count for 25% (?) of the total score.
[b]Or they are published already and that has been noted in their records[/b].[/quote]
