So my daughter is in 8th grade and we've been grinding for the TJHSST admissions exam since September. She's shooting for a 90+ on the math section and honestly the prep has been way more intense than I expected. We bought a couple of books but they felt pretty generic — not really tailored to TJ's specific problem styles.
A friend from our school's parent group mentioned using online TJHSST practice tests and that made a huge difference for her kid last cycle. We've been doing 2-3 timed sessions per week now, and I feel like her problem-solving speed has improved a lot. Still struggling with the math reasoning and spatial problems though. Does anyone have a solid study guide recommendation that actually covers the technical essay portion too? That section feels like a wildcard.
Also curious — how many weeks out did people start serious prep? We're about 10 weeks away and I'm second-guessing whether that's enough time given how competitive the applicant pool is.
