Read family storiesThe plan
Most families ask us the same thing in December: what should my child be doing right now? This is the answer, week by week.
Your student opens the TJ Prep Flex lessons and guides the day you enroll, practices SPS and PSE prompts, and sends responses in for instructor feedback.
Each class covers what matters most for the SPS and PSE. Afterward, your student takes a timed practice exam at home and gets feedback on it.
In the days before January 9, your student takes the remaining exams, reviews the feedback, and walks in having done the real thing many times.
Four live classes
Every class runs 9:00 to 10:30 AM Eastern on Google Meet, with the link in your welcome email. Mornings leave the rest of the day free for family, travel and that day’s practice exam.
Monday, December 21: class 1, then exam
Wednesday, December 23: class 2, then exam
Monday, December 28: class 3, then exam
Wednesday, December 30: class 4, then exam
The FCPS writing test is Saturday, January 9. Every practice exam stays open through that day.
Data-backed, TJ-alum reviewed
Practice only helps if your student knows what to change. Every response is checked against the largest dataset in TJ admissions, then read by a TJ alum who explains what’s working, what’s missing, and what to try in the next draft.
102,000+ real SPS and PSE practice responses
matched to how those students actually did in TJ admissions. Patterns across that many responses show which choices hold up under a TJ reader and which ones quietly cost points. One reader working alone cannot see that. A dataset alone cannot judge it. Your student gets both.
Every exam in the series comes back scored, with detailed feedback on both the SPS and the PSE. Nine are open by the first class, and the tenth opens Saturday, January 2.
Send in as many SPS and PSE responses from the course prompts as your student writes. Every one comes back with instructor feedback, with no credits to count.
An instructor answers through the course Q&A channel or email, as often as your student needs.
Included: the full TJ Prep Flex course
Video lessons, written guides, quizzes and practice banks deep enough that your student will not run out, open 24/7 from the day you enroll.
900+ practice prompts across TJ’s five current skills
The Student Portrait Sheet asks students to explain who they are through what they have done.
209 math and science prompts, each with a worked solution
The Problem-Solving Essay asks students to work through an unfamiliar math or science problem.
Short quizzes after key lessons show whether an idea actually landed before your student moves on.
