How to Prepare on Your Own for the TJ Test

Roughly, there are four hurdles to tackle to get into TJ.

  1. The multiple-choice TJ exam given in December
  2. Teacher recommendations/Science and math course work/grades .
  3. The Student Information Sheet (SIS)
  4. The timed essay written on the same day as the SIS in January.
