This course prepares seventh and eighth grade academic achievers for the competitive test that qualifies them to enter the Bergen County Academies that is considered one of the best high schools in the USA, or New York City\'s Specialized High Schools such as the Bronx High School of Science, Brooklyn Technical High School, and Stuyvesant High School, among others.

The course covers all the math topics and tricks students will need to know for the test. Emphasis throughout the course is given to solving problems without using a calculator because the use of calculators is not allowed on the Bergen Academies admission test.

The course forms a learning continuum that explores strategies specific to competitive mathematics in depth and breadth. The problem selection emphasizes comprehension, critical thinking, observation, and avoiding repetitive and mechanical procedures. Explanations and discussions focus on both reasoning and execution.

Some of the most dreaded categories of problems are thoroughly represented: mixtures, rates, and problems that engage comprehension. Mixture problems are among the problems that are underrepresented in a common school curricular while being some of the more challenging word problems on the admission tests.

As the assessments, students will take the full length BCA math practice tests that are identical in level and format to the actual BCA practice tests.
