If you're reading this, comment down below what was your SAT Score!
The SAT is honestly more of an English test than a math test even for Americans.
literally 1% get 100/100 what r u talking about
@@shinigami1176only difference is that it's all together and it's full of trick questions and formulas left and right there is a reason why the Math part is at the end of the test not the start. And if you've taken it you'll know the comment isn't wrong the hardest parts are the Reading and Writing section
@@shinigami1176 He is talking about how the English used in the test is confusing even for native speakers which makes it an "English Test".
lol wrong, average American score in even SAT math section is pretty horrendous. 521/800 lol
Its half and half. But i would say the wording is tricky rather than english heavy
Dang.. now imagine how much more easy this test would be if he wasn’t being interviewed throughout the exam and it was written in Japanese
He didn't even use a calculator
@@abondonedchildrenfor the regular SAT, you really don’t need one. There’s no complicated calculus, it’s mostly like knowledge checks. The numbers they use tend to be pretty easy, they’re testing your basic knowledge and understanding.
I don't think he has trouble reading in english
wouldn't have been easier, just saved him more time
@@Bv-yl5dg "It was quite an english test for me"
The reason he is able to study so well is because he thinks of studying as a game and enjoys it as much as he can.
I think so too.
kinda same feeling I get whenever I study I get excited and feels challenged due to its difficulty for me to understand and once I am able to understand it completely and answer it well it feels very good
but once I'm done studying or answering certain questions I go back to my usual habit of being too distracted with many stuff like gaming and many more that after a week or a few days or so I almost forgot what certain parts of it did I forget once I return studying

😢Ephesians 6:10-18 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless.

Bro I'll be honest questions showed in the video are straight up lame tbh . Just basics and logic is enough to solve those indian 8th or 9th grader would solve these questions half asleep 😂😂.
Not even kidding read all the questions in the video shiit seems like practice problems to solve after 1st lesson on the topic .......

I grew up in Japan and I took the SAT and honestly it was ridiculously easy. This does not mean that I am smart. For sure, if you were to ask any junior high school student in Japan to solve the SAT, especially its math, at least 90% of them would get a perfect score. I have heard many stories of kids who were always at the bottom of their grade in Japanese schools and were ridiculed by everyone, but then went abroad to study and were treated like geniuses there, and at least as far as the SAT is concerned, it seems to be true.
SATって、セクション1・2で差がつく試験なのですか？セクション3・4の数学は満点前提で。
いくら何でも、中堅以上の大学を目指す米国の生徒が、このレベルの数学で満点を逃すとは思えないのですが。
それとも重要なのは調査書や推薦状で、SATは形式的に受けるだけですか？
@@aa-yb1ptIf you want admission into a us University, you should be all rounded. I am applying to it but i do not have any awards and extra curriculars. Letter of recommendation plays a key role in admission process and so do your essays. SAT is optional now anyways so i am not attempting it. To be honest, i don't have any hope getting into a us uni but i am trying my best.
@@aa-yb1pt I’m an American and a high school student currently right now and one thing I can tell you is people don’t like to study or take anything seriously here, so if you went to Highschool in America I’m pretty sure you’d understand why a lot of people fail on many things 😅
I looked at a few SAT tests and their math sections are surprisingly easy, reading questions seems to be rather hard compared to math sections but even though my English isn't that great most questions seemed easier than the reading questions in Turkish university exams. For my understanding, it seems like SAT is not too important for colleges in America when applying and they rather want you to take AP exams and do well on extracurricular activities while in high school. Wish I was a student in USA or Western Europe
Uh no they would not. 90% of Japanese middle schoolers will not score perfectly on the SAT.
Just to be clear. The SAT is meant to be on a middle school/9th grade level. You are supposed to have encountered all the material you need to know to answer all the questions by 10th grade.
even the GRE is cake n the bar exam in Japan are miles beyond the US
Don't think that's true. 9th/10th grade maybe, but I've encountered questions beyond that level.
If that's true, it's strange that only 1% get 100%. I would expect the bell curve for this test to be very heavily skewed towards max marks.
you assume most of the people are smart and educated in America@@Nil-js4bf
its less than 1%, approximately 0.07% get a perfect score@@Nil-js4bf
its crazy to hear the difference of standards im not ashamed to admit i thought the SAT was pretty difficult and not really working with math in my daily life it would probably still be difficult if not more difficult for me now - goes to show that you need to advocate for your own education and work hard in school recently i wish i had applied myself more in math despite living comfortably without it - as a personal goal i think its good to always strive for better results against your past self this reignites a desire to study mathematics more lol

This guy is one of a kind. If you’re enrolled to Tokyo University Natural Science 3, which is a guarantee program for enrolling to Tokyo University med school, you are already the top 0.001% students in Japan. Students that enrolled to Tokyo University are already the top 1% elites crops and even among them the students that enrolled to this Tokyo Uni Natural Science 3 are called as “Aliens”, because it’s hard to imagine if they’re still the same human with the rest of us, and this guy right here is the “Alien of the alien” with medical license from Tokyo Uni, Public accountant license, and lawyer license. Unbelievable, just amazing 🤯
It's amazing how normal, easy going, and charming he is as somebody this smart. They are usually way more awkward socially.
Yeah they're "alien" because the rest are incompetent.
I kinda disagree.
I'm European. Out of circumstances I'd like not to disclose, I never made it through the high school.
There is a free test online if you can enter a university in Japan.
It was not a big deal tho.
The only problem I'd find difficult is the way japanese students are taught in high schools - don't use your brain, just remember a lot, and I mean A LOT of stuff only to pass the tests.

ACT/SAT math is really pretty straightforward. The problem is that, like most things, they must be refreshed when unused. Most get by during their daily life with just simple additions, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Some fractions here and there. If you aren't a math wiz that is constantly studying the subject, your literacy on the subject will become rusty. Those with an excellent memory will have a better chance of success on the exams since the American study/educational culture is less intense than in countries such as Korea, China, and Japan. Many individuals don't study for these exams and wing it with their initial compacity. I remember taking the exams for the first time and not seeing some concepts for years. Low scores are mainly an effort and motivational problem. American students don't feel the familial and social pressure of taking these exams on a large scale. One of the biggest reasons it is easier to get into university here in the States is due to the number of options outside of Tier 1 and Tier 2 colleges. Another is the financial status of Americans being better.
Looking at SAT questions after having gone to university and struggling through topics like calculus 3, diffeq, linear, etc., I agree when he says "these questions could be done by middle schoolers" or "high schoolers" because yeah. . . They are pretty easy if you just read and understand what they're 'expressing'.
Yeah seems like the test is more about understanding the question and knowing what you’re reading rather than actually solving the problem
That is why it is called the SAT. It tests aptitude lol the scholastics aptitude test. ACT is a bit more challenging. And use more for IVY League schools. Though it could have changed here recently.
Approximately 0.07% get a perfect score :) id like to see you try
@@KIA-gc7hy so do students in America. You just have to take the classes.
@@warguy6474what is the osu guy doing here
I had the same reaction to the 1st math portion as an avg American student tho. I literally panicked thinking I was taking the wrong test because when you’re in calculus & get hit with the SAT algebra 1 stuff its just….unsettling
That is the problem of US education system, the variability between the best and the average students are just far too great
its bc the "average" american ends high school with pre calculus. or at least thats what the typical course path is. Thats why they only test up to pre calc. they dont touch ap calc or calculus at all
@@parky7417 jeez! I took precal H junior yr but felt a bit behind because half my friends took it as *freshman* ☠️ by senior year they literally ran out of AP calcs to take so they just tacked on AP stats fhfufyegb
But I don’t think the SAT actually hits precal-it was mostly algebra 1, geometry, and some logic/word problem Qs
@@Martin-iw1llYou should see how high the Japanese scoobycide rate is.
@@MaddieFishblob bro precalc in freshman year is crazy and when the tf did your friends finish alg, 1 geometry, and alg 2
The hardest part of the test is the wording, it’s all stuff we’ve already learned, but they word it in a way that confuses you. Even for the math section.
I was really curious to see him take the ENEM, which is basically the Brazilian "SAT".
There are two days of tests, both with 90 questions and an average of 4 hours to solve them. It would be quite interesting, but it's entirely in Portuguese.
The first test is done in the maximum time of 5:30 hours and the second is in the maximum time of 5 hours. It is very tiresome
This is so inspiring!😭
5:45 are we gonna ignore how clean that pen flip was
🖋️ is his friend
its easy will only take a few hours to master
I got a perfect SAT score at 11th grade, at the same time I got 15/45 in the college entrance trainee exam on that year (I can do the exam, it just doesnt count for anything). The SATs are easier then a lot of my high school tests and exams
It is a very outdated system for sure
8:50 interesting. That was all covered in public highschool here in Canada. We even had AP calculus.
I think in is on the way out in USA and Canada (AP classes)

The SAT isn’t the main focus of the college admissions. Although a high score is required for prestigious universities, the other colleges mostly want to see extracurriculars, a meaningful college essay, and letters of recommendation. And even for the prestigious universities, a high SAT score isn’t enough
Being smart is not just knowledge but making the right decision at the right time. Like watching this video when I should be sleeping is being dumb
so true my brother
I'm a Japanese who graduated from a university in the West. I have to say there are pros and cons on both the western and asian educational system. The Western educational system has more strength in presentation, discussion and critical thinking whereas Japan or east Asia focuses on solely solving "academic questions". I gotta say the top students are not very different but Asian system makes you put more "hours" which I think is an excessive amount and unnecessary for the most students.
100% agreed. Rigorous problem solving stifles creativity
I’ve always felt the US system has a nice balance. People can trod along and get a basic, functional education if their ambitions don’t lay in academically challenging fields, or people have the resources to push themselves for the best. Like you said, there isn’t a difference between the top students. Any top student in the US would say exactly what he did about the difficulty of the exam (and the video giving the percentage who get a 1600 is very misleading as that includes the 2 English sections. It’s closer to 2-3% getting an 800 in math, with many more hovering in the 750 range.)
I’m at a top college in the US and I feel like I’m not just having academics shoved down my throat. I get to read and discuss ancient literature, learn about other cultures, etc. I’d hate to be in the environment that they have in Japan personally.
Exactly I know so many people who are great at math and functional thinking but lack creativity or critical thinking because all they learned was how to solve math problems and tricking for solving those problems
Same in indo
Well that's why the US is having problems solving basic common sense questions. 😅
This is amazing!

That was very entertaining to see how he approaches each question. I aspire to be like him.
I got a perfect score on the math section of the SAT, here is my take - it isn't necessarily a test of difficulty, as it only covers up to algebra 2 and some very basic concepts of pre calc (radians, basic trig functions). It's meant to be a test of endurance. It's a 4 hour long test, and you are taking the math section right after a 1 and a half hour difficult reading and writing section. At this point, you are already fatigued (also you're taking the exam at 7am). Then you have to take a something like 70 or 80 question math exam. At that point, you are so tired you will make silly mistakes on the easiest problems.
you fr have to use the 15 min breaks to clear your mind completely or you will get the simplest questions wrong
The total duration of the university entrance exams in Japan is 17 hours and 30 minutes, conducted over four days.
@@m.m2922 wasn't trying to say this is easier than Japan - I still agree that this easy compared to other countries exams, but just saying that it is not as easy as just a few algebra 2 problems
@@nikplaysgames4734 Yeah as someone who got 790 (one problem wrong rip) in math it's really just reading comprehension to make sure you don't make stupid mistakes. By the end of it, you should also review your answers if you can, although I didn't since as you said it's just tiring.
Four hours isn't long enough to be considered an endurance test lol.

the hard part of SAT is the english part with writing and grammar instead of math, which is pretty easy.High achieving y11s should be aiming for aroung 780-800 out of 800 for math part.
That was the SAT 10 practice test from college board SAT official book. If I’m being completely honest I took it (I’m an American) and I got an 790/800 with no prep at all. That test is simply very easy in my opinion also. So this isn’t an accurate way to judge and he should try solving actual hard SAT problems. I’m sure he can do them but it would be much better than doing this super easy test.
But the math isnt even the hard part in the SAT since I think people dont know, but most of it is trick questions or formulas forcing you to think more on reading the question. The challenging parts are the Reading and more so on the Writing parts. But it was still cool to see someone like him solve the math.
Now I know where the CSE took inspiration. Here in Philippines, it's the same. 30/160 questions are math related while the rests is just reading comprehension.
Multiple choice is so easy. We in switzerland don't have them at all. We have to fully write all the answers in 2-3 sentences.
@waveril5167 Well that's because they are making the students think it's harder just because they write 2-3 sentences for each question, but we all know it's gonna be repeating and unnecessary to write " I would have to say that the answer is going to be ____ because when we ______ we can find out that etc." You see what I mean it becomes bland and not engaging as they keep repeating the same sentences for answers most of the time. But believe it or not the SAT does have a essay portion which people rarely do since you know its optional and they know people are gonna keep doing runons especially higherschool level so why would you need to write unnecessary things when they can just make the questions tricky so you HAVE to critical think about it second guessing yourself and tbf makes it more fun and potentially could be harder if the answer you got was on the multiple or not.
But yeah Switzerland does have good schooling though since you and the teachers get more freedom to do your own things/activities definitely better for the students over there.
And I just remembered I'm pretty sure all private/charter schools are like that that's why the "smarter" students mostly come from those schools and if you at the way the teachers teach it's because they have more freedom to do their own activities. Idk how I got here but I'm done talking and no this didn't take long to write probably like 4 minutes thinking and writing as I go and this is basically what runon feels like.
It's been ages since I have taking it SAT/ACT. Indiana the ACT is valued more than SAT
@jame254 In the US the ACT is valued more everywhere lmao the SAT is like I said critical thinking with the trick questions but the ACT is more knowledge wise and way more questions that's why it takes so much hours to complete it (I forgot how many hours don't wanna) search)

I didn't listen and I saw the formula then knew what to do, used in stuff like population growth rate and predictin' growth rate
For the general SAT You are expected to have a first go around 10 th grade which is basically freshman high school in east Asian countries.
There is no reason to put more advanced questions.
The SAT subject tests are more geared towards high school level subjects. On top of that there are a lot of accelerated programs student can take. I have seen folks in my university years entering with half the required credit to graduate. Meaning if they want to they can probably speed run college in a year or so due to their high school prep.
Also compared to a lot of Asian countries, bachelors degree is not the end goal. Of the three law, medical, and accounting degree mentioned only accounting is widely offered at the bachelor level in the US.
Comparing the purpose of entrance exam for Japan to LSAT and MCAT might make slightly more sense.

Surely, this has to be the lowest level maths exam America has. I'm googling it now and am shocked that most US high schools don't even teach calculus until college. Something is broken in the education system there. Talented students would be better off self learning online.
The SAT is designed so that people can take in their third year and if calculus is taught at all it's usually to seniors or 4th years. For example, I went to a pretty good high school by American standards, even then it was rare to see 3rd years in calculus, at best you may see some in pre-calculus.
it probably bc every job does not need calculus so u don't have to take it until college when ur on that track of ur job
The SAT math exam is meant to be a general exam for all students . Putting calculus questions on there would give many students a big disadvantage .
Talented students take AP calculus or dual enrollment math by the end of their HS
Many highschoolers in the US take Calculus and further into the math tree if they take extra classes and AP classes. It's just that you don't quite need calculus for most jobs outside of school.
I mean canadas worse but I don’t think it matters all that much.
It makes perfect sense that the sat is not as hard as the university entrance exams because most asian countries give these exams out shortly before or after graduation. The sat is meant to be taken in your junior year of high school at the latest.
SAT is more about english test for us Russian speaking countries.
SAT math we study in middle school like grade 7 and usually we got 700+ in math every time, but english is very hard 500+ usually
Ngl as someone from Germany, this test is way easier than any Abitur Math Exam (our equivalent to high school). Based on the questions shown in the video I would definitley score at least 95/100. As a finished computer science student I am obviously way to over qualified for the exam, but I am still sure our Abitur exams were way harder.
fr das wär so free
Less than 0.05% score perfect
I have no idea what’s the point but… getting full SAT score is literally the bare minimum point to get into some of the top college in international Thai college(minimum meaning that if you didn’t get 100% you probably won’t get in). Like you don’t even have to be the best in the country to do it just higher than average can already get a perfect score
Love this!
the education system of different places amaze me
Great video and he's truly the best in Japan
I think it would've been interesting to watch him take the Reading and Writing segment of the SAT as well.
彼はそれにおいても完璧です
You do have to consider that the questions on the SAT are usually middle school/9th grade level as it is usually taken halfway through highschool in 10th/11th grade. Also, many students take classes in math multiple years ahead of the intended pathways. Those who take the SAT in the US who are in those higher level classes usually also find that the SAT is more easy than expected because they are taking courses like Calculus when the test is based in Algebra 1 standards. Really, it isn’t so crazy that he says middle school students could solve most of this because it really is true even in the US.
Also, colleges do not consider the SAT as the most important thing when selecting students. Other factors like GPA, extracurriculars and clubs, family situations, essays, and more are much more important. One 1600 on the SAT won’t be what gets you into a good college.
It’s just difference from The US to Japan. We appreciate more on paper test while you guys require various activities to enrol in universities.
Entrance exams like the JEE Advanced(which we have here in India) would -pretty much make the SATs look like an elementary math test.The English section is much tougher tbf.Not a single person has had a perfect score in the JEE advd exam and this includes Inpho,Incho, and IMO medallists, as well as people who've gone on to study in the likes of MIT and Stanford.I could score a perfect 800 in SAT Math if I write it considering I've seen many of the questions and the concepts used are not that advanced.I would be concerned about the English section though.
Take him through jee advance exam of india . It would be fun to see Japan's smartest man vs india one of the toughest exam .
Usually 60/100 is considered "safe" for me, this guy's "safe" is 100/100. 😅

I am Japanese.
since childhood, Japanese people have been taught from an early age that it is important to get a high score on a test.
But I don't think it's good to judge everything by test scores.
So I respect the fact that they value not only test scores but also evaluation of parts like in the United States
Exactly. In the US, top universities care little about a perfect SAT, it is not viewed as very impressive. They care much more about your accomplishments outside the tests
Woah, you actually got him to appear on your channel w Thought it was clickbait.
10:54 we would consider 100/100 as highly successful meanwhile his 100/100 is just a "safe " 😂
Pls make him do jee advance paper of 2016 plsss btw love your content❤
I think he'll do great on jee and neet.
I like how he’s like it took me 8 months and normally it’s like 3 years. I’m like 😳
The average age of successful applicants for the bar examination is usually between 28 and 29 years old
I think it's pretty good to pass the bar exam in three years
@BullLRED Yes I understand that I’m saying because he said it took him the longest and it’s normally done in like 3 years when he did it in 8 months like 😳
That's right!
If you pass at the age of 28-29 on average
If you enter university at the age of 18, it will take about 10 years!
Moreover, in his case, he is studying various studies such as quiz shows at the same time while doing super hard study at medical school!😂
5:43, the pencil flip :D
相変わらず喋りながら解いて満点取れるのすごいな
i can say, as a senior in highschool a lot of this was a blur. the way we teach math specifically is jumbled, and many things are lost. i went from pre algebra straight to geometry/trig and then algebra 2 and now adv algebra. i can say i have retained nothing but mere basics. I can only do scenario applied math.
Very interesting! I remembered I struggled with SAT as a non-native English speaker.
Even as a native English speaker some of these questions are worded poorly.

100/100 is actually wild even for a genius like him.
I tutor students in the United States in mathematics. With few exceptions, they don't know much, even the "advanced" ones. It's shocking. The SAT is not a difficult test. Before 1994, the exam was more g-loaded, i.e., it correlated more strongly with IQ. It was a bit more difficult to prepare fully for the exam. Now I do test prep, and have increased the scores of several SAT test-takers by 300 points total. In short, it's a more coachable exam. Being highly educated will automatically increase your score on both sections -math and verbal - of the exam. A friend sat for the exam at age 60 and had an aggregate score of 1460, with 800 on the Verbal portion of the exam. I took it at age 65 and scored a perfect 1600, and never felt pressed in the least. I did it because I wanted to employ the prep system I teach students who will take the SAT, to see how I might improve my product. Needless to say, my system works well, but not as well for others perhaps as it did for me. The reason? I know a lot more than the students do; I have a more nuanced brain. And honestly, I'm not depending on my score to get me into a top university. I did that already, so I'm immune to pressures that can overwhelm them.
This guy is definitely an avid poster of r/cognitivetesting.
Imagine you are this guy's cousin 🤣 BTW, he is amazing.
The most interesting thing was to see the questions themselves. They were really very easy. Nothing you couldn't solve within a few seconds each.
Cool video. I will say that the math portion of the SAT is by far the easiest part. Myself and many of my friends all got 800s on this section. The reading and writing are much more difficult to get a perfect score on, and I would have enjoyed watching him struggle with those portions.
I’m most impressed by Kono-san’s patience while incessantly receiving annoying interruptions during the test.
I guess he doesn’t even get annoyed by questions. Taking test is as easy as eating while watching TV for him
Remember that Math is only one part of the SATs. It might have changed by now, but I originally took my SAT in 2015 and I remember a lot of the questions being straight up logic/IQ questions, where the wording was designed to trick you. It would be stuff like, “if this thing is true, then what can you infer about that thing?” My math score was the highest because a lot of the trick questions were just straight up confusing on purpose.
I would like to encourage people overseas to take the Common Test, which all Japanese high school students take, and try it once. Especially, Math IA in 2021 and Biology in 2023 are very difficult.
Try Math 1A in 2022 within 70 minutes😊
The fact that it felt like he was talking more to the interviewer than taking the test is craaazy
Multiple people from my graduating class got perfect scores. One got a full ride to Yale and dropped out because he got hired after selling some program for like a million dollars, one went to MIT and works for a hedge fund doing who knows what. There was a stoner who is still in his math post doc, same university as me, never showed up to class but aced every test, very annoying, also got a perfect score.
Same class had the national spelling bee champion, a two time national academic decathlon winner, a math league participant that made it to the international level (not the stoner), one of the best American gamers in original StarCraft....
I had >4.0 and I think I was ranked below 100. And I was C- on iccup.
i could easily get 100 on the test (non american) in the vid but i am an average college student. it looks way too easy
The math portion isnt bad as long as you know that the questions can be intentionally misleading, but some kids don't make it to precalculus (which for us is like trigonometry combined with a sequel to algebra 2 and some sequences/series) so they do not do well.
The english portion is just fucked though. Im a native speaker, I couldnt get above a 700 on that section (3 sections worth 800 but writing section sucked so bad that most colleges ignore it) and I took it 3 times lol. I HATE questions like "what is the best way to do this thing" because that's automatically a matter of opinion. @@slinger7529
@@slinger7529it's a exam meant to test your reading skills as well as time management. The math part is the easiest part for everyone
I'm kind of shocked at how easy these questions are
it is supposed to be easy american students learn this in middle school as well lol, we do multivariable, linear, calculus, differentials in high school
^ ^ this right here. people thinks american education is bad but theres also a factor that some people in america dont give two shits about their score for one thing. in asian countries ik damn well its strictly ruled that they have to study and try their best to do well on their entrance exams, which is diff from a standardized test. Also in Asia their tests mean everythig while in america sat is only 1/4 or 1/3 of whats important.
Also ppl who dont go to america dont understand that we all learned all the SAT content (usually) in middle school and are learning shit like pre calc at minimum to more advanced math like multi and calculus, ap physics etc. But thats only on average. some schools like harker high school have crazy ass people who already know calculus by freshmen year and take multi in like sophomore year@@anishyarra3618
@@anishyarra3618 depends on the local school system, growing up my highschool didn’t offer calculus lmao we was poor asf
We had All and my school was poor as dirt.

I'm not the smartest man in Japan or anywhere, but looking at the questions I think I can get a perfect SAT Math score too. In where I live, you get to see this kind of easy and straightforward questions only in elementary school. The subjects include middle school topics as well, but it seems in SAT they ask the most basic question from a topic, like the preliminary questions you see on the first page of a subject.
For CS, you need to be among top 0.01% for top universities and about 0.3% for decent universities in the university entrance examination. I'd have to say you guys live academic life in easy mode in the US.
true story
Math is the easiest part of the SAT. The English part is much harder, plus the only real problem would be time management as in some sections you only get from 1-2 minutes per question
As an American, I am an above average student, not incredible, but slightly above average. I got a 1540 on the SAT and my parents were ecstatic, I was pretty proud of my self, it was very very easy.
i can understand from his way of speaking how much of a tensi he is
the math section is maximum algebra 2 and geometry, which a majority of American students complete before 11th grade, but i know a lot of people (including me) who finished those classes before 7th or 8th grade. considering there is less questions overall on the math, it is fairly easy. but reading is a whole different matter. i know people who can get perfect scores on math in half the time allotted but can't even get a 75% on the reading/writing portion. I am so lucky that the SAT is going digital in 2024, which is when I will have to officially take it, because the practice versions of the test are super easy and are a lot easier to comprehend because the texts overall are much shorter.
Also you should ask him to attempt the reading portion!! The 1600 scale includes the reading, writing/grammar, math w/o calc and math w/ calc. So many more students get perfect scores on math portions than they do on the reading/grammar portions.
The SAT has no hard problems, it's the time that gets you usually. It's not enough to solve the problems, you have to do it in the time limit, which is a pretty big ask for highschoolers
The SAT is easy, but it’s the pressure that everyone puts on the students that makes it more difficult. That’s why sometimes people get a bad score because of the pressure, as well as the time limit. I had extra time accommodations so it was easy for me, but for someone who doesn’t have that time, they’ll be in a lot of pressure and are more likely to get a lower score
