questions be like "James coughed, now figure out the orbital velocity of the nucleus inside his third outter germ layer between each one of his mitochondria, in space."
I had a physics course in college that was similar to this. They would allow you to write anything you want on two sheets of paper and use that during the exam. We could literally photocopy the textbook pages onto our notes (very small of course). All the formulas in the world couldn't help you if you didn't know how to apply them.
Just look at the exam in another perspective and you'll see how beautiful and exciting and exhilarating it feels to you. If you think of yourself as the "student" then you'll get anxious for sure because you are merely after scores. Think of yourself as a true scientist, a species on this planet Earth trying to figure out the mysteries of the universe, bring to yourself a sense of purpose and significance that you are responsible for the whole human race as a species to explore new horizons in the darkness out there WHEN STUDYING AND TAKING ASTROPHYSICS EXAMS GUYS! I personally find this exam very inspiring.
I'm currently a senior in high school, and all this video did was reassure my choice into going into an astrophysics major. Many thanks for the video!!!
Really appreciate that you take the time to show what the course is, and not what the course is like. Too many people are afraid to show a little math. Keep it up!
I come from a humble family, raised by a single mother whom worked as a field worker (processing produce from field to package to get it sent out) and I was a laborer too, always trying to help my mom with my siblings. First time I went to college I dropped out due to family illness and having to work more to compensate for medical expenses (cancer). I never thought I’d be someone who could learn any of this, but fortunately things have changed. I am now enrolled in college again and before enrolling I would soak up all these astrophysics videos, to the point where I was able to realize if a video was showing incorrect information. This catapulted me into a math & physics double major (which I just started, doing great so far, really proud of myself) and I love seeing your videos. Makes me feel like I can be doing those tests soon and especially now because you show us what to expect and we can prepare ourselves better. I guess all the backstory was unnecessary but I wanted you to know how much I mean it when I say THANK YOU.
The best way to break-through in math is to Develop a mathematical thinking, rather than just seeing everything as numbers. This is my point to all math neophytes like myself: 1. The orderliness of the Universe bears winess to its mathematical nature. 2. The basis of all experience is the Memory of observable change, therefore involving mathematical Relations, Data recording and Data manipulation. 3. Our world "makes sense" Rationally ( Recurrence) and Or Irrationally (Uncertainty), because there's a basic Cognitive Factor in terms of fluctuating Sequencies and self-revealing Constants we all share with our Universe. 4. Know that Math, just like French or English, is in fact a Language of Thought and Observations, describing and recording Recurrences and predicting or positing the Uncertainties. It can be learnt and developed. 2. You're always using your Math Sense rationally or irrationally to Record and Predict your perceived Data. Obviously our Language of math varies according to the level of knowledge as to how the world works in the scope of Science and What it means from the standpoint of Subjective experience. Lastly, No scientific version of the world is perfect. We're always striving to prove or trancend a theory or a concept that is currently a relevant basis for Observation. As for me, not having been a mathematician, but artistic and more philosophical in my perception, I am going back to the basics and so far so good. Love your videos and Modesty.
GUYS IT FUCKING EXSISTS... Astrobiology is an interdisciplinary scientific field concerned with the origins, early evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe. Astrobiology considers the question of whether extraterrestrial life exists, and how humans can detect it if it does.[2] The term exobiology is similar.[3]
I swear I remember High School exam questions being like; John has five apples and he gives three of them to his friend. Calculate the mass of a neutron star.
Wait wtf? You have all the required constants LISTED, you can have 2 FREAKING PAGES of notes with you during the exams AND you just have to apply the formulas/rearrange them!?!? Despite the odds, my idiot self will somehow find a way fail this exam
This illustrates what I love the most about physics/maths... as long as you have the basic knowledge and are given the formulas it's really not all that complicated... until you step into the realm of theoretical, lol. Love the videos!!!
This is amazing! I'm an astrophysics student in Honduras (my native language is Spanish, I apologize for any mistakes in English) and I wish the physics exams in my university were similar to the one shown in the video.
I took astrophysics in a UC school at the undergraduate level. My final exam looked pretty similar to this, a lot of qualitative questions and some algebra. Very little hardcore calculus-based questions. It was honestly much easier than my analytical or quantum mechanics classes.
0peanutman0 you can do it if you want it. I barely payed attention in high school because i left home early and am possible on the spectrum, but I am enrolled in a Masters of Astro now
I usually don't comment on videos, but the quality of your videos are greatly appreciated as someone who is looking to graduate soon. Thank you for the analysis and insight into higher education!
It looks scary for sure, but i think that even a regular 100IQ person like most of us could do them if we studied astrophysics. When it comes to finals and stuff... that’s another story.
People complain that this is too easy? I don't know much about physics but I subscribe and watch because I have a school age daughter and am always on the lookout for good female role models in hard sciences for her. She has a strong aptitude for math and science and I want to encourage that - so I send her some of your videos. Think about the young girls that may watch you too.
I completely disagree with your unsolicited parenting advice. But lets keep this scientific. You can find the rest of this - "Conclusion We began this article by suggesting that women are not completely free to choose whether they want to pursue STEM careers. Rather, their professional choices are strongly constrained by cultural assumptions about their ingroup’s abilities or lack thereof. The current work suggests that seeing other successful women in STEM promises to free young women in the present generation from a societally constrained view of their abilities. Though these cultural stereotypes are deep seated and reinforced by the continued scarcity of women within STEM, the gender disparity has been decreasing over time, albeit not fast enough. Even in the absence of gender parity (which of course should be the long-term goal), our work suggests that increasing the visibility of a critical mass of scientists, engineers, and mathematicians, and providing women opportunities to have personal contact with them, has a profound positive effect on young women’s self-perceptions in science, math, and engineering."

That's not true for everyone. While boys do tend to seek male role models, girls tend to have a much smaller preference. That's why JK Rowling made Harry a boy -- whether you care or not, LuvCali28!
In my opinion, astronomy(along with cosmology/astrophysics) is the king of science. How rewarding is it to say your job is studying and observing the cosmos, the reason that we are here in the first place!
omfg. i've got an engineers degree in physics 18 years ago and forgot all of this already. ended up on a stupid occupation where all this crap has absolutely no value. why i did this to myself? all the expressions looks pretty easy, i think i can still refresh my knowledge and pass an exam like this in a month. but it will be absolutely useless, i'll never gonna be an astrophysicist anymore :((( physics have the courses that are much crazier than this. electromagnetic field theory for example, it's a total brainkiller. i think all the researchers of electromagnetism are turning into or a reptilians or an alcoholics at their end.
OMG!! I actually understand and can solve this exam D:, I study astronomy at the Andres Bello University (Chile) The one of the radius-mass relation was on my Stellar Astrophysics exam last year. Actually it was harder in my exam, since at the MIT they put the relation of the degenerated gas as hint and in my exam they give you nothing. I'm impressed.
This is an awesome video! This week I’ve made the decision to pursue astrophysics, which made this video that much more interesting 😃 If you ever do another video on this, I would love to hear the complete question word-for-word as it gives me a different perspective. Thank you for sharing!!
You should have user submitted tests to see the differences between let's say MIT and x University. It would interesting to see what different professors/universities find important.
Tibees is a beautiful person, and more importantly, a beautiful example to children of what can be accomplished when one is willing to commit: that they may have a beautiful mind.
people should not be scared of this material. It takes time, study and PRACTICE to fully understand these concepts. no one is a genius and born w/ correct ideas.
Could you get ahold of an exam on general relativity or quantum electrodynamics? It would be cool to see something with tensor calc/index manipulation.
Well...not once in my time earning a BS and MS in physics did I get to use "two pages of notes." during exams. This was from MIT? I'm quite surprised to see that my very public, non-elitist university expected more from me.
Thanks for making this, I'm still in high school and I've been wanting to pursue astrophysics for years, but as of late I've been having doubts and such. Knowing some of the concepts that would be taught and tests for those is going to help me decide, I'll probably keep with astrophysics.
The first page was easy, I think I would have got the "name" question right.
Questions be like:
Train leaves at 9 am but john came 10 mins late. Now, calculate the mass of the moon
Meanwhile I'm pushing on a pull door...
Ik I would’ve failed this test before I even clicked on this video
I can barely tie my own shoes.
Underrated comment 😂
questions be like "James coughed, now figure out the orbital velocity of the nucleus inside his third outter germ layer between each one of his mitochondria, in space."
Why UA-cam recommend this to me
Keyboard Warrior because you are into space and universe(lately).
Because they listen to your conversations and the lie about it
I think, for me at least, because I watch so many interstellar related videos
Bcs its in the category ofscience and technology
I wonder the same too.
The only thing i remember in school is the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

why do these exams make me feel stressed i dont take them
Nevermind I'll be a taxi driver
Im watching this as if i even know what astrophysics means
I can see that the questions are in perfect English but looks like all the answers are in ancient Greek. Weird.
I always wanted to be smart and work in the science field. Study books, join science clubs. I try everything but my brain is just not capable of it :(

Its sad that in my country we have to memorize everything, every damn equation, checking our memory not Problem resolving skills.
I'm currently a senior in high school, and all this video did was reassure my choice into going into an astrophysics major. Many thanks for the video!!!
I love this series :) We appreciate you sharing your love of physics and math! And helping those who are unsure to make the right decision.
As a senior Astrophysics major, I’m oddly astonished how easy this exam is what I anticipated it to be. O_o
Is no one going to comment on this gorgeous penmanship?
0ThrowawayAccount0 the cringe is real
whats actual cringe is a kid with a meme name calling a regular compliment cringe for no reason
I was exactly thinking about that!
I'm sure the TA grading these is grateful.
it's hideous.
As a physics/operational Meteorology major I can assure you that you will have no social life in college
Really appreciate that you take the time to show what the course is, and not what the course is like. Too many people are afraid to show a little math. Keep it up!
Andrew Dotson Hey there Andrew!
Andrew Dotson It looks easier than I thought.
Questions like ,
Population of earth is 7.6 B
Then calculate the population on moon after thanos's snap .
I love the progression from "yikes."---> *"heck."* -----> "cool."
I didn't want to keep scaring people off 😂
If you take the initial yhc you can see that half life 3 confirmed.
Some Guy on a Computer that can be an allegory for a star.

Oh Astrophysics...I'm a medical practitioner soooo......
*ASTROBIOLOGY*
Satan's Grandchild when we find life in space, soon my friend, astrobiology for life
"The health and how to take care of a star" or if we find alge you can study it
I like bio and only drawings BC I love drawing 😂

*Flips first page over*
My brain: Aight I am gonna head out...
Wait wtf? You have all the required constants LISTED, you can have 2 FREAKING PAGES of notes with you during the exams AND you just have to apply the formulas/rearrange them!?!?
Despite the odds, my idiot self will somehow find a way fail this exam
-YOU LOST ME AT QUESTION 1-
This illustrates what I love the most about physics/maths... as long as you have the basic knowledge and are given the formulas it's really not all that complicated... until you step into the realm of theoretical, lol.
Love the videos!!!
yeah exams be like:
Marko walk 2km now calculate the speed of the rocket
Atleast somebody in world are doing better unboxing
Wish I wasn't a complete dork and was actually able to understand a bit of this :'(
Space is fascinating
This is amazing! I'm an astrophysics student in Honduras (my native language is Spanish, I apologize for any mistakes in English) and I wish the physics exams in my university were similar to the one shown in the video.
Astrophysics is by far the most straight forward branch of physics, at least on an undergrad level
the 1st question of every phsics test was always so easy and you think everytime you can get a good grade until you read Q2, Q3,..
Weird flex but okay
aw man... i remember when i wanted to be an astronaut.
But then my math wasn't exceptionally good.
not sure why this was recommended, but CUTE
Why do you look worried in all your thumbnails? :(
Lmao with phyics, who wouldn't be.
Daniel Gonzalez it's one of the common symptoms of joining college
Her thumb nails got plenty of screen time here, but I can't read any emotion in them.

Gosh her voice sounds so lovely
Wow. I have absolutely no idea what’s going on. Let’s try Shakespeare instead!
2B or not (2B)?
Okay UA-cam I saw it, you happy?!
bro why am I here
I took astrophysics in a UC school at the undergraduate level. My final exam looked pretty similar to this, a lot of qualitative questions and some algebra. Very little hardcore calculus-based questions. It was honestly much easier than my analytical or quantum mechanics classes.
Wish i was smart enough to understand this :/
Barely got through my HSC :(
0peanutman0 you can do it if you want it. I barely payed attention in high school because i left home early and am possible on the spectrum, but I am enrolled in a Masters of Astro now
You are so intelligent, beautiful, sure of yourself, etc...
You are perfect
I usually don't comment on videos, but the quality of your videos are greatly appreciated as someone who is looking to graduate soon. Thank you for the analysis and insight into higher education!
* sees physics *
Me: Ight imma head out
I have no connect with physics because of your vidios I learn and take interest in physics thanks so much for your videos.
Honey Martin If you like math then go for it.
True, but I think they were saying that understanding maths is an essential part of it. Not that it's like a maths degree.
When I was younger I wanted to be an astronomer. Then I started watching these videos.
Now I have my CDL
I took astrophysics in high school and i confirm.. also it was one of the coolest courses I’ve ever taken in my life
It looks scary for sure, but i think that even a regular 100IQ person like most of us could do them if we studied astrophysics. When it comes to finals and stuff... that’s another story.

Gary, calm down. Young children do indeed look for role models of their same gender whether you care or not.
stapleboss - I LOVE how you told Gary Miller to take several seats!! LOL. Maybe if he has a daughter one day he will understand.

I'm an Astrophysicist myself, and some of these questions are spinning my head. The difference of education is boggling.
it really makes me uncomfortable! why am I watching this?
This gives me anxiety
Cómo cuando entiendes inglés pero no matemáticas 😂😂😂
It's like another different language :'v
2020, someone?
You know it's only by you tht i get enough motivation that i can get a major in physics
my physics exam is tommorow please wish me luck
Thanks for noticing me😍
how was it?
Hope it went well
great
jee advanced is much much much harder than this exam!
You're cute
I'm gonna say it... not all heroes wear capes.
1:27 Why does the Gravitation Constant show as 7x10^-8? Shouldn't it be 6.67x10^-11?
Im studying chemistry, why am i watching videos on astrophysics? great video btw
After nine long minutes I have only one thing to say:
She has beautiful long fingers.
Oh my god....thanks...this is just the exam I wanted to see
i wonder how exhilarating must it feel like to actually understand and be enthusiastically engaged and passionate to astrophysics,,,,i wouldnt know
Your face as you look at the exam in the thumbnail is the exact face I make when I look at an exam I know I'm about to fail
I’m now an astrophysicist after watching this video.
I have ascended the realms and attained godhood.
I understand that I don't understand anything
omfg. i've got an engineers degree in physics 18 years ago and forgot all of this already. ended up on a stupid occupation where all this crap has absolutely no value. why i did this to myself? all the expressions looks pretty easy, i think i can still refresh my knowledge and pass an exam like this in a month. but it will be absolutely useless, i'll never gonna be an astrophysicist anymore :(((

Can you get your hands on any engineering exams? Preferably aerospace.
I can try and do that for a future video, I didn't personally study aerospace but could talk about it
Cool. Looking forward to it.
Tibees any engineering will do
I’d definitely watch this sort of video!! I’m first year aero.
Tibees How about Actuarial or Applied Maths? So cool!!!
Engineering is applied physics
(Good answer)
Engineering is applied AUTOCAD
( *Harvard wants to KNOW your location* )
OMG!! I actually understand and can solve this exam D:, I study astronomy at the Andres Bello University (Chile) The one of the radius-mass relation was on my Stellar Astrophysics exam last year. Actually it was harder in my exam, since at the MIT they put the relation of the degenerated gas as hint and in my exam they give you nothing. I'm impressed.
It honestly doesn’t look to bad, it is like anything you decide to familiarize yourself with.
This is an awesome video! This week I’ve made the decision to pursue astrophysics, which made this video that much more interesting 😃 If you ever do another video on this, I would love to hear the complete question word-for-word as it gives me a different perspective. Thank you for sharing!!
They are easy questions. not because students who study it are super smart, it is just a matter of more studying time.
You should have user submitted tests to see the differences between let's say MIT and x University. It would interesting to see what different professors/universities find important.
Tibees is a beautiful person, and more importantly, a beautiful example to children of what can be accomplished when one is willing to commit: that they may have a beautiful mind.
And then there's gender studies..lol
Thank you so much for sharing! Currently on my journey to become an Astrophysicist myself.
people should not be scared of this material. It takes time, study and PRACTICE to fully understand these concepts. no one is a genius and born w/ correct ideas.
“Reasonably simple”, “not too hard”. Sure.
Could you get ahold of an exam on general relativity or quantum electrodynamics? It would be cool to see something with tensor calc/index manipulation.
Anisomorphism This! +1
Well...not once in my time earning a BS and MS in physics did I get to use "two pages of notes." during exams. This was from MIT? I'm quite surprised to see that my very public, non-elitist university expected more from me.
Im in medical school. Why am I watching this? 😂
I'm an uber driver why am I watching this
primera vez que youtube me recomienda algo que vale la pena ver
Thanks for making this, I'm still in high school and I've been wanting to pursue astrophysics for years, but as of late I've been having doubts and such. Knowing some of the concepts that would be taught and tests for those is going to help me decide, I'll probably keep with astrophysics.
