@@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.

As a Japanese person, I would like to add that people who are accepted into the University of Tokyo School of Medicine (the department of Natural Sciences III at the University of Tokyo) are called aliens, not humans. (This is not a joke.) In fact, I attended a high school that was considered the most difficult in a certain prefecture, and roughly once every two years, the top student in their grade passed it.
This man is OP. He managed to finish the exam early while being interrupted by the interviewer at the same time. Imagine how fast he would have finished if he was extra focused and the exam was written in Japanese.
😢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. 😢😢😢

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.
@@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
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.
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 🤯
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.
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'.
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.
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
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
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
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.

Em algum momento da nossa história criaram esse exame para avaliar o nível de formação dos nossos estudantes que terminam o Ensino Médio(com uma média de 17 anos) e depois o desgoverno federal criou uma política de assistência estudantil que obrigou praticamente todos os alunos a prestar essa aberração para entrar nas universidades ....
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.
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
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.
@@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.
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.
@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.
@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)

@@sulkel idk about that but the questions shown in the video were way easier than german high school math exams. But yeah I am generally really good at maths so maybe they just look that easy to me.
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
@@Snoopy0905 No, everyone can receive education in america, however no one strives to focus in class or rarely is it seen where people actually study, unlike japan where its looked down upon if you dont study and communities put more inclination towards the importance of grades and etc.
The entrance exams for the University of Tokyo in mathematics, physics, and chemistry are exceptionally challenging, with only a handful of individuals nationwide able to achieve an 80% score. (I have taken both the SAT and the University of Tokyo's entrance exams.)
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.
SAT is like 10th grade level maths, here in India. The harder part is english, but if you're somewhat proficient at it, it isn't hard to get a 1400+ score.
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
@@kume_VRC I know, but I did the same thing and I was a average Brazilian high school kid at the time. Like, the SAT is mostly 8th grade math if we consider what I (and most students) learned in Brazil
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 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.
Honestly im envious of him, my memory isnt the greatest so ive forgotten a lot of the basic stuff, im very scared in all honesty for my future math courses :(
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.
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
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.
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
@@tyler-iy4jkThat is very incorrect. As a college student, Colleges do care a lot about the SAT and your score. It is seen as very impressive to get a 1600 perfect score as a student in the US. The average SAT score in the US is around 1050. My 1450 score was the reason I was able to get in some top universities.
Whenever I have some sort of test, I always worry about having the wrong answers despite double checking it and redoing it over and over again. It's nice to know Japan's #1 also has the same level of worry as me! 😁
TBH perfect SAT score and perfect SAT math score are 2 completely different things. But I'm still impressed with how he could learn so many different professions.
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.
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.
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.

Why a University entrance exam? He should be taking a Japanese highschool exam similar to the SAT. Makes no sense why he would take the University of Tokyo exam. If he takes the University of Tokyo entrance exam, then this Japanese gentleman should take the Harvard entrance exam 🤷♂️
@@HieNebThe problem with your statement is that the the equivalent for SAT in Japan is EJU (Examination for Japanese University Admission), esentially they take exams in a university level in order for them to go to their dream college/university. That's why most Japanese Highschool students study in their freshman year or senior year while going to cram school. So the OP is correct in saying that they want to see the smartest man in America take a University exam since its esentailly the SAT of Japanese high schoolers
@@HieNebthere’s no Harvard entrance exam. In the US universities look at your SAT/ACT score, GPA, recommendations, achievements, and essays they ask you write for them.
I think what he said about math problems in the US like high school there is already thought in Asian elementary schools ( i Don't know which countries) but here in Philippines triangular equation is in elementary and geometric sequence, polynomials, exponential equations are already though in the last grade of elementary and first year of High school
That is absolutely incredible. The human brain can achieve so much when you are gifted and dedicated. Not saying it is all a gift, there was certainly hard work behind it as well. For me it's just mindblowing.
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
Lmfao. I basically went to University with this caliber of dude and yet, I was outscoring them on every exam, and I was a poor white kid from a single-family household raised on bread, hotdogs, and micowaved mac & cheese. There are certain people in the World who are just BORN talented, with capabilities higher than anyone else, no matter what efforts they put in. I studied for a week for my ACT and SAT and got a 36 and 1590, respectively. I am, verifiably, a genius.
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.
What I know is that top level universities in US also take entrepreneurial potential of students. This explains why things like gold medals of competitions (like IMO, Ipho, computer, etc.) don't guarantee seats.
@@gepliprl8558 Yep, a lot of monetary value is placed on students. They are treated like a stock by top Universities. They want to know how much they can get out of you. However, that is understandable, especially in the case of private universities. They always chase funding for their next parking garage or school of business building. It doesn't matter if you might be fairly smart if all you are going to do is work a 9-5 making low to mid-six figures. They are chasing more than that in donations.
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
This isn't about the SAT, but I’d like to add some context about his CPA qualification. The Japanese CPA exam is one of the most challenging qualifications in Japan. Even if we ignore the differences in accounting standards, I believe that less than 1% of those who pass the U.S. CPA exam would be able to pass the Japanese CPA exam. When I first took the U.S. CPA exam, it felt like answering basic trivia questions about business. Given the high pass rates, it seems that the exam tests general aptitude rather than specialized knowledge. In Japan, passing the exam requires proving that you have acquired expert-level knowledge.
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.
Not an iq test at all, reading questions carefully is not a matter of iq. If you’re saying that it is in terms of pattern recognition, the SAT has the most basic level pattern recognition questions. If you prep for it in the right way 100% on the math section is very very achievable. I don’t mean to sound pompous but I genuinely believe that’s the case.
The SAT is brought down by needing to cater to the ‘average’ of American education. Something a little harder might be the AP exams, but even then he might breeze through them 😅
The hardest part of college admissions are having an impressive track record to impress the colleges. SAT score isn’t enough so that’s why it’s super easy, even Harvard won’t just accept everyone with a 1600
I haven't watched yet, but as a post-university-graduate scientist, I can assure you that the SAT or any high-school-level test is terribly easy for me (and a lot of my colleagues) now. The SAT may cover regionally or culturally specific information that I wouldn't expect a Japanese person to know just based on their intelligence. For instance, English literature and American history would be very much niche topics for any Japanese person to know about, and whether they could answer such questions depends less on their intellect and more on how interested they are in American culture. I'd be surprised if more than 5% of Japanese people have ever even heard the names "Abraham Lincoln" and "Benedict Arnold" before in their lives, but you can bet most Americans have at least some idea who these people are. However, if they were given study materials beforehand or weren't made to do such questions, then a perfect score is probably a guarantee here...
Japanese children learn about Lincoln in history or social studies classes. The phrase "government of the people, by the people, for the people" is one of the most famous in Japanese classes.(DeepL)
Well, spoiler, he wasn't made to do any of those questions, you know what I mean when I say American culture (another name that works better is Paul Revere), and so it was essentially a 10th-grade math quiz given to a college graduate.
honestly, if i took SAT in my first language and not in english i'm also pretty sure that i would get a really high score bcs personally the questions are really easy it's just that i don't know what some stuff means in english bcs i'm like 14
The SAT math is a joke, english is much harder. The math portion only covers basic level math from 9th to 11th grade. The subjects he talks about that are missing are the ones that are supplemental in the US although very common knowledge in Asian HS's. The key takeaway from the math portion is that practice is important as the structure stays the same and learning to analysis word problems can be tricky.
I'm fairly against standardized testing (humans are bad at setting standards that aren't discriminatory/oppressive) but I feel like at their best they should be easy for "the smartest person" in whatever region. The goal isn't to make the hardest test, it's to gauge where someone's education is at. This dude being super educated means these tests shouldn't be difficult for him. It was cool to see the genius recognize the difficulty level was good.
Medicine student here. Where I am from, studying medicine takes 6 years. 5 years of studying + 1 practical year. And trust me when I say that around half (at least at my uni) take more time. The amount of things you need to know is sometimes ridiculous. And yet, this monster also studied law and passed the bar. One of my friends also studies law AND medicine at the same time and he has pretty much given up on law/put it on hold for the next two years. Finishing law, accounting and medicine in for years is just bonkers and I fail to comprehend how anyone can be as smart as him.......
SAT was never about being an assessment of math, just your ability to look at a problem and understand what it's asking, but schools only teach you the math bit. Then there's the English section which is your ability to pull information out of a document and evaluate it. I didn't get anywhere near a perfect score, but I also didn't do more than a cursory review of the material the day before the exam (sorry mom)
Chinese and Korean exams→ Each questions aren't difficult but you need almost full score to enter top uni. Japanese exams → The questions are extremely tough but you only need to solve 60% of the whole test. However at least 70-80% of score is required to pass the University of Tokyo department of medicine.
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.

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.

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. 😅
I would’ve figured out that this man was a professional intellectual at 5:46 with that pen flip. Damn that was smooth af lol
basic thumbaround
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.
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)

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 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.

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.
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 .
Is it necessary to mention India literally everywhere?
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
@@tyler-iy4jkThat is very incorrect. As a college student, Colleges do care a lot about the SAT and your score. It is seen as very impressive to get a 1600 perfect score as a student in the US. The average SAT score in the US is around 1050. My 1450 score was the reason I was able to get in some top universities.
Whenever I have some sort of test, I always worry about having the wrong answers despite double checking it and redoing it over and over again. It's nice to know Japan's #1 also has the same level of worry as me! 😁
TBH perfect SAT score and perfect SAT math score are 2 completely different things.
But I'm still impressed with how he could learn so many different professions.
Wow amazing! Can you ask him to do the AP Calculus BC exam next time?
日本の入試は一発勝負だから受験生は試験のために長い間勉強するけど、SATは何度も実施されるし何度も受けられるし、大学に入るための一つの目安でしかない（他にエッセイとかボランティアとかスポーツとかの活動も重視される）から日本の受験生のようにSATのために勉強する人はいない。基礎が出来てるかどうかの目安？だから中学生レベルなのかも。
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.
In Japan, there is also a test like the SAT, which is given before the university entrance exam. (i.e., during the senior year of high school).
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.
Please give him Math A level next time, would be interesting to see his perspective on which is more challenging
a level is way harder that sat, especially further maths a level
A level maths is still easier than maths taught in East Asia lol

That's what made me leave this video immediately
Next time, on the contrary, I want the smartest person in America to solve the entrance exam of the University of Tokyo. It is definitely the hardest in the world.
Why a University entrance exam? He should be taking a Japanese highschool exam similar to the SAT. Makes no sense why he would take the University of Tokyo exam. If he takes the University of Tokyo entrance exam, then this Japanese gentleman should take the Harvard entrance exam 🤷♂️
@@HieNebThe problem with your statement is that the the equivalent for SAT in Japan is EJU (Examination for Japanese University Admission), esentially they take exams in a university level in order for them to go to their dream college/university. That's why most Japanese Highschool students study in their freshman year or senior year while going to cram school. So the OP is correct in saying that they want to see the smartest man in America take a University exam since its esentailly the SAT of Japanese high schoolers
Bros has not heard of jee💀
Are you slow
@@HieNebthere’s no Harvard entrance exam. In the US universities look at your SAT/ACT score, GPA, recommendations, achievements, and essays they ask you write for them.
I think what he said about math problems in the US like high school there is already thought in Asian elementary schools ( i Don't know which countries) but here in Philippines triangular equation is in elementary and geometric sequence, polynomials, exponential equations are already though in the last grade of elementary and first year of High school
That is absolutely incredible. The human brain can achieve so much when you are gifted and dedicated. Not saying it is all a gift, there was certainly hard work behind it as well.
For me it's just mindblowing.
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.
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
Lmfao. I basically went to University with this caliber of dude and yet, I was outscoring them on every exam, and I was a poor white kid from a single-family household raised on bread, hotdogs, and micowaved mac & cheese.
There are certain people in the World who are just BORN talented, with capabilities higher than anyone else, no matter what efforts they put in.
I studied for a week for my ACT and SAT and got a 36 and 1590, respectively. I am, verifiably, a genius.
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.
What I know is that top level universities in US also take entrepreneurial potential of students. This explains why things like gold medals of competitions (like IMO, Ipho, computer, etc.) don't guarantee seats.
@@gepliprl8558 Yep, a lot of monetary value is placed on students. They are treated like a stock by top Universities. They want to know how much they can get out of you. However, that is understandable, especially in the case of private universities. They always chase funding for their next parking garage or school of business building. It doesn't matter if you might be fairly smart if all you are going to do is work a 9-5 making low to mid-six figures. They are chasing more than that in donations.
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
This isn't about the SAT, but I’d like to add some context about his CPA qualification.
The Japanese CPA exam is one of the most challenging qualifications in Japan. Even if we ignore the differences in accounting standards, I believe that less than 1% of those who pass the U.S. CPA exam would be able to pass the Japanese CPA exam.
When I first took the U.S. CPA exam, it felt like answering basic trivia questions about business. Given the high pass rates, it seems that the exam tests general aptitude rather than specialized knowledge.
In Japan, passing the exam requires proving that you have acquired expert-level knowledge.
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.
私もSATを9割近くとった事のある日本人ですが、海外の優秀な大学の数学の試験レベルは日本の高校の偏差値55〜60あれば大抵9割はとれます。日本の数学難易度が高すぎるせいだと思います。逆に海外の優秀な大学で学ばれている方々が日本の東大・京大の数学を受けてみると半分もとれない方が多いかもしれません。もちろん超優秀な海外の方々がいるのも事実です。
The reason why the SAT has so many "trick questions" and questions worded in confusing ways is because it's basically an IQ test.
I was going to say this. They literally made the SAT in the 1900s by taking a military IQ test and handing it to highschoolers.
wouldn't be more a focus test?
@@Sindigo-ic6xq What's a focus test?
I don't see any trick question in sat 😂😂
Not an iq test at all, reading questions carefully is not a matter of iq. If you’re saying that it is in terms of pattern recognition, the SAT has the most basic level pattern recognition questions. If you prep for it in the right way 100% on the math section is very very achievable. I don’t mean to sound pompous but I genuinely believe that’s the case.
3:06 he says “高一” which means 10th grade not 9th grade, cuz in Japan high school is 10th-12th grade
The SAT is brought down by needing to cater to the ‘average’ of American education. Something a little harder might be the AP exams, but even then he might breeze through them 😅
can't speak for other subjects, but AP math exams are quite easy by most countries' standards.
The hardest part of college admissions are having an impressive track record to impress the colleges. SAT score isn’t enough so that’s why it’s super easy, even Harvard won’t just accept everyone with a 1600
I haven't watched yet, but as a post-university-graduate scientist, I can assure you that the SAT or any high-school-level test is terribly easy for me (and a lot of my colleagues) now.
The SAT may cover regionally or culturally specific information that I wouldn't expect a Japanese person to know just based on their intelligence. For instance, English literature and American history would be very much niche topics for any Japanese person to know about, and whether they could answer such questions depends less on their intellect and more on how interested they are in American culture. I'd be surprised if more than 5% of Japanese people have ever even heard the names "Abraham Lincoln" and "Benedict Arnold" before in their lives, but you can bet most Americans have at least some idea who these people are. However, if they were given study materials beforehand or weren't made to do such questions, then a perfect score is probably a guarantee here...
Japanese children learn about Lincoln in history or social studies classes. The phrase "government of the people, by the people, for the people" is one of the most famous in Japanese classes.(DeepL)
In fact, 99% of Japanese people have heard about Lincoln. (Except for elementary school students and younger.)
Well, spoiler, he wasn't made to do any of those questions, you know what I mean when I say American culture (another name that works better is Paul Revere), and so it was essentially a 10th-grade math quiz given to a college graduate.
中学生以上の99%はリンカーンの名前を知っていて、大人を含めて50%は何をした人なのか知っていると思いますよ。日本でも常識中の常識です
日本の教育を舐めすぎている
honestly, if i took SAT in my first language and not in english i'm also pretty sure that i would get a really high score bcs personally the questions are really easy it's just that i don't know what some stuff means in english bcs i'm like 14
The SAT math is a joke, english is much harder. The math portion only covers basic level math from 9th to 11th grade. The subjects he talks about that are missing are the ones that are supplemental in the US although very common knowledge in Asian HS's. The key takeaway from the math portion is that practice is important as the structure stays the same and learning to analysis word problems can be tricky.
yea they have like rudimentary arithmetic questions that a 8 yr old could answer
I'm fairly against standardized testing (humans are bad at setting standards that aren't discriminatory/oppressive) but I feel like at their best they should be easy for "the smartest person" in whatever region. The goal isn't to make the hardest test, it's to gauge where someone's education is at. This dude being super educated means these tests shouldn't be difficult for him.
It was cool to see the genius recognize the difficulty level was good.
Medicine student here.
Where I am from, studying medicine takes 6 years. 5 years of studying + 1 practical year. And trust me when I say that around half (at least at my uni) take more time.
The amount of things you need to know is sometimes ridiculous. And yet, this monster also studied law and passed the bar.
One of my friends also studies law AND medicine at the same time and he has pretty much given up on law/put it on hold for the next two years.
Finishing law, accounting and medicine in for years is just bonkers and I fail to comprehend how anyone can be as smart as him.......
SAT was never about being an assessment of math, just your ability to look at a problem and understand what it's asking, but schools only teach you the math bit. Then there's the English section which is your ability to pull information out of a document and evaluate it. I didn't get anywhere near a perfect score, but I also didn't do more than a cursory review of the material the day before the exam (sorry mom)
Great video and he's truly the best in Japan
Every Asian Parent’s Dream 😂
Chinese and Korean exams→ Each questions aren't difficult but you need almost full score to enter top uni.
Japanese exams → The questions are extremely tough but you only need to solve 60% of the whole test.
However at least 70-80% of score is required to pass the University of Tokyo department of medicine.
no, at least 90%~ to pass the university of Tokyo department of medicine
@@コンデンサー Maybe you are confused with共通テスト(Standard University entrance exam) and you are correct if you are talking about this.

The math text in SAT is like kids math for japanese. tbh haha
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.
would love for him to try the Bavarian final exam (German education system is dependent on the region you come from). It's sooo much reading just to understand what they expect from you
And why would we want to see one of the easiest ones in Germany?
@@MrTrollo2 Why would it be the easiest one in your opinion? Looking at the most rankings, the bavarian finals are told to be the most challenging, maybe preceded by Sachsen.
@@AkiO-kb8ho what rankings do you refer to? If I Google, it seems pretty obvious - given, they use the average mark as an indicator, which probably isn't the best you could do
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!😂
the fact that a SAT is considered middle school level in japan just shows how good the education system is there and how bad it is in most other places in the worlds respectively
