😢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. 😢😢😢

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.

[@SHADOWM2024]

@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.

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 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.

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

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.

[@EvanHBogle]

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.

[@twins9068]

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.

[@idkbutok3824]

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.

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 🤷‍♂️

[@animeotaku9110]

​​@@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.

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.

[@peterbenoit5886]

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.

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.

[@ro25988]

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.
