@@nefrit6584 Even though it's tempting and often justified to attribute much of what's shown here to the American schooling system being as lackluster as it tends to be, people also have to be held accountable for their own lack of initiative when it comes to their education. At the risk of sounding conceited by using myself as an example, my formal education technically stopped at 9th grade here in the US but I still continued to educate myself via the internet, library, etc. on an ongoing basis and still do so to this day. Laziness and just plain not caring is usually far worse a culprit than poor schooling is in my experience, as people very often DO have the means to educate themselves.

@@route2070 I think you're confusing adultery for bigamy. Bigamy is the crime of endeavoring to marry another person when you're already legally married to someone else. But as far as the legality of adultery goes (cheating on your spouse), don't quote me on this but I believe it's technically still illegal in some states but it just isn't enforced anymore like it probably was back in the 1920's. I'll have to look into it further, but with the mores being what they were back at the time this test was created it's no wonder it's considered a crime along with murder and larceny.

I wasn't allowed to use a calculator when I took the SAT, and it still had algebra and geometry on it. We were allowed a piece of scrap paper to do calculations on. That was back in the days when you got a lower score for incorrect answers, so you were supposed to leave questions blank if you were unsure of the answer. I had one question on the vocabulary I could not figure out, and it drove me mad. It was one of those "this is to that as such and such is to _____, and I didn't know what 'advent' meant. I will never forget how frustrating that was. I wanted to guess, tried to think of related words like adventure, Advent (preparing for Christmas)...couldn't figure it out. Ugh. I did NOT want to leave that question blank, but I did.

@@astersaur the SAT's questions are individually not too difficult but they're designed to make you slip up and do small mistakes which add up. Furthermore they are extremely time limited and so you don't have a lot of time to analyze each question. The math ones can get more complicated and the readings longer. These would be considered the easier questions but that doesn't mean they're the whole test. Same thing applies for act.

This seems to be what you are summarising in their approach, but it definitely rings true of ours too

No and maybe they do know their stuff in the areas where they make videos but still I just find it hard to believe they can be good scientists with how they performed and took these tests I feel like someone who has graduated from higher education should not be scared of a 10 question test and get that excited to get one answer right.

They both studied biology and graduated in 2012. I don't think they aren't smart, just that they haven't done those particular kinds of problems in a while. We tend to forget things that we don't have the need to practice regularly like we once did.

Okay so I've always been VERY bad at maths, and the 5th question with the mules and horses, i remember we did algebra on these problems with very difficult operations and i never understood how to do it. but i just processed this and totally got the answer without algebra !! Like, they said some muleS and horseS, so AT LEASt 2 horses were sold. he made a profit of 220$, so minus the prices of the 2 horses sold, it would mean he made 140$ selling the mules. But mules sells for 50$ each so the total price of sold mules can't never equal 140, it would need to be 150. Since 40 is the price of a horse... Well he sold 3 horses... and two mules for 50$ each which makes 100$. It has to be at least two mules since mule is plurial in the question OwO

Ecclesiastical basically means to do with organized religion, AKA the Church. If you play Warhammer 40K you'll hear that word a lot, given the Imperium of Man is a theocracy and the Ecclesiarchy is basically the organized arm that governs the interpretations of the Imperial Cult. In real life we have similar organized religions, but "Ecclesiastical" usually refers to some form of Christianity.

1.) I got it right. I thought it was cause those 3 were all true things that, like, can be caught. 2.) Plain old multiplication, I got it right. 3.)Also right, could be true, could not be, just depends. 4.)I did c but mostly cause Ecclesiastical is the only word b that I don't know up there so... and I kind of can't even think of what the opposite of tepid is. But I'm wrong so... 5.)600 =》820 Profit H=40 M=60 820-600=220= overall profit How can you break up 220 in 40's and 60's? 60+40+60+60= 220 -That-is-3-mules.- What did I do wrongggggg Fuck meeeeee, it's 50 per mule and 40 per horse. 50+50+40+40+40=220 That is 2 mules. Correct 6.)leads to drunckedness, leads to failure? 7.)hospitals help sick, asylum helps refugees? Yuppp 8.)each week they have a "profit" of $6 so... 300/6=50 yupppp 9.)e but I don't know why? It makes sense. Don't make me show my work. 10.)I want to say A, cause fuck god but also, I know it is d, I think because it is all not positive things that one can do. Ding ding, I'm right. 8/10 would do again . Low B tho, that's bringing my 4.0 dowwwwwn. Although, that is a hell of a lot easier the the psat that I took this year. Fuck Wisconsin.

D aren't opposites, but they're more opposites than the rest. Ecclesiastical means belonging to the church and tepid is lukewarm. If I were writing the test, I would have replaced ecclesiastical and lukewarm with made-up words, so that logically it has to be the equivalent of "ecclesiastical-tepid". For example: A) Black, Chairagonal B) Chairagonal, Quollen C) Quollen, Wooden D) Black, Wooden most logical answer (or safest answer) is B

Dear Greg and minch. At one point in time you had made a video about narcissism. Ive then sense realized i am one. Im trapped in mind and it feels like a constant prison. I was wondering if you could make a video on how to treat this. I want to change, i want it to end. I have a hard time finding anything about fixing this. Its more so in the lines of " HOW TO AVOID THE NARCISSIST DEMON" please if you can help me. I know there's a lot of us looking for help who cant afford it.

Ok I'm only at 5 but is anyone else feeling like these questions are super easy. Like I don't want to be mean to these guys but I feel like they are playing stupid. Especially the horse and mule question..... That question was like elementary school math or maybe 6th grade idk. I mean the two lowest numbers is 2 and 5. And if you go with 5 mules that means he got 250 from them which is more than the 220 profit he got. Like it's sooooooo fucking easy. And I never tested well in school. I excelled at homework but I suck at multiple choice questions. The only one that had been hard was the word one with obvious and intricate. And I didn't know only bc I didn't know what that one word was that they too didn't know. But if you think about it, intricate can mean complicated and the opposite of that is obvious. I'll see how I feel at the end but so far these guys really are not impressive in their critical thinking. No wonder customers are so hopeless when I work, they probably couldn't pass the first SAT!

Okay but the horses and mules one was literally the easiest maths ever, why would Greg have to guess on it? If the profit was 220$ (820-600) and he got 50$ for a mule, that rules out everything but A because the second smallest number was B 5 mules but that's already 250$

0:47 Q1 tests specialized knowledge but is presented as testing (english) language ability, i think specialized knowledge ought to be tested separately from general intelligence. 2:40 Q4 none of those pairs are opposites 3:32 Q5 is clever in that it's actually about modular arithmetic. why didn't you show the answer to Q6? 5:59 Q9 E is the most direct answer, but F is the most general answer (if we interpret must in it's common usage as an intensifier of usual benefit). generality is preferred unless it obscures the concrete, but here it does not.
