Recently, Weibo blogger @ Zhang Dou Zhang Hua made a video, asking junior two students to do the American SAT math problems randomly selected by 10.
SAT, the American College Entrance Examination, is an important reference for high school students from all over the world to apply for admission qualifications and scholarships in American universities, in which the mathematics part accounts for 1/3 of the total score. China people basically get full marks for math problems with 800 points, while foreigners get high marks for 680 and 750. As a result, it took only 2 minutes and 42 seconds to hand in the first paper, and it was all collected in 6 minutes.
The teacher also said that the topic is not beyond the outline, but only as a basic topic in the usual practice.
Three years in high school have yielded different results.
It can be seen from the comparison of the three-year state of senior high school between China and the United States that China candidates' learning objectives are all the college entrance examination, giving up the extracurricular entertainment time of combining work and rest and striving for the college entrance examination. "Listening to things outside the window and concentrating on reading sage books" is the truest portrayal of learning. However, the students from China who took the American College Entrance Examination perfectly combined study+interest+socialization. Their three-year goals are clear, substantial and fruitful. For example, they began to study foreign courses in the first year of high school, paying attention to social activities and interest development; In my sophomore year, I took TOEFL, IELTS, SAT and other exams. , applied for foreign universities, focusing on social activities and interest development; Students who successfully apply for senior three can continue to complete the credits, while those who fail to apply can continue to apply, still pay attention to the improvement of social activities and the development of interest, and reserve more energy for themselves.
