Can the Smartest Man in Japan Get a Perfect SAT Score?

The SAT is honestly more of an English test than a math test even for Americans.

Dang.. now imagine how much more easy this test would be if he wasn’t being interviewed throughout the exam and it was written in Japanese

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.

that pen trick at 5:45 is smoother than his grades and achievements

Now I wanna see the opposite of this, the Smartest Man in America passing the exam for Japanese university entrance.

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.

Loved this

its crazy to hear the difference of standards im not ashamed to admit i thought the SAT was pretty difficult and not really working with math in my daily life it would probably still be difficult if not more difficult for me now - goes to show that you need to advocate for your own education and work hard in school recently i wish i had applied myself more in math despite living comfortably without it - as a personal goal i think its good to always strive for better results against your past self this reignites a desire to study mathematics more lol

The reason he is able to study so well is because he thinks of studying as a game and enjoys it as much as he can.

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.

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.

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.

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.

On YouTube, there are many geniuses for some reason, but what makes him even more amazing is that he sincerely communicates his feelings on a level that the average person can relate to, more so than those other individuals.

So intereating!! 😂😂😂😂I have enjoyed the interview and him doing test 🎉😂❤

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 🤯

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'.

it's pretty freaking amazing that jesse is able to get access to more and more high profile people in japan. kudoz to him.

He seemed to be enjoying solving those questions

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
