The problem is that ppl that create those test are themselves pretty poor in English. While the answers are formally correct, as well as a use of grammar and syntax, the phrasing, the use of vocabulary and particularly semantics are totally inaccurate.

Very true! And the real testament is that most or many Koreans do not speak fluent English by the time they’re done with school. As a contrast, I started studying English in Russia at 9. By the time I moved to the US at 15 I was fluent so much so that I could take trigonometry during my sophomore year, my first year in the US, without difficulty. It seems like this test is not at all indicative of the actual knowledge of the English language.

Exactly!!

PERIODD

@@perakojot6524 The point of the exam is to make sure the person who is learning the language can actually have a process of thinking in that specific language. We can all learn the vocabulary of a certain language easily but it’s difficult to actually think in that language.

Exactly, but also that’s lowkey how schools and higher education works in general. I remember taking one of my final examples in English and it was tbh quite similar to this (I’m German). As a native speaker you get quite lost, because you’re not trained into finding those keywords.

Schooling is about recollecting memories and realizing patterns, they don’t encourage independent thinking at least in exams, because it’s quite impossible to standardize that and give grades accordingly.

Not really. The SAT tests for “scholastic aptitude” - by way of logic and verbal reasoning. They are somewhat testing your grasp of vocabulary and grammar but the real point of the “reading comprehension” section is to test your critical thinking. It is actually a good primer to the formal academic writing you will encounter in university, ie reading theory in the humanities or social sciences. As far as measuring “independent thought” typically there is a writing portion as well where the focus is more on rhetorical ability.
source: I barely tried in school but I aced my SATs... (I will say that the structure of these exams is more geared toward those with a knack for logic, puzzles, word games etc.)

As a Filipino and is currently in college here in the ph. I agree with you, school is ridicously hard here.

@@soleil8596 traffic is bad as well. I had to get up at 5-5:30am for school and arrive home at 7pm. That is if you don’t have any extracurricular activities such as clubs and sports varsities.

Interesting. My high school (g7-10, pre-K-12) was 7:30-3:30 (dismissal changed every year but more or less was in between 3:20 and 3:40) then extracurricular “9th period” would be an additional 50 minutes after 8th period. And that’s it.

@@nmplab we have a schedule like that but only once a week. But then I have to stay a bit because I have to wait for others to finish due to our school service

I heard this from friends who've taught in korea as well. Absolutely excel in written "textbook" English but can't hold a basic conversation. They need to revise their teaching methods. I suddenly remember my Spanish teach from high school. She never spoke a word of English and emphasized conversation and interactive lessons. We hardly read from textbooks or workbooks.

Why do they do that?

But foreign language learning in many places doesn't help anyone to speak that foreign language. I'm from the Caribbean, and we learn Spanish and French on my island for yearsssss but no one can actually speak any of those languages. It is simply part of the curriculum.
I just feel a bit bad to see so many people coming down on Korea specifically, when I think the real issue is that: teaching a foreign language in school for a couple hours a week, with students having no way to practice said language, leads to students being unable to speak said foreign language.
Edit:
I just want to let you know that I know my comment was unnecessary. I totally got your point, I just felt like defending them for some reason lol.

Good point. Im 100% agree with you.

@@ittybittymouthful My Spanish teacher was the same. Our speaking grade was measured by how much Spanish we spoke to her and each other in class, so that really was a good motivator. She also taught outside the textbook and our lessons were based on discussing articles, literature, and video media from around the Spanish speaking world, which was cool because we got to learn vocabulary differences between European Spanish and Latin American Spanish (and even within Latin America there were some major differences). I still remember a lot of my Spanish today thanks to her teaching style.

Armand: wtf..

Armand: Gets 3/10

It's because that questions r not grammatically correct..

저도 방금 그렇게 느꼈어요ㅠ

They can most definitely read english. This test has nothing to do with speaking english so they most likely dont know how to pronounce each alphabetical letter and say a setence. Remember, never in this test was it a verbal test

Also you saying that they could put the time to better use is invalid as the main intention for them learning english may not be to communicate, but to read and understand english as english is written over almost every daily use items

Plus u only need to know super basic english to survive in the degenerate society we live in nowadays

they most likely do know how to communicate and use grammar, just dont know how to write or do extremely well with forming sentences. If you go to Korea, you most likely memorize terms and sentences, maybe a bit of formatting, but you dont really have to learn much besides that unless you go to school or work

What Max said is very true, except for in Korea. That Soonung (Korean SAT) test is unfortunately everything. It dictates their whole future and what university they can go to. The questions on that test are ridiculous. I have a Masters in TESOL, and I tried a bunch of questions from it. I barely got half of them correct. It's a test Korea needs to rethink and make it more like the English we use, and not the Korean/Japanese mathematical English they teach in Korea.

@@typhus1965 so true, not even half of those odd words (sounds like a words that came out from Harry potters movie) is usefull in daily life.
trust me, in my work place i use english daily basis, but that exam is just riddicullusly wierd.

Lmao I need to hear this before I move out of university

But the writing of exam is really poor even for academic writing standards. Writing like the one shown in the video is by no means good for academic publication.

But it’s not that the writing is super advanced or formal… it’s just plain wrong. It doesn’t make sense lol. You don’t want to be speaking gibberish in scientific essays.

I read only scientific papers in english, and my native language is not english. I have never seen one written like that.

@@mominabutt5021how is it wrong english tho? The first question, you just pick the sentence that gives you wrong info. All of it was correct English. And the second example about the “flow” was bit weird because like he said “what is the flow?” I thought “which sentence does not belong in this text?”which would be advertisements. But even tho English is my native language I would fail this exam as I wouldn’t be able to analyse the question’s meaning and the text’s meaning and answer all in approx. 1.5 minutes/question. These 2 questions alone took me 10 minutes. Idk…these don’t feel too different from actual essay questions I’ve gotten. But I feel bad Korean students are the ones doing these….why?

@@Denturess yeah man I feel the same, like they don’t seem wrong and by all of the rules English has they are valid sentences it but they are just, not even bad just wrong. This is like beyond the syntax wrong. My best guess is that someone wrote English perfectly but with Korean language meaning/mindset or something. Just a guess maybe it’s easier for Koreans to have it like this.

영어교육이 잘못되었다는 점에는 공감합니다. 다만, 수능 영어시험의 지문들안 실제 영어 서적들에서 발췌한 지문들입니다. 출제자들이 만든 것이 아니구요. 따라서 외국인들이 사용하지 않는 단어를 일부러 어렵게 꼬았다는 말은 적절치 않습니다.

아뇨. 수능 영어는 회화능력을 평가하는 시험이 아니죠. 준비하면서 키워지는 능력도 문제 해결 및 추론 능력, 독해력입니다. 본질적인 능력치를 올려주는 시험이기 때문에 오히려 대학에 가면 원서나 논문을 읽는데 큰 도움이 됩니다. 한국 학생들이 다 외국에 나가서 살 건가요?
자기 전공의 논문이나 원서를 잘 읽을 정도면 되지 않을까요?
애초에 한국에서 수능 영어 준비를 열심히 한 학생이라면 기본적인 대화는 가능합니다. 만약 회화실력을 더 키우고 싶다 하면 회화 학원도 많고 화상영어도 있는데 병행하면 될 일이죠.
그리고 문제의 지문은 학생들이 대학에 가서 수행할 능력이 있는지 보는 거기 때문에 모두 외국의 논문에서 발췌한 것들이지 따로 만든 지문들이 아니에요.

I just have to say though- I answered the first Korean question truthfully read all the sentences and answered number 3. Surprised I got it right. I think this test would be harder for people in Korea because English isn't their first language but if you were taught to learn and revise in this teaching style you could definitely ace a multiple question choice paper in 70 minutes. Question and exam paperd in the UK are never multiple choice.

I'm a non-native speaker of English and maybe "flow" isn't the best expression to pick in the eyes of a native speaker, but I get what they meant and found it quite obvious that the correct answer was number three. Did you read the question?

I laughed so hard at this 😂

😭

@@camelopardalis84 Looking it over again, I agree that question 3 must be the correct answer, but "flow" seems like it would refer to ease of readability. He kept getting caught up in the beginning because none of the sentences had good flow. A better question would replace the word "flow" with "topic".

The channel actually hand picks the most difficult questions from the exam, and giving the median time to answer them 1min/question.
In reality the test comprises of a lot of easy questions that can be answered within seconds. Thus even being wrong at all the complicated ones doesn’t immediately equate failing as it can be compensated by the easier ones.
Trust me, I’m currently attending college in SK and have lots of korean friends!

I agree. If you wanna learn how to speak and communicate in English, you should go abroad, not studying for the exam.
For English proficiency, IELTS is actually valid in my opinion. In fact, many people who have lived abroad understand what the problem is. So many educated Koreans are deciding to live abroad for educational purpose.
But the funny thing is, I found people tried to justify this problematic English exam. They are saying like "The exam tries to evaluate students' academic paper reading skills."
"The exam pursues on finding people who has high intelligence."
None of these arguments doesn't make sense.

It's the same thing here in Malaysia. The rigidly official English taught in middle schools are boring and most students who are fluent English speaker don't actually learned it from school. They learned from watching movies, listening to music or any hobby that is usually presented in English. I myself didn't learn English from school, it was boring and taught by mostly unqualified English teachers

@@nagnusyo that's interesting to note. An acquaintance of mine scored just average level of proficiency in the Malaysian English test. But she managed to be a top scorer in the IELTS in Malaysia and won monetary award.

Korean language will sound funny and strange if they are taught to speak it, because codeswitching is very much possible, like what we do here in the Philippines,
here, English is very much necessary for communication purposes, in preschool upto the end of elementary the rules are very strict compared to highschool to college, its necessary to speak in english only, if you speak in filipino or in any other filipino lang, they give you such creative punishments, like paying money everytime you talk in filipino or you're the badge holder 👀

I was thinking number 1 because it’s the only one that centers it’s subject on something other than humor itself/qualities of humor, and rather focuses on the example’s story and what reactions it evoked.

Looking back It (number 3) actually does make the most sense as it’s the only sentence that doesn’t focus around bonds between workers or a collective

its not about being incorrect its just way too unnecessary, even native speakers are struggling. that just shows how irrelevant it is and sometimes the sentences barely make sense and most answers are correct in one way or another

@@jcorrea6515 I literally did not understand the question properly so I focused on the English itself (as it's supposed to be an English test). 1 should have read "...at face value..." instead of "on its face"; 2 had the weird last few words "...and do not." added to the end, which doesn't flow properly either. Obviously I didn't understand what 'flow' we were even supposed to be looking at! :D

Really? What a shame, so true indeed what the students in the video said. It's ridiculous!

Whatt so it beats the purpose of actually teaching and making them learn English? Exams are so impractical huhu God bless and good luck to all Korean students out there, fighting!!

That's actually very similar with the exams to apply for uni in my country. Every subject has its own pattern, students can almost remember, for example, what question #15 would be about (it'd be a different question every year, but from exactly the same part of materials). I hate it so baaad it's really stressful but many people would probably pass the exams pure by luck.

In the Philippines, we study the English language so that we can apply it in our daily lives. Not only a means to pass your studies or get good grades. One can learn better if what we're learning in school is more practical and can be applied outside school. That's the point why we study right? I hope the Korean education system will be improved for the sake of the students, it might be frustrating for them.

I’m soo sorry for the students. Who made the exam pattern tho. I mean I don’t understand the objective of them making the exam like that. Even academic papers don’t use language like that. Even government budget plans don’t use this kind of language. Whyyyy

Nepal in the state that you even have a book to tell you the answer and coping the answers a praized more that writing it yourself,English is the only exam i have never studied for till this date , teachers predict the questions and its normally93% accurate. Its basically can you mug ut up at this point , not the thing that you would want for the betterment of your future

@@pierce9019 ayo no education system is that perfect but I'd say South Korea has much better tho we share the same pattern

This is why I think many of these exams and thus the education systems fail to teach students proper skills to navigate the world after graduating. Students have to spend hours learning these pattern which will not be very translatable to life skills. The exam is just not accurate in assessing the student's actual English skill. If the questions are geared towards testing the students' ability to say construct sentences that are precise and easy to understand, writing passages that sounds graceful, comprehend older literature etc, those will be very useful.

We have a similar test here in Texas that you have to take every year, but starting in 2nd grade it starts to count as an actual grade. We’re tested on reading, writing, math, science and history. A lot of times for the reading and writing I would do the same thing to to the part of the passage that the question was sending me to. 🤣

Ohhh that's why! I'm from India and in our country we are made to write 120-150 words answer of a question given which test our grammatical, vocabulary and how we express ourselves

yeah generally for non-native speakers it’s simpler. that’s why when immigrants come to the US they question why the curriculum is so easy compared to their place back home. 😭 i’m going for nigerians because that’s what i’m but they make me feel extra stupid when they come to america and understand things so easily. i’ve even noticed this with indian immigrants they make you feel like you’re failing and it’s literally a secondary language to them. 😭 it’s really crazy.

English is my primary language but I could also understand the questions pretty well. I’m in college though and have a lot of practice reading dense research papers. Maybe when it’s your native language, you’re used to barely having to focus to understand so it’s difficult without practice to focus more? Versus with a second language, you’ve always put more focus into it.

As a Foreigner, after learning 12 years of English I can confirm that these SAT tests are absolute cringe and useless in teaching you anything of use in life. One is better off reading off of comic strips found in an abandoned run down bathroom. No wonder the general skill level of foreigners is so pathetic.

@@ezenwanyi3756 Tbf when speaking of the American curriculum its really easy to British people too 😂 American education is extra easy.

You don’t need to these tests are so confusing to learn English. But you can do it!

@@AdelaideStJohn thank you 😊

인정이요 저도 영어를 유창하게 잘하고 싶지 어려운 문제 풀기는 싫어요ㅋㅋ

As a native English speaker, the English on this exam is incorrect. Please do not follow this exam and how it uses English. Someone said it correct earlier, it shows you how to read English, not to properly speak it or understand.

I'm not even that good at English tests here (usa) and its my native language lol

Bro this is what i did with my friends on an actual exam hahah

Its not cheating. Its team work. 😁😁

This is a team exam

맞아요ㆍ정확한 지적입니다

I agree. That's why I always tell my students (in Malaysia) that doing well in ur English exam =/= fluent in the language. You might be good in theory, but if you don't actually practice speaking it, there's literally no use to the theory

Not necessarily. Problem with Korean English is that a lot of Koreans are conservative and shy ppl and lack of confidence when it comes to speaking. As soon as they overcome these issues, they’re extremely well spoken.

I agree too. I was chatting with my friend that is a student in Korea and she not necessarily have the best grammer and vocabulary all those. But when she show me her English homework I was shocked because I had a difficult time understand it

yes it is ridiculous!! their English tests are so much harder than ours here in Sweden yet Sweden is top 2 of the countries with the best english for second language. Like why why are those tests so hard if most of them have a problem speaking English in the first place? It's like they have to study word association instead of the actual language that people use. I feel bad for them :(

Ikr😂 But that's true,non-native speakers like me learn more English ,I mean the way that sounds natural and not forced by exposure to cinema,music rather than through textbooks.

저런 영어시험은 영어라는 언어를 배우기 보단 문제풀기 위한 논리력이 필요해서 그런 것 같아요 그래도 단어는 많이 외워서 좋을 듯

회화시험으로 치면 변별력내기도 애매하고 객관식으로 내야하는데 문제내기도 애매하고 ㅋㅋ유학파아니면 답이없어져요 애초에 수능영어의 목적은 영어로 작성된 글을 유기적으로 잘해석하고 응용하는거에요..

그래도 요즘학생들은 전체적으로 회화도 잘하는것 같아요~
옛날하곤 다른것 같아요^^
고3화이팅!!

사실상 논문읽는걸 위주로 보는 시험이죠.. 대학에선 필수로 요구하는 부분이니까 참고 하는수밖에 없네요 ㅠㅠ 올해 고3입니다

저런 것들 다 외국어 논문에서 가져오는데 우리도 한국어 논문 이해 못하잖아 ㅋㅋㅋ 그런거야

유럽이나 미국은 토론 위주의 수업이라서 한국 학생들은 맨날 받아들이기만 하느라 스스로 생각을 못 하는 반면 쟤네는 떠올리는 습관이 되어있나봐요. 우리나라도 얼른 토론위주의 교육으로 바꿔나가야해요... 그래야 주도적인 사람들이 되고, 남이 비판을하면 반박할 생각은 못 하고 버럭버럭 화만 내는 병크가 안 일어나죠.

Time to follow them to Uni LOL

Most already graduated their school just has their own sixth form attached to it

It’s not just slang though, it’s sentence structure and passage comprehension in general.

@@shuipaii9102 yeah ik

@@shuipaii9102 especially regional words like summat haha, I remember coming to the west midlands from Croatia and being so perplexed by all these new words I had to listen out for. Luckily I'm pretty rooted in England and their slang nowadays thanks to my daughter but wow was that exhausting 😅😅

I think these kids were confused because they're not intelligent. It should be easy for you, as a native english speaker to complete this test. It's funny to me Americans get called uneducated, yet these dolts can't complete this.

@@gamegeekage I’m sorry to say but, most Americans would not be able to comprehend even a sentence in any of the two passages shown. This is coming from a non native American who lived here for 20 years. I’ve learned, taken tests, and studied with Americans, and the level of English they teach here is getting easier and easier because students can’t pass it. The difference isn’t intelligence, rather the way of teaching. Places with English as the native language will have more difficulty than non English speakers because natives mostly learn English by being spoken to. As generations have passed, slangs are created in the language, spoken to the children, and that’s what they learn. They create shortcuts in sentence structures while non natives are taught “proper” English structures which sounds more “formal.” These kids most likely struggled because they’re “native” speakers. Non English countries teach English strictly because that is what they expect English to be and they cannot catch up with the slangs created. I moved here when I was 10, but when I arrived, everything that they were teaching from my grade to three grades after were things I’ve already learned from my native country. From science labs, English, and math…other countries are just more advanced in teaching
