Teacher here and his advice at the end is true. I teach 13-15 year old students entering high school, and I try to instill the idea that we try hard, and sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't. How we handle things when it doesn't will truly define who we become as people and our success in life. You can tell that he is a good headmaster from his interactions and advice. Love your videos!
Love his final words.❤ Don’t let this one test define who you are. Get a good night of sleep and go in with a positive mindset. And if there’s a difficult question, don’t let it derail you for the rest of the exam. Take a deep breath and blow it out slowly. You got this!
As someone who got an 8 (strong A) in English Language GCSE, and is now taking both English Language and English Literature A-Level...I'm never moving to Korea. This paper seems to test general knowledge rather than comprehension of English lol like that graph question looked like something I'd get on a maths paper. Honestly, my takeaway from this is that you might as well be reading a collection of snippets from Masters level research papers!
this is the case for most top cities in Asia the english papers and most other subjects ranging from history to physics are testing your skills at taking the exam rather than learning actual knowledge. tbh as someone who has lived tht life i dont regret or think that bad of it, it taught me discipline whilst my creative thinking side I nurtured on my own elsewhere
''you might as well be reading a collection of snippets from Masters level research papers'' That is pretty much the objective of the test. Most Koreans don't really use English that much unless you are reading legal documents, advanced textbooks, and research papers. Besides learning speaking English in like elementary and early middle school, they just concentrate on reading comprehension for the purpose I mentioned.
It might sound like half a compliment half not but I am back for non-food content for this channel🎉❤ I do love the food, like I do for the Jolly channel but it got a bit too narrow and repetitive in terms of themes. Glad we are seeing other stuff too^^ love the channel still and the hard work they put in!
true but if they are doing food content again, i would love to see they go to deeper parts of korea to showcase more tradiitional korean dishes based on the province or regional area.
i have started to feel the same about the Jolly channel too actually. like the videos they would make in their studio back then were so much more fun. ollie with his crazy ideas and all...they were so creative and fun. now its just all food. i mean i would still watch them but u know it feels like its the same thing over and over again.
I would love to see this done with a University Professor at some point, maybe someone from Oxford or something. A lot of the passages they use for SAT seems to come from university level papers, so maybe someone who reads similar papers regularly can tell us if it's actually reasonable for high schoolers to be able to solve them within given time.
truthfully the the sat for english is ridiculous they never test for mastery but for memory...i used to train koreans for delta airlines these people are graduate but struggle using simple english

I just want to give a shout out to who ever it is on your team that does the translations. Translating those passages into Korean must have been like sitting their own mini SAT all over again. As an English teacher in Korea, I can emphatically state NONE of these questions are standard basic English. I had to help some kids prepare for this test, and I struggled to understand what was being asked. The questions seemed to be straight from an economics doctorate level text / research paper!
@@yangrepositorybkupman sadly, from what I've seen, learning English is not the goal of the Korean English education system. If it were, after 9 years of study, the students would be fluent. No, the goal of the entire 9 years of "English study" seems to be to pass this exam.
As an English degree graduate, this was amazing! This is intentional deception. This is meant for the students to parce through the information, and find the core of the question to find an answer. I found this fun. It feels similar to a puzzle.
Surprisingly got everything correct coming from an Indian background. It actually didn't feel that confusing at all. But I don't expected everyone to grasp it so quickly, I feel this basically tests speed reading and reading comprehension. But then again I am a Physicist, and this felt more like logical reasoning.
as someone from the Netherlands where English isn't spoken as the first language I agree with you. I got everything correct. I think these questions were more about reading comprehension, like you said, instead of testing your knowledge on English. Although of course you should have the basics of English down to answer the questions
It's the same in Vietnam. Most of fancy things we learned will barely be put into use unless we pursue very specific fields, or higher degrees in another country, but we did learn so hard to pass the exam
I mean that’s the point right? Highly advanced tests to sort students into top universities? As far as I remember (as a fresh high school graduate, mind you), most other exams aren’t that difficult for the average student. If you’re talking about education as a whole, then yes there’s a million different ways it can be improved. The higher education culture there is also relevant, but I’d argue the SAT (maybe not KSAT, but they are really similar from what I can see) fulfill its job well.
So grateful that English wasn't even a subject I could choose, and even though I chose to do English Literature, the A levels for that was just essay writing.
Whenever I hear about these types of exams, I can only think that it'd make me want to study abroad. Learn English well enough to do one of these, be decent in math, and you're going to be able to get a high score on the SAT and ACT exams in the U.S. and get into a mid- to high-tier school, probably with scholarships. No idea how it is in UK schools, but I'd imagine with good academic records it'd be doable. Not to mention whatever other countries one might be interested in throughout the world.
By happenstance, Josh knew Dave and introduced his students to korean food and culture, their personalities and popularity earned them a trip to South Korea
I LOVE Mr. Smith. Not only is he funny and seems nice, but also he has a lot of great perspectives on education and life... Then his love for food matches no other! Please please please do a series on him. Take him to Korea or to here in the US!
Mr. Smith's tirade about the word "happenstance" at 3:51 immediately made me think of the song Fortuosity sung by Tommy Steele in the 1967 Disney live action film "The Happiest Millionaire". It has a line that uses that word - "Fortuosity, lucky chances, Fortuitious little happy happenstances".
You guys should do the American SAT and ACT. We take the SAT at the end of Sophomore year and the ACT around senior year. The scores on them don’t really count towards anything but colleges like when you take them as it’s a good indicator of your level. Most universities actually have a minimum SAT score that you should keep an eye on. Earning 2600 is the perfect score and schools will be clamoring for you to go them. Unfortunately very few students ever get it as maybe one every year gets it. The students that score high are usually science and English program students. Getting AP or gifted is no guarantee of doing well on those tests. The SAT requires a lot of vocabulary skills as every year a new guide is published with new words you need to memorize and understand.

The sticky rice thing in Korea is quite interesting. Cause here in the Philippines, I have remembered that before taking my board exam, we were instructed to do this tradition. Which is also eating sticky rice for us to pass our boards.
I've always been aware of the insane amount of pressure students in Asia faced when trying to get into uni, but now as I study the SQE I feel like I understand how exactly debilitating studying for exams that are designed to trip you up are 😭
This hits home to me as someone who grew up in East Asia. I remember how studying was all I ever did/cared about, so I paid zero attention to developing my self-esteem, hobbies and other skills. Everything was about getting into a top university. And when I finally did it, the next milestone was to graduate with decent grades. When I graduated and finally got to decide what I wanted to do, I felt like a 3-year-old child thrown in at the deep end. Although I excelled at school, many of my less academic peers who spent time developing their hobbies, confidence and interpersonal skills are seeing much better success in the conventional sense of the term. I have to spend a lot more time making up for what I neglected in childhood.

This is like when you are asked to write a book report and you do it quickly and easily on half a page and are then told it needs to be at least 4 pages, so you go back in and try to stretch it out as much as possible inserting words that arent needed. Thats this whole test. This test is the reason so many people are afraid to speak in english, and lack conversational/listening skills. They are too busy trying to learn this test and not actual english. Sad day. I pity the korean student. You have my pity. Dont give up on english. You may not pass this test, but you can still learn to speak english better than anyone who passes this test, without it.
That's some crap right there....no wonder the suicide rate is so dang high!!! That's just pitiful....half of those questions are just to mix you up and confuse you!!😢 Bless them All....🙏🕊💜
Honestly had to fast forward thru the questions, because they made my head hurt 😆 but the words by Mr. Smith at the end ring so true. My parents were so strict about grades and tests and college, they thought they were the end-all, be-all for my future life and now I’m a stay at home mom 🙃 teacher in my former days. Hope to eventually get back to the classroom, but it’s the best decision we made as a family. I’m proud of everything I worked so hard for, but I don’t push my kids as hard as my parents pushed me. It’s not worth the stress. Btw my husband is very successful in his business, very hard working and barely finished 2-year college. 😉
Happenstance is a word of North American origin meaning, "coincidence" and is a blend of the words, happen and circumstance (yes, other than the definition, I had to look up ㅋㅋㅋ)
What's super sad about this being the big exam students study for means they don't really study anything but reading comprehension. I also studied English as a foreign language in school in a non-anglophone country (but not Korea) and our final years of school are also a lot of essay production, like the headmaster for British students too. You need to understand literature and articles for essay writing (so reading comprehension) *and* you have to write essays, so you've got at least two areas of foreign language learning covered and it actually prepares you for what might be expected of you in university. My country is by no means perfect at teaching English, but seeing this makes me feel very sad for Korean students because this exam is so hard and must be so stressful but it's only difficult for difficulty's sake. If you must make an exam multiple choice for reading comprehension, you can always make it difficult on an academic level, but not in a way that is intentionally trying to trick you. For example, I took TOEFL recently and the format for reading was kind of new to me because like I said I was only really used to essay questions and such, but I still scored really high because if you know English, it's easily doable because it's not intentionally trying to trick you.
I think the thing with most Asian education systems is they focus too much on multiple choices. They trained students to do multiple choices, then once they got in uni (or apply for studying abroad) boom, essays, researches, reports, thesis, etc. And many aren't prepared for that so they have no idea how to write one
Honestly, based on the questions in the video, it wasn't as hard as I tought it would be. On all the questions for which we got the answer here, I got only 2 wrong and English is not even my first language. But I guess those were part of the easiest questions in the exam, so it's still pretty hard for a non-native speaker (even worse with the time limit). Good luck to all koreans who will take this test.
This is the kind of test that is used here in Texas to start testing students from elementary 3rd graders to high school students in the 12th grade. However, they are taught on how to decipher certain coats within the paragraphs in order to get the answers to the questions. They are also taught how to decode and eliminate non useful information.

As a 53-year-old neurodivergent who wants to do my PGCE to become a teacher. I am currently studying to do my GCSE's in English and maths, and I have to say that studying for those 2 GCSE's, is far harder than when I did my master's degree.

수능날 찾아오는 추위보다 누구보다 간절하게 준비한 본인의 노력과 끈기가 더 뜨거우니 너무 걱정 말고 세웠던 계획대로 임하면 분명 좋은 결과가 나올 거예요!
The sticky rice thing in Korea is quite interesting. Cause here in the Philippines, I have remembered that before taking my board exam, we were instructed to do this tradition. Which is also eating sticky rice for us to pass our boards.
Interesting to know that we have many things in common!
I've always been aware of the insane amount of pressure students in Asia faced when trying to get into uni, but now as I study the SQE I feel like I understand how exactly debilitating studying for exams that are designed to trip you up are 😭
This hits home to me as someone who grew up in East Asia. I remember how studying was all I ever did/cared about, so I paid zero attention to developing my self-esteem, hobbies and other skills. Everything was about getting into a top university. And when I finally did it, the next milestone was to graduate with decent grades. When I graduated and finally got to decide what I wanted to do, I felt like a 3-year-old child thrown in at the deep end. Although I excelled at school, many of my less academic peers who spent time developing their hobbies, confidence and interpersonal skills are seeing much better success in the conventional sense of the term. I have to spend a lot more time making up for what I neglected in childhood.
대한민국 교육은 잘못되었다고생각한다 유치원부터 정말 아이들도힘들고 부모님도 힘들다 바뀌어야 할부분이 많다
대한민국 교육이 잘못됐다기보단 서양애들이 영어권에서 태어난게 행운인거지. 우리가 회화보다 복잡한 문법위주의 교육을 할수밖에 없는건 대학교에 진학해서 어려운 영어 원서나 논문보고 공부해야 하는 상황이 많은 현실때문임. 특히 상위권 대학일수록 말이지.. 만약에 한국이 세계 패권국가고 한글이 전세계 공용어 지위였다면 쟤들이 한국 고등학생들 영어공부 하는것처럼 한글 문법 공부해야하는 상황이었을거임.
아니...변별력을 가리는게 시험인데 쉬우면 다 서울대가게..수능영어는 그 자체로 수능임...종합적인 감각을 평가하는것임..영어뿐 아니라 총체적인 이해력을 평가하는것.. 쉽게 나와서 만점자 속출하면 난이도 조절못했다고 난리남..수능 영어는 감각과 연습 공보가 병행되어야 하는거임..
수능영어 잘한다고 원서 잘읽는다?ㅋㅋ 변별력? 축구선수 뽑는데 리프팅 갯수로 뽑는 코미디지
this was a fun video! i really like the headmaster
Woohoo. Complete new videos back on KE channel!
Mr. Smith is one of my favorite guests you’ve ever had on KE or Jolly 😊

This is like when you are asked to write a book report and you do it quickly and easily on half a page and are then told it needs to be at least 4 pages, so you go back in and try to stretch it out as much as possible inserting words that arent needed. Thats this whole test. This test is the reason so many people are afraid to speak in english, and lack conversational/listening skills. They are too busy trying to learn this test and not actual english. Sad day. I pity the korean student. You have my pity. Dont give up on english. You may not pass this test, but you can still learn to speak english better than anyone who passes this test, without it.
병맛같은 한국 수능영어는 30년이 지나도 그대로임..
그렇게치면 수능과목중 병맛아닌과목이 뭐냐?ㅋㅋ

That's some crap right there....no wonder the suicide rate is so dang high!!! That's just pitiful....half of those questions are just to mix you up and confuse you!!😢
Bless them All....🙏🕊💜
i love the headmaster responces
진짜 너무 챙피하네요 😂
아직 보기 전인데 무슨 내용인지 알것 같아서 ㅎㅎ
한국어로 해석된 자막을 읽어도 저언혀 이해가 안되는 지문으로 '영어'테스트를 한다는게 참😂
내년엔 영어 일타강사선생님을 게스트로 초대해서 수능 스킬을 배워보는 컨텐츠도 재밌을것 같아요!ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 수능은 유형별로 확실히 푸는 스킬이 있으니까요😅
Honestly had to fast forward thru the questions, because they made my head hurt 😆 but the words by Mr. Smith at the end ring so true. My parents were so strict about grades and tests and college, they thought they were the end-all, be-all for my future life and now I’m a stay at home mom 🙃 teacher in my former days. Hope to eventually get back to the classroom, but it’s the best decision we made as a family. I’m proud of everything I worked so hard for, but I don’t push my kids as hard as my parents pushed me. It’s not worth the stress. Btw my husband is very successful in his business, very hard working and barely finished 2-year college. 😉
Happenstance is a word of North American origin meaning, "coincidence" and is a blend of the words, happen and circumstance (yes, other than the definition, I had to look up ㅋㅋㅋ)
This is the first ever Korean Englishman video that's made me zone out with my eyes glazed over
All the very best of luck to all the students who will be taking the test!!!
And that last statement is why Mr Smith is a great educator.
Wow.. It's been a long time Mr. Smith.😆😆☺️
My mother was an English teacher growing up and even I got some of these wrong. Take every question right as a victory.
What's super sad about this being the big exam students study for means they don't really study anything but reading comprehension. I also studied English as a foreign language in school in a non-anglophone country (but not Korea) and our final years of school are also a lot of essay production, like the headmaster for British students too. You need to understand literature and articles for essay writing (so reading comprehension) *and* you have to write essays, so you've got at least two areas of foreign language learning covered and it actually prepares you for what might be expected of you in university. My country is by no means perfect at teaching English, but seeing this makes me feel very sad for Korean students because this exam is so hard and must be so stressful but it's only difficult for difficulty's sake. If you must make an exam multiple choice for reading comprehension, you can always make it difficult on an academic level, but not in a way that is intentionally trying to trick you.
For example, I took TOEFL recently and the format for reading was kind of new to me because like I said I was only really used to essay questions and such, but I still scored really high because if you know English, it's easily doable because it's not intentionally trying to trick you.
1-1.5 minutes per question 🤔 it'd take me at least 3 to read it !
I think the thing with most Asian education systems is they focus too much on multiple choices. They trained students to do multiple choices, then once they got in uni (or apply for studying abroad) boom, essays, researches, reports, thesis, etc. And many aren't prepared for that so they have no idea how to write one
To those taking KSAT 화이팅! I’m taking the topik 1 exams this Sunday and it’s nothing like this so my prayers are with you 🙏🏼🫶🏼
그럼 저는 영국남자 응원하겠습니다! ㅎㅎ
저도 수능세대고 영어전공자이지만 25년이 지난 지금도 우리나라 수능은 미친짓이다 ‼
우리나라 수능생들 다 화이팅🎉
모국어 쓰는 사람도 못푸는 문제를 수십년동안 안바꾸는게 이해가 안간다 저걸 우리 학생들이 풀어 맞추는게 대단하네
Honestly, based on the questions in the video, it wasn't as hard as I tought it would be. On all the questions for which we got the answer here, I got only 2 wrong and English is not even my first language. But I guess those were part of the easiest questions in the exam, so it's still pretty hard for a non-native speaker (even worse with the time limit). Good luck to all koreans who will take this test.
It's harder because you have to solve it quickly. 60seconds for one problem
This is the kind of test that is used here in Texas to start testing students from elementary 3rd graders to high school students in the 12th grade. However, they are taught on how to decipher certain coats within the paragraphs in order to get the answers to the questions. They are also taught how to decode and eliminate non useful information.
영상에 나온 문제는 1% 똑똑한 학생들을 변별하려는 난이도 극악 문제들만 골라온 거고, 전체 문제가 다 저런 식은 아님. 전체 문제를 보면 그냥 맨 앞 2~ 3줄만 읽어도 답 나오는 쉬운 문제들도 많아서 저런 어려운 문제만 보고 전체가 다 저런 문제만 있는 것으로 보면 안 된다. 쉬운 문제는 10초 컷으로 끝내고 저런 어려운 문제를 푸는데 더 많은 시간을 할애할 수 있음.
You think these SATs are difficult you should take a look at some of the transfer (편입) english exams. Chungang university ones are CRAZY HARD
ohh look at the pics on frame behind mr. smith ❤️
영어 모국인 사람도 못맞추는 문제를 만점받는 애들은 진짜.....
mind everyone, the headmaster is BLOODY NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER
no way in hell those exams are practical
The challenge in these exams is how wordy the paragraphs are.

As a 53-year-old neurodivergent who wants to do my PGCE to become a teacher. I am currently studying to do my GCSE's in English and maths, and I have to say that studying for those 2 GCSE's, is far harder than when I did my master's degree.
