A devilishly difficult exam question given to Turkish students 

It's been a while since my last upload, I abandoned a couple of videos that I wasn't happy with but I think i'm back on track now. Thanks for sticking around, more videos to come soon :) P.S. There are Turkish subtitles available for this video - just click the settings wheel at the bottom of the video. I am also aware of a mistake at 1:50 and have been informed by many comments that students only have to answer 80 of the questions.

Artık sınavlarımız da meşhur oluyor ama yine iyi bir şeyle değil...

"Elinde sadece siyah kalem var ama gökkuşağı yarat." Türk eğitim sisteminin özeti adeta.

"Hesap makinesi kullanılmadan bulunmasını istiyor" cümledeki acı gerçek :(

May god help Turkish, Indian and South Korean students

Soruları biz yayınlarsak yasak hatta dava acılır.dikkat et ÖSYM dava acmasın.😂😂

Yabancılar bile bizim durumumuza üzülüyor bizim insanlar ise tembelsiniz diyor.

Keşke şuan yorumlarda İngilizce bir şekilde "Türk öğrencilerine başarılar diliyorum bizde böyle bir sınav yok" diyenlerden olsaydım, coğrafya kaderdir..

Public: Japan has the hardest education system in the world. Turkey: Hold my Yks

Vay anasını be, dramımıza tüm dünya şahit olmuş

" Hesap makinesi kullanılmadan bulunması isteniyor..." her şeyi açıklıyordur sanırım🤷‍♂️

Yorumlardan biri bu problemi çözmek icin 180 dk. harcadığını söylüyor. Ama biz 120 soruyu sadece 2 saat 15 dk. da çözmeliyiz. Gerçkten iğrenç bir hayat. Neyse ben tekrardan matematik çalışmaya gidiyorum 👋

What teacher solves in the class: I have 5 apples and I ate 3 of them so how many apples do I have now? What we see in exams: I have 5 apples and I ate 3 of them. Since the acceleration of the 3 apples I ate is 99.9% of the speed of light in the empty space, find how many microseconds that it takes to the Earth to rotate around the Sun and write on the second apple that I didn't ate with a marker that is different from the other 975 markers. (Marker must be black and it's random)

The worst part is, we are unemployed until the end, no matter how hard we try. Thank you so much for making our voices heard...

The two things missing in the Turkish education system are education and the system.

Yabancılarda işi çözdü Türkiye ile ilgili bir video çekip milyonlarca hit alıyorlar

Yks sınavımız her yıl Squid game gibi.Ama bizde kan yok...Hani film ve dizilerde "Onu Canlı İstiyorum" derler ya haa işte biz oyuz

Fun fact: If you are a foreigner student who wants to study in Turkey. The questions you'll strugle with will be 100 times easier. Welcome to Turkey!

This isn't an exam at all, it's just torture

Alanında bir yerlere gelmiş bu kadının bile soruyu çözerken birilerine danışma gerekliliği duyması çok şeyi açıklıyor.

You should take a look at LGS too, it's the exam that every child takes when they have graduated from middle school. And it's very very hard. In fact a math question from lgs this year was actually taken from the University exam of turkey which is weird. They're literally forcing students to solve university level questions at age 13-14

I took this exam with all the other students. It was incredibly hard and also has a time limit put in place so you can't even go down many avenues before time runs out. This is an exam for 12th graders, it felt like the Olympics.

Hilarious part of this exam, they give you just 2 minute per every question.

finally AYT is competing on Champions League of the hardest exams , beline kuvvet aslanım kimse seni deviremez

Sizin lisede gördüğünüz matematiği biz ortaokul 2.sınıfta görüyoruz.. :")

peki bu kadar zor bir sınavın döneminde gençler zamanını nasıl mı geçindiriyor? -Okulda 8 saat kalıp hiçbir şey yapmadan eve gelmek -( Fransızca ,ingilizce, beden ,resim,drama ...)derslerini görmek "sanata önem verilmiş gibi görünse de dersler bos geciyor" -Sınav stresi yetmiyormuş gibi bir de yazılı haftası var bunun sözlüsünü ,performansını ,projesini saymıyorum bile... -Sınav zamanına kadar sadece matematikten 5 kaynak 55 deneme çözüp sınavda 18 net yapma psikojisi -Ve kendine ,ailene,arkadaşlarına ayıracak vakitlerin olmayışı

The bad thing is that even after solving these questions, you are unemployed.

Haftada 48 saat ders görüyoruz ne Almanca ne İngilizce ne de başka bir dil konuşabiliyoruz. Bizim eğitim sistemimiz sınavlarla, onların eğitim sistemi öğrenmeye hazırlıyor. Sonuç ne adam gibi öğrenebiliyoruz ne de sınavlardan düzgün sonuç alıyoruz. Koca bir çöp kutusundan başka bir şey değil..

Comments shows us that turkish students are dying. They want to be noticed. Thanks for that video it will be good for thia purpose

Bu kızı izlemeyen Türklerin Önerilenlerine şu önümüzdeki günlerde hep karşılarına çıkacak ve bu video 2+ milyon izlenmeye ulaşıcak... Hayırlı olsun Türkler tarafından işgal edilecek yeni yabancı kanal hayırlı olsun...

Bazı yabancılar soruları beğenmişler hatta kendi ülkelerinde de bu tarz zor soruları sorulmasını istemişler. Anlamadıkları konu ise evet sorular zor ve gayet yerinde ama Türkiye'deki eğitim sistemi bu zor soruları rahat çözmemizi sağlayacak şekilde kaliteli değil.

As a Turkish student this is embarrassing for us. Even if I am an English literature student I have to solve 40 hard math question. What a shame

Indians : we have the toughest exams Meanwhile Turkey

Fun Fact: You can't go to bathroom during those 2+ hours exams. Some students really consider wearing diapers just in case. Also you need to solve calculus to enter law school

FINALLY THE QUEEN HERSELF SHE HAS NOTICED OUR PAIN

AYT is on of the second stages of the whole YKS system. The first stage is TYT (Temel Yeterlik Testi - Fundamental Proficiency Test) and it consists of 120 questions to be answered in 135 minutes. The content of the test is as follows: Turkish Language - 40 questions History - 5 Questions Geography - 5 Questions Philosophy - 5 Questions Religion - 5 Questions Maths - 40 Questions Physics - 7 Questions Chemistry - 7 Questions Biology - 6 Questions All questions are weighed equally in scoring and make up a score type called TYT. There two second stage tests: (1) AYT (Alan Yeterlik Testi - Field Proficiency Test), which is used for 3 other score types and (2) YDT (Yabancı Dil Testi - Foreign Language Test), which is used for a 5th score type. The score types are made up of 40% TYT and 60% AYT/YDT. The Score Types are as follows TYT - 100% TYT tests - Used for associate degree programs. SAY (SAYISAL)(Maths & Science) - Used for undergraduate programs which primarily focus on mathematics and science: The medicinal programs (medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, nursery etc), engineering programs, science and research programs, mathematics and statistics programs, etc. SÖZ (SÖZEL)(Social Sciences) - Used for undergraduate programs which primarily focus on social sciences and literature: History, Geography (???), Religion, Communication, Public Relations, Advertisement, Cinema, Media, Gastronomy (???), etc. EA (EŞİT AĞIRLIKLI)(Equally Weighted Language and Mathematics) - Used for undergraduate programs which primarily focus on literature and mathematics: Business, Economics, Law, Psychology (???), Philosophy (???), Politics (???), etc. DİL (YABANCI DİL)(Foreign Languages) - Used for undergraduate programs which primarily focus on foreign languages: Literature (English, German, French, Arabic, Persian, Korean, Japan, China), Translation, Teaching, Tourist Guidance etc. Among AYT's the four tests, combinations of two tests, are used for three score types and those score types determine your eligibility for a certain majors. For instance, SAY (which short for SAYISAL, which is equivalent of SCIENCE and MATH) is scored according to your success in MATHS and SCIENCE tests, both of which have 40 questions. Thus, if you are a SAY student, you are supposed to solve 80 questions in 180 minutes. The three score types for AYT and their compatible tests are as follows: SAY - SAYISAL - MATHS (40) & SCIENCE (40) SÖZ - SÖZEL - SOCIAL SCIENCE (40) & LITERATURE (40) EA - EŞİT AĞIRLIKLI - MATHS (40) & LITERATURE (40) DİL score type's second stage requirement is YDT (Foreign Language Test), which consists of 80 questions and 120 minutes are provided for answering. As you can see some undergraduate programs under the EA score type has little to do with mathematics and literature. That's why the literature test also contains HISTORY and GEOGRAPHY sub-tests, within those 40 questions. As there are further more questions in the social science test, SÖZ students solve different sets of HISTORY and GEOGRAPHY tests, all with the same curricular content. (I know it sounds stupid, but that's how it is in our country.) If you go further into the final score computation process, you'll have much more fun. A regular student with average mathematics knowledge and skills cannot compute his/her score without aid. In most cases, even the regular school counselor cannot make those computations and is forced to use external websites. The most horrific of all, as you can see above, some score types and the undergraduate programs matched with them, are not always in line with each other. For example, if you want to go for psychology major, you are supposed to solve Turkish Literature, History, Geography and Mathematics but not psychology and sociology. Same goes for archaeology. Moreover, in order to be an archaeologist, you are not supposed to know science, according to the exam and past year statistics. When the placement of students end, each university and program is listed with the lowest scored enrollment and this score is called TABAN PUAN (BASE SCORE) for that specific program in that university. Those lists are used by the following years candidates to make their placement preference lists. Among the universities with the highest archaeology base scores, the highest number of points in the science test, which has 20 questions in TYT, is 6 and average in the country is 1,41 for archaeology students. I mean archaeology, you know, that science branch. '\/¨ \/` All in all, the system lacks intellectual, realistic, prudential and reasonable qualities and as if this is not enough, what the questions are used to test is not obvious. The future doctor, physicist, computer engineer and architect are tested with the same set of questions and evaluated with the same criteria. I hope, today's youth, will make changes in the future, for their children; because we have failed terribly.

Buraya bile düşmüşüz nasıl bir sınava denk geldik ya 🤦‍♂️

this exam just made me be grateful for the exams that my country gives

In Turkish exams, there are questions similar to this question and often more difficult than this question. Turkish students have to solve questions like this every year and this is a huge stress for them.I would like you to solve the questions in this kind of Turkish exam system My only request from you is to create more videos of the solutions to these questions asked in Turkey. (By the way, even if Turkish students win university by solving these questions, they cannot find a job after graduating from university.)

Doğduğum güne geri dönebilseydim ve Türkiye'de doğduğumu öğrenseydim, kordonu boğazıma bağlardım... Teşekkürler Türkiye

When u guys were having fun and partying in High-School. Us Turkish students cried out loud and studied for this exam

o kadar acınası bir durumdayız ki arkadaslar... Hakkım sonuna kadar haram olsun

Neden Türkiye'de doğduk ki biz 17 yaşımda 70 yaşında hissediyorum

feels bad we are talking about a 2+ million people are just screwed by the exam and they've been focusing on it like 4 years...

“ … without using a calculator “ u guys are able to use them in these kind of entrance exams ?? 🗿

Konuşması çok rahatlatıcı soruları anlamasam da dinliyorum şu an

As a highschool student , studying an american curriculum in turkey , I must state that these questions are sheer torture not only because of how difficult they are but also due to our horrible education and how math is portrayed in our education

Thank you for this video, I am glad the rest of the world sees how strange the exam system is in Turkey. And also, in Turkey, even if you have the most beautiful voice, even if you can draw just like a picasso, even if you can write meaningful and excellent poems, no matter how talented you are, if you are bad in maths, you fail in life in Turkey

Soruyu bile hatırlamayan 2021 tayfaya selam olsun. Mezuna bırakanlara da geçmiş olsun dilekleri. Onlardan biri de benim

They are killing our youth with is exam. I am 17 and i am crying almost every night because of this exam.

turkish education is much more harder than the european ones as i saw

I’m a foreigner student in Turkey and my Turkish is not very good. Schools here are really hard and very complicated. We take these 2 “tyt and ayt” exams every 2 weeks. The amount of the pressure is unbelievable🥲 my Turkish friends themselves find Turkish literature hard….. I cannot “can” imagine having a Turkish paragraph question for a math question….. amazing system 🥲🥲

Onların üniversitede gördüğü konuları biz lisede görüyoruz. Kore'de de öyle. Onlarda az da olsa işe yarıyor, bizimki hiçbir b.ka yaramıyor.

ARTIK ULUSLARARASI ALANDA REZİL OLDUK, EMEĞİ GEÇENLERE TEŞEKKÜRLER...

As a Turkish person who really studied for this exact exam, I can confirm that as public school students we weren't prepared for these kind of questions at all. They never taught us pigeonhole principle. Never. I was literally shaking during this exam because it was far above our curriculum level. (idk about anyone else but this question was actually one of the several questions I could actually solve) They really screwed us over. In fact just seeing this questions triggered me, you know in Turkey, the university exam is *everything* Now even tough I studied hard my whole high school years, I am in a place I never wanted to be in. As soon as I saw these questions I just froze and my hands started shaking. They wasted my young years...

Seeing AYT questions on this channel just shows how hard this years entrance exams were LMAO

I also studied abroad in Austria. Now I am an university student here in Turkey. Moreover, I attended to the exam, which was introduced in the video, last year. According to my observations and experience, it is much more harder to pass the university exam here. You have to study for a long time. The worst part here is that in schools students are not teached how to solve questions similar to these ones. It is more about memorizing formulas and using them in the exams. Furthermore, İt is seen as a vital exam and opportunity for a better future. Therefore, families spend lots of money to provide better education conditions for their children. İf you want to enter a good university you have to be in a great rank. In my opinion, when you get into 50k out of 2.5 million people you can enter to popular universities, which are located in big cities of Turkey. Unfortunately after all of this when you graduate from university, it is not sure that you can find a suitable job for yourself.

The interesting thing is Turkish high school students literally take maths classes that can be equalled to Calc classes in US university and colleges.

As a Turk this gives me vietnam flashbacks

bunlar edebiyat sınavını görmemişler 100 yıl öncesinin tüm yazarlarını eserleriyle beraber ezberlemek zorundayız

Keep in my mind, even if you did well in this exam like 80% or 90% correct answers, it doesn't mean much because you have to do better than the other 2.5 million test takers. You have to be obsessed with getting perfect scores in everything, just doing well isn't good enough. To get into a decent university you should have a close to perfect score in each category. Most people who did really well in this year's math section were students who studied for the math olympiads, this is the type of competition you have to deal with even if you want to study something like business or a non-stem major. The motivation you'll have is either having a hope for going abroad after graduating from the university or somehow getting lucky and finding a job in a terrible economy. A lot of students in Turkey spend all their high school years studying for these university entrance exams.

Imagine giving this question to American students. People would argue about the diversity of the 100 members of the project team. Devilish question too.

the main problem is exam duration, you have only 1min per question in first exam, and approx. 2,3 in second one. When you consider the difficulty level of questions, this time is not enough. Students mostly prepare themselves for competing with time, not for only exam content.

ÖSYM telif atmasın reis dikkat et.

3 yıldır bu sınavı kazanmak için uğraşıyorum, bu videonun karşıma çıkması tam isabet oldu .En azından biz Türk gençlerini anlayan birileri varmış bu dünyada. Teşekkürler.

finally someone who talks about this matter. WE ARE SUFFERING.We are the future of Turkey and the exams are like torture and our parents forces us to study more and more.

Sokarım kuşuna kabına tahta kalemle cebelleşiyorduk o soruyu çözerken

Omg probably I would have the worst score in this exam.I hope that the turkish education system can prepare all the students well to take this and everyone can have a chance to go to college.Good luck,turkish students!Now I know why I always thought that a lot of people from Turkey are good with math...everyone have to study this hard to take the exam...just taking this makes everyone a genius and a HERO

Bu videonun kesfetime düşmesi yaklaşan yksye çalış diyen ilahi bi güç olmalı

Fizik dersinde bu soruyu görmem ve hüzünlü anıların yüklenmesi :’)

I managed the question in about 15 seconds- but again I'm a 2nd year Maths major at one of the better UK unis and I'd imagine this would be very hard for a 12th grader under severe time pressure.

Fun Fact: There are two shortcomings in the 🇹🇷Turkish Education System: 1) Education 2) System

🇹🇷TR - İşin komik tarafı şu: Böyle bir sınavda 1. olsanız bile Dünya üzerindeki en iyi 500 üniversite içerisinde olmayan üniversitelerin arasından seçim yapmak zorundasınız. 🇬🇧ENG - The funny thing is this: Even if you are 1st in such an exam, you have to choose among the universities that are not in the top 500 universities in the world.

See how hard Turkish students are struggling. As an exam student, I must say that stress and anxiety are now very difficult to deal with. After all these years of studying for the test, there's a chance we won't win. Turkish youth are in trouble.😔

I am a Turkish student who entered this exam and solved that question during the exam :D furthermore, it wasn't even the hardest one :D

bunu malum kişiler görse bakın biz zor yapıyoruz onlar kolay diye gururlanırlar. çünkü beyinleri yok, vicdanları yok. bir öğrencinin sınav sorusu yüzünden ağlamasına ve kriz geçirmesine neden oluyorsan bu gurur değil aptallıktır ve istifanı vermek için mesajdır.

Never thought I would be seeing this nightmare of an exam again.

I wanted to cry when I saw this. Exams are both difficult in Turkey The training given is difficult It's all about memorization The exam has the finest detail questions I'm always studying. I gave up my hobbies I feel like an idiot Geography is destiny

Bu sınava giren zavallılardan birisiyim... Şuan fizik okuyorum o yüzden mutluyum...

The stupid part of this exam is the time to solve those problems. You have to read, understand, create a solution and mark it to the answer sheet under 1.5 minutes . And with doing everything correct, of course.

I am electronics engineer from Istanbul Technical University, Turkey. At undergraduate level our courses are really so much harder than MIT. However at the end of the day Turkey does strictly exactly clearly nothing about engineering. We are good at question solving :)

😃: Turkish people looking proud as they are one of the hardest exam. 😩: Knowing their lives are in turkey.

YOU CANNOT IMAGINE HOW HAPPY I WAS WHEN I SEE THIS VIDEO, WE ARE IN TURKEY AND IT REALLY GIVES ME JOY THAT A PERSON LIKE YOU REVIEWS OUR QUESTION. THANK YOU.

That's why Turkey is the first depression and anxiety in europe

we have no problem with the questions being so difficult, our problem is that the quality of education is much lower and the education system changes every year. but yeah we still prefer that the questions are easier

kafa dağıtmak için girdiğim youtube'da bile Allah'ın çoktan belamızı vermiş olduğunu hatırlatan bu video için teşekkür ediyor olmayan eğitim sistemimize selamlarımı iletiyorum

Turkish guy speaking, Going to take these tests this year, so far my life has massively changed. I've been chipping away at my hobbies and interests.Never have I thought I'd get this stressed and focused at the same time. I go to school 9h a day, study 5h at home. Taking both TYT-AYT preparation tests every single week. Learning how to manage time. My experience so far: Felt like I'm a non native Turkish speaker Felt like scammed (paying hundres for textbooks, cause' gov doesn't support us at all) Felt like I'm in a vicious circle where I'll have these feelings for the rest of my life. After all, I got some dreams to fulfill and I aspire to enjoy freedom afterwards! :D

This sounds sooooo difficult, I'm actually in my cardiothoracic surgery residency right now and I can't imagine doing sums and calculations, they sound SOO HARD.

Woke up, first thing I saw is tibbies holding that cursed exam which turned my life to a nightmare. Had a heart attack. As I victim of this exam, merely seeing it was enough to cause and heart attack

even though it’s been 4 months since the exam, seeing these questions literally makes me want to cry. i could not get the resul that i wanted last year so i’m preparing for the exam again and honestly i really hope that this year’s questions won’t be like the last

Öğrencilere keşke öğrettikleri kalitede sorsalar!

i'm greek and I knew turkish exams were incredibly hard, but- this is ridiculous You get less than 3 hours to answer 166 questions??

I can't think of a single instance where these questions would be useful to studying medicine, yet, you'll still be examined on it

I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS VIDEO AT ALL. I failed this exam a few months ago. It was a literal nightmare because we have to sacrifice so many things in our life in order to pass this exam but yet most of us can't achieve our goal. I remember the way I SHIVERED when I read and tried to figure out some of these questions lmao. Nevertheless, I still have courage in myself so I hope I can get succesfull this time. If there are Turkish students who couldn't pass that exam like me, I want to say something to them: "Bu sefer o sınavın içinden geçin ulan! Herkese başarılar!"

Bu sınava girdim şu an hayalim olan bölümdeyim ama sınavın zorluğu yüzünden sağlığımi kaybettim iki ay hastanelerde gezdim psikolojik sorunlar yaşadım hâlâ da yaşıyorum sınav esnasında bayilmamak için osym şekerlerini nasıl açıp ağzıma koydugumu bile bilmiyorum akşamına acillik oldum.Hicbir şey sağlığınızdan daha önemli değil arkadaşlar bu kıytırık sınav da dahil

Türkiye'deki öğrencilerin yaşam döngüsü : "doğmak-büyümek-üniversite sınavına girmek-ölmek"

Using Turkeys in a Turkish pigeonhole principle problem. That's brutal.

It has taken 10 minutes to explain, well done, but in the limited time of the exam time is a ticking!

the fact that this was one of the "easy" questions on the exam :( I took this exam 2 times and the amount of pressure you have throughout the year is indescribable. I got my period halfway through the exam therefore had to study another year to retake it. The education system is soo corrupted if you dont get in the first 50k theres no chance for you to get into good universities resulting in you not being able to go abroad (which what every teen wants in turkey since we don't want our future families having to deal with this shit)

Artık bize kolay gelen 10. Sınıf matematik konularından birinin yabancılar tarafından zor olarak tanımlanmasına artık şaşırmıyorum .
