We speak to Shreya Vardhan, a Class XII student of Delhi Public School, RK Puram, who has created a record by scoring a perfect 2400 in her SAT test and in her TOEFL test for admission to foreign Universities.
Thanks :) ..I wonder if I'd be able to go to the USA or not bcuz of the new education policy and the Pandemic ...Wish me best!😅 I hope God turns the situation if He wants
@@amyr7312 bruh, I am Eastern European, and not white... 😂 😂 Don't worry my Geographic skills are good... I know damn well... It was joke... 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
@@chehakmalhotra860 How nice it would be to have such classmates. I have always missed intelligent discussions with my school mates. Wish I had such friends.
@@manishmayank4199 yes but you can shape your own personality. Its same for me, you get influenced a lot by your classmates but there are actually people whom you can talk to.
More like, smarter than 99.999999 percent of the world!! She's really awesome!! I mean i know how much determination and effort is required to get perfect scores like that
Keyword she wasn't thinking to much about it being impossible. She just put in the work and everything followed through. Congrats to her she's an inspiration keep up the good work.
I have read a lot of people's comments that seem to be jealous. She is from India, and I know how difficult is to learn a language when it is so different than the native language. She made something really cool that even the most of native speakers can't do. I don't admire her but I think she deserve more respect. And you Avix relax!! she didn't kill anyone. She got perfect scores in some international tests. That's nice, not a crime.
English is a secondary native language for middle-class & rich kids from urban areas in India because all of us go to English-medium, mostly private schools. The language of instruction for all of our subjects, physics, biology, math, history, etc., is English, except for the specific language subject like Hindi. I was taught the English alphabet way before I learned how to write any Hindi or Gujarati (my state language). I am much slower at writing/reading Hindi compared to English, and far more comfortable with the Roman alphabet over Devnagari Script. Our accents just sound weird/different to you guys because we were mostly taught a mother tongue (Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, etc.) before we went to school, and converse majorly in it with our friends & family. But most urban kids like me are equally fluent in at least 2 or more languages including English.
So no children are bi or trilingual in three native languages as per Government policy and their mother tongue may or may not be part of the three depending on the government bigotry
The moral of the story: There are no shortcuts to getting good scores. Just live your life. As long as you’re committed to learning, you will get the best score you can get.
How is her future secured? She still have to work hard. SAT or TOEFL perfect score don't mean much except for helping get admission to good universities ...that's all
the parents will obviously be supportive when you are studying well..the parents who are supportive of kids even if they follow unconventional dreams or who love their kids even if they tried their best and failed are the real good parents. it's the same when people like you when you have money but don't come near you if you're broke.
@@nreddy9980 it doesn't matter in my country where people still feed us the lie "a mother's love in unconditional. Whatever she does for you is for your own good". I tried complaining to other family members and even to counselors just to hear things like "I'm an ungrateful child" and listen to your parents. I'm in my mid 20s and still listening to this . People just refuse to believe that toxic mothers exist until the child dies or something
@@sree1680 Oh they definitely exist, India is pretty draconian on its use of force or strict punishments against children as a means of discipline (which I don't necessarily disagree with) but I presumed starvation was regarded as abuse and frowned upon even there as the culture is very concerned with whether one is fed or not. How does your mother feel about it today? Does she still think it was the right thing to do?
@@baratmalli6413 yes I agree with you. But us economic recovery rate might be way faster than india. That's the sad one. India has faced most drastic fall of -23% in world. And, today india registered highest no. Of cases in a single day(90k) in world. Worst is yet to come. 😭
@@Venkat-sy2fu keep dreaming. India has lot of cheap labour so it might become an assembly hub but no futuristic product is going to be developed here.
For me doesn't matter what test she has given and etc etc. She has just proved the POWER of brain. Brain is so powerful, it can become as flexible as we want it to be. Folks,don't criticize please ! Admire her,learn from her.
She is smart, hard working, intelligent and beautiful. She has a great future ahead of her... ALL THE BEST AND CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR ACHIEVEMENT... YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION.
If Indians lack entrepreneurship, how come so many Silicon Valley start-ups were founded or co-founded by Indians. I think, the problem is not with Indians but with the present system in India. Actually, we have many communities in India like Gujarati’s, Marwadis etc where running business is part of their culture or DNA. Given a proper political environment, Indians can be as good as Americans etc in creating and running business.
Congrats to this kid. Scoring perfect SAT is definitely commendable and mind-blowing, but it isn't a "world record" as the title of this video suggests. Around 300 kids get perfect SAT score all across the world.
baby i feel bad for yall yall need to know smartness comes from mind, having opinions and stuff many ppl are toppers and get amazing marks but at the end are depressed and probably dead inside by the amount of pressure and expectations put onto them. how and why can i tell this? cuz i ve been both and trust me ur smartness doesn't just go away when u are forced to do subjects or things u dont even like idk about her she might actually be happy but watching these vid and comparing pls stop ur good at something she's not good at just find that thing
Although I don't consider standardized testing any mark of one's intelligence, I still congratulate her as it still takes dedication to achieve those marks.. congratulations Shreya!
That was so obvious by her interview... I clicked on this because I used to teach a young indian girl with the same name....and her family FORCED her to study to the test...in other words she did not truly understand in information she was just a PARROT studying to take a test....so correct that the SAT is NO INDICATION of GENIUS ...not even close
+BRBallin1 And America is always ready to buy them by giving the highest scholarships.. Cause hardly more 10% of Americans reach high school... While a mediocre Indian student can strip down an average American in every sphere...
Where r u from Mate!!!! how do you know its terrible ??? I think its much more terrible to stay in country where a crazy asshole can go out shoot openly at people, out of nowhere... where a brown man walking down the street can be left paralyzed for life by a white policeman, just because he was no so proficient in english.. don't lecture me about being defensive.. I am not.. but don't eve dare to point a finger at my great Nation. The world learns everyday from us.. steals our culture... I am not being defensive.. I am just asking you and people who are horribly stupid like you.. to get their facts right.. before commenting.. good night American Gladiator...

Sourav Majumder I'm Indian myself. When I visited the country to see relatives, I could not believe how people can manage to live their lives there. The obscene amount of people roaming in the streets and the overall dirtiness of nearly everything made me want to leave ASAP. I did enjoy the fact that $1 worth of rupees there felt like $5 here. If you truly believe it's a great nation, I dare you to live there for the rest of your life. Never immigrate to another country for the rest of your life. Also, way to hold a few instances of someone shooting people in public against this country of 320+ million people. It has its disadvantages, but it's still beats living in India. An upper-class life in India = middle class life in US in terms of quality/satisfaction
I hope this bright young woman can find theories to explain the dark matter and dark energy someday and get the Nobel Prize in Physics. The problem with institutionalized education is that students start to follow the teachers/textbooks and forget that there are completely new ways to understand and explain the reality.
Try spoken English for Engineers and Scientists, it is on sale on Amazon.in Sanskriti, no one is saying you have to drop school. The teachers and teaching should change from the current sad state and encourage students to think, understand, innovate and create. If we all just follow the teachers and the textbooks, no new knowledge would be discovered by the smart kids who may have the potential to challenge the existing views and find the true knowledge. Do you know that top physicists admit that we know less than 5% of the universe? (read about dark matter and dark energy).
Sanskriti Telang Calm down, he was having an opinion. It is alright to have a certain view, a coin always have two sides. If you always focus on the bright one you might miss out the cautions of the dark side. It's not illegal to have a different mindset, or a different opinion about current methods.
I am proud of my country India bcoz it has given me everything. I live here happily & peacefully. I don't know what I will get abroad! Here my life is chill.
Amazing !!! Am from Oman (an arab) ... Lots of indians are working here they are smart hard working and they surely know how to run a business ... But most of us hate them because most of them are mean, dishonest and corrupted ... Some of them are great people but unfortunately can rarely be found in here ... I don't really blame them because Indian gov are corrupted and i believe when india well developed it will a great country ... Thanks to all honest and hardworking indians who help my country.
Siddhant Ekale just to remind you. Indians have one of the lowest efficiency at work. They work hard in here because the are getting better salary and much better living condition.
Said Algheilani hmm... if u have so much problem with us y do u hire us I signed up in an online job searching site lst week and have got 7 invitations from foreign highest 1 is from Saudi Arab who r paying me 8 times than that of India so pls depend on ur own talent if u hate us... else the blessed Arab nations will also become like Iraq or Sudan. God bless u bro😃😃😃
@@morningglory.213 i think this guy just has a special attraction towards physics that's it. loving physics or any other particular subject doesn't mean that you're a typical indian. besides he didn't say anything like he has anything against any kind of art forms
If there really was a formula,everyone would be applying it bud :), there's no denying these people are blessed(although they obviously work hard), The very popular saying "Hardwork beats talent" is very true, but when talent decides to work hard all you can do is bow in their magnificence and be grateful there's people better than you, most of these people don't even know what they're doing different
Congrats! Although I am a Chinese, when watching your story I feel watching a familiar inspirational story from my student years in china. Despite that my people are still ruled by an ugly authoritarian regime at the moment, historically Indian and Chinese people share so many common values, hard studying and working, religious tolerance... And together we can make racial supremacism history in the 21st century. Good luck India, good luck Shreya :)
58 seconds in and I already pointed out 2 major grammatical errors in what she said 1. Firstly, you don't 'give' a test as a student, you 'take' the test. The SAT gives you the test. 2. '"I did lots and lots of practice'' is incorrect grammar.
She is intelligent and following her interests with passion. She is humble and genuine, not bragging about etc. That shows her class. She will have a great future and mankind will benefit off of her intelligence.
I'm watching now, but I go to uni and because of COVID my exams for first year were cancelled. Therefore, it's all assignments. By the way incase your wondering, I go to the University of York, studying Business & Management.
It's very sad to see that fellow Indians instead of feeling proud are making such nasty comments on her and belittling her achievement. Grow up people! She made a World Record. Shouldn't the nation be proud?!
Don't comfort her with fake lies. Give her motivation and GIVE HER THE TRUTH. If she works hard then she will succeed. Her success shouldn't be compared to other people
Don't compare yourself with anyone. You will only make your life miserable. Trust me, there are Ph.Ds holders working for uneducated bosses!!! Being smart may get you a job (read slave), but not happiness.
It's a good thing she scored well... But it's not a big deal! I too scored 800/800 in the SAT subjects, 118/120 on the TOEFL, and missed a perfect score in the ACT by 1 Mark. She did well, but seriously, no big deal.
Wow! Such a brilliant and mature girl! So inspiring. And I love how clear her objectives and thoughts are! At her age, I was terrified of university admission tests. And even now, in 2020, sitting for GRE and TOEFL gave me trauma. 🥶
Shows her humility... she never says i know or in my opinion... she has good knowledge power more than a degree holder still being humble.. what you need to notice is she used the word i love physics... love is the word behind her success.. real passion
As a former British colony. I am wondering, why do Indians still need to pass the TOEFL? As a South American I can tell, we surpassed the European Spanish long ago.
This is unbelievable on all levels. Her scores to begin with. Congrats to her. And the assumption or inevitable move out of India, and the anchors questions about it. As if India is some medieval country and as if it is just hopeless to think of living and working in India. It is this kind of supplicant nature that will never let us be of any relevance in the world. The pecking order of White Europe on top and dark Indians on bottom nether rungs is working so well for the Europeans. Is there any end to this insanity. Even a utterly worthless jack becomes a manager to IITians in the US. It just hurts looking at the way things are.
It seems like u r completely missing the point of a good education. It is not about getting to the 'top' or earning a lot of money... thinking about the bettterment of the world in this scenario should lead you to the fact that a good education should train your mind to concentrate intensely enough to be able to get something truly original from your mind into the real world. Thats the actual collective good.
+Satya Sarma We do agree but system has changed in India. If you are not comfortable in English u will not get job anywhere in India and our country weakness is English if u know English well any beautiful girl speak to u go further otherwise everyone rejectects u
Wonderful congratulation Shreya! Shreya Vardhan, a Class XII student of Delhi Public School, RK Puram,has created a record by scoring a perfect 2400 in her SAT and TOEFL tests for admission to foreign Universities. We proud of you another Indian students with world's only one record owner.
