Most of the Asian applicants I know scored > 750 in SAT math; many of them scored triple 800’s in math L2 and science subjects…easily. If SAT is true measure of their quantitative IQ, you would expect these people to be brilliant mathematicans and engineers. Yet I know quite a few struggling with high level math and engineering courses in college.</p>
<p>I prefer to think that these students did well because they were more focus in math and sciences in high school. These students were drilled throughout high school in preparation for the public examination. They have mastered the art of multiple choices and past papers … another case of practice make perfect.</p>
<p>Who do you think populate the Kumon math centers in your neighborhood?</p>
