genelde o soruları çözmek için kendimize 1 dakika gibi bir süre belirlemek zorundayız ablacım

School? In Türkiye, we are playing survivor simulator.

"Making the exam questions harder doesn't make the education system more quality" is a very good point.

27 yaşındayım üniversite mezunuyum bölümümü birincilikle bitirdim deneyimim olmadığı için işsizim, iş görüşmesine değer bile bulunmadım.. Gerçekten bir gençliğimiz vardı onu da gelecek kaygısından ve yetersiz hissetmekten yaşayamadık. Türkiye'de adaletli bir eğitim sistemi ne yazık ki yok🥺teşekkür ederiz halimizden anladığınız için..

Dear Turkey, Just cause you're on two continents doesn't mean you can be twice as tough on students. Sincerely, everyone else.

Birde durmadan değişen bir sınav sistemi... Allah biz Türk öğrencilere güç versin.

Turkish students really go through a very difficult test, adding the factor of family pressure to be "someone", the unlucky situation with economy, competion, and so on. Im not turkish, but I used to be close with an amazing turkish person, I knew for what she told me and all the things we shared that things are really hard in Türkiye. However I always believe turkish are really brave people. My best wishes to those students!

Keşke en zor ve saçma sınavı yapmakla değil de en kaliteli eğitimi vermekle anılsak... O zaman hem gençliğim hem de milli duygularım daha az incinirdi.

In Turkey I entered all kinds of exams. I also had the chance to teach in USA and see the difference in exams and the curriculum. Here is why Turkey has really hard exams and lessons, but it's the Americans who get to go to space. 1) Turkish exams are not only hard. They have very limited time to solve compared to USA. Which is completely stupid because they teach kids to do fast and sloppy work. If we didn't have time problem, we'd be able to solve the problems the surest way, thus eliminating error. 2) In Turkey, students get to "memorize" things rather than learn. In USA, there is much more application, therefore kids actually learn what they're doing. I was allowed to teach kids the way I wanted, which wouldn't be allowed in Turkey. And whatever you learn, you get asked from that in the exam. For example, even if you get a hard question like the one in the video, you have already solved a similar problem. I really really REALLY hated the limited time and looots of questions to solve in an exam.

thank you for listening and understanding our condition better than our ministry

i am a fellow turkish student, and you truly understand our struggles better than the ministry itself. these exams are not only insolvably difficult, but also a great reason why the mental health of turkish students is going downhill. i personally have been dealing with an anxiety disorder for years now, and i am not the only one. so many students are suffering from anxiety, demoralization, depression and burnout, solely because of exams. even if you get good marks and graduate from a good university, there is a good chance that you will be working at a local grocery store anyway.

and the worst part is our parents don't realize how ridiculously difficult or education system is and if we fail they think the problem is always us.

eğitim hakkında,sınavlar hakkında, ülkemizdeki siyasetçilerden bile daha fazla şey biliyor ablamız

My heart goes out to all the Turkish students who suffer this ridiculousness

Finally, I found someone to explain how difficult Turkish exams are. Because the only problem in Turkey is not how difficult the exams are, but there are many reasons. Family pressure / expectation, future anxiety, hopelessness, the fact that the country is in a bad situation lead us to pessimism.

I'm happy that someone is finally talking about what Turkish children have to go through. Back when I was studying for LGS, I went to school for 8 hours then prep school for 6 hours 7 days a week. I had no energy to do anything other than sleep and so did my friends. That year I started to hurt myself (I'm getting better). I got so stressed out I started hallucinating. I'm not kidding.

En kötüsü de yurtdışındaki öğrencilerden daha zor sınava girip daha kötü üniversitelere gidecek olmamız. (Tabi kazanabilirsek)

Ablacım asıl konudan habersizsin bu kadar zor sınavın yanında öğrenciler bu sınavlara çalışabilmek için sadece bir test kitabına 100 birim para veriyorlar yaklaşık 10 saatlik asgari ücret kadar paraya sadece bir kitap alabiliyorlar. Gerçekten inanılması güç bir pozisyondayız ülke gençliği olarak.

The question that you solved in 3:50 doesnt need 2 unknowns you could have solved it by using 1 unknown. And 90,150 and 120 can divided 30 that means that will be 3x,5x and 4x in order. And if you try solving by not dividing them and using 1 unknown can make the question harder and longer than the standart and simpliest main way (P.S. the questions of 8. Grade doesnt want you to solve the questions by using 2 unknowns.)
