The first page was easy, I think I would have got the "name" question right.
Questions be like: Train leaves at 9 am but john came 10 mins late. Now, calculate the mass of the moon
Meanwhile I'm pushing on a pull door...
Ik I would’ve failed this test before I even clicked on this video
I can barely tie my own shoes.

The only thing i remember in school is the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.
questions be like "James coughed, now figure out the orbital velocity of the nucleus inside his third outter germ layer between each one of his mitochondria, in space."
I had a physics course in college that was similar to this. They would allow you to write anything you want on two sheets of paper and use that during the exam. We could literally photocopy the textbook pages onto our notes (very small of course). All the formulas in the world couldn't help you if you didn't know how to apply them.
why do these exams make me feel stressed i dont take them
Why KZread recommend this to me

Im watching this as if i even know what astrophysics means
I can see that the questions are in perfect English but looks like all the answers are in ancient Greek. Weird.
Its sad that in my country we have to memorize everything, every damn equation, checking our memory not Problem resolving skills.

Just look at the exam in another perspective and you'll see how beautiful and exciting and exhilarating it feels to you. If you think of yourself as the "student" then you'll get anxious for sure because you are merely after scores. Think of yourself as a true scientist, a species on this planet Earth trying to figure out the mysteries of the universe, bring to yourself a sense of purpose and significance that you are responsible for the whole human race as a species to explore new horizons in the darkness out there WHEN STUDYING AND TAKING ASTROPHYSICS EXAMS GUYS! I personally find this exam very inspiring.
I'm currently a senior in high school, and all this video did was reassure my choice into going into an astrophysics major. Many thanks for the video!!!
I love this series :) We appreciate you sharing your love of physics and math! And helping those who are unsure to make the right decision.
I love the progression from "yikes."---> *"heck."* -----> "cool."

As a senior Astrophysics major, I’m oddly astonished how easy this exam is what I anticipated it to be. O_o
I come from a humble family, raised by a single mother whom worked as a field worker (processing produce from field to package to get it sent out) and I was a laborer too, always trying to help my mom with my siblings. First time I went to college I dropped out due to family illness and having to work more to compensate for medical expenses (cancer). I never thought I’d be someone who could learn any of this, but fortunately things have changed. I am now enrolled in college again and before enrolling I would soak up all these astrophysics videos, to the point where I was able to realize if a video was showing incorrect information. This catapulted me into a math & physics double major (which I just started, doing great so far, really proud of myself) and I love seeing your videos. Makes me feel like I can be doing those tests soon and especially now because you show us what to expect and we can prepare ourselves better. I guess all the backstory was unnecessary but I wanted you to know how much I mean it when I say THANK YOU.
Is no one going to comment on this gorgeous penmanship?

In my opinion, astronomy(along with cosmology/astrophysics) is the king of science. How rewarding is it to say your job is studying and observing the cosmos, the reason that we are here in the first place!
This illustrates what I love the most about physics/maths... as long as you have the basic knowledge and are given the formulas it's really not all that complicated... until you step into the realm of theoretical, lol. Love the videos!!!
The best way to break-through in math is to Develop a mathematical thinking, rather than just seeing everything as numbers. This is my point to all math neophytes like myself: 1. The orderliness of the Universe bears winess to its mathematical nature. 2. The basis of all experience is the Memory of observable change, therefore involving mathematical Relations, Data recording and Data manipulation. 3. Our world "makes sense" Rationally ( Recurrence) and Or Irrationally (Uncertainty), because there's a basic Cognitive Factor in terms of fluctuating Sequencies and self-revealing Constants we all share with our Universe. 4. Know that Math, just like French or English, is in fact a Language of Thought and Observations, describing and recording Recurrences and predicting or positing the Uncertainties. It can be learnt and developed. 2. You're always using your Math Sense rationally or irrationally to Record and Predict your perceived Data. Obviously our Language of math varies according to the level of knowledge as to how the world works in the scope of Science and What it means from the standpoint of Subjective experience. Lastly, No scientific version of the world is perfect. We're always striving to prove or trancend a theory or a concept that is currently a relevant basis for Observation. As for me, not having been a mathematician, but artistic and more philosophical in my perception, I am going back to the basics and so far so good. Love your videos and Modesty.
*Flips first page over* My brain: Aight I am gonna head out...
Astrophysics is by far the most straight forward branch of physics, at least on an undergrad level
I find this girl so cute. She is holding the papers like a blessing as if she loves so much astrophysics
This is amazing! I'm an astrophysics student in Honduras (my native language is Spanish, I apologize for any mistakes in English) and I wish the physics exams in my university were similar to the one shown in the video.
And here I am, miscounting changes whenever I buy groceries
the 1st question of every phsics test was always so easy and you think everytime you can get a good grade until you read Q2, Q3,..
I usually don't comment on videos, but the quality of your videos are greatly appreciated as someone who is looking to graduate soon. Thank you for the analysis and insight into higher education!
I took astrophysics in a UC school at the undergraduate level. My final exam looked pretty similar to this, a lot of qualitative questions and some algebra. Very little hardcore calculus-based questions. It was honestly much easier than my analytical or quantum mechanics classes.
I really liked the idea of your channel,it's new,simple and to the point and shows us the examination systems in different universities and how exams are supposed to be.
Gosh her voice sounds so lovely
This is an awesome video! This week I’ve made the decision to pursue astrophysics, which made this video that much more interesting 😃 If you ever do another video on this, I would love to hear the complete question word-for-word as it gives me a different perspective. Thank you for sharing!!
* sees physics * Me: Ight imma head out
yeah exams be like: Marko walk 2km now calculate the speed of the rocket
Thanks for making this, I'm still in high school and I've been wanting to pursue astrophysics for years, but as of late I've been having doubts and such. Knowing some of the concepts that would be taught and tests for those is going to help me decide, I'll probably keep with astrophysics.
As a physics/operational Meteorology major I can assure you that you will have no social life in college
Wish I wasn't a complete dork and was actually able to understand a bit of this :'( Space is fascinating

I honestly love your channel, keep up the great work!

GUYS IT FUCKING EXSISTS... Astrobiology is an interdisciplinary scientific field concerned with the origins, early evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe. Astrobiology considers the question of whether extraterrestrial life exists, and how humans can detect it if it does.[2] The term exobiology is similar.[3]
I swear I remember High School exam questions being like; John has five apples and he gives three of them to his friend. Calculate the mass of a neutron star.
Thanks for posting this kind of vidoes, you're really helping a lot of people! Bless you!!!
Atleast somebody in world are doing better unboxing
Just stumbled across this channel. Great videos! Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for sharing! Currently on my journey to become an Astrophysicist myself.
I'm glad I watched your video! It helped me learn more about what I'll be able to expect in my major :)
When I was younger I wanted to be an astronomer. Then I started watching these videos. Now I have my CDL
This is awesome, I loved my intro to astronomy class last quarter. I’m surprised I recognized what was going on in a few of these questions.
I'm an Astrophysicist myself, and some of these questions are spinning my head. The difference of education is boggling.
Such a creative way to make high quality videos. Please make a video like that on Neuroscience and Cognitive Science, thanks a lot!
Thanks for sharing this. My background (back in the day) is biochem, and I had my share of physics and math. I've always loved checking out astrophysics. You make it very accessible and enjoyable. Thanks again!
bro why am I here
I have no connect with physics because of your vidios I learn and take interest in physics thanks so much for your videos.

True, but I think they were saying that understanding maths is an essential part of it. Not that it's like a maths degree.
aw man... i remember when i wanted to be an astronaut. But then my math wasn't exceptionally good.
Wait wtf? You have all the required constants LISTED, you can have 2 FREAKING PAGES of notes with you during the exams AND you just have to apply the formulas/rearrange them!?!? Despite the odds, my idiot self will somehow find a way fail this exam
So this is what Neil Degrasse Tyson had to go through
Just looking at the test gives me goosebumps. Thank you for sharing ❤️
One of your best. I think your assessment of studying the way to approach a competition as well as being solid as math is a good assessment of what it takes to compete. When it is difficult to figure out, and we have respectable answers, it is because we have not seen enough of these types of questions. On the answer sheet, that was a nice tribute to someone who contributed a lot, and had dies recently. There always seems to be some unsung hero in the background, to those who have done well in the foreground.
I took astrophysics in high school and i confirm.. also it was one of the coolest courses I’ve ever taken in my life

0peanutman0 you can do it if you want it. I barely payed attention in high school because i left home early and am possible on the spectrum, but I am enrolled in a Masters of Astro now
You are so intelligent, beautiful, sure of yourself, etc... You are perfect
How can it be that such an ingenious knowledge and understanding comes from such young individuals. I am so intrigued with these videos for the brightness of intelligence on said exams is explained with such an awesome humble compassionate integrity full of a will and eagerness to teach to others the gift of understanding high math equations. Keep up the fantastic work you are doing.
This is very insightful, I have a big interest in astrophysics and have been able to do a few programs around it. I am majoring in mechanical engineering next year, and I’m debating whether I want to minor in Astro or Cs maybe both. Attending Northeastern university class of 2023, super exciting
2020, someone?
I used to complain about Biochemistry, but I remember wanting to study something related to Astronomy or Astrophysics but seeing this made me realize that I need to study harder. My respects for every engineer, astronomer, astrophysicist, etc., you work so damn hard! Keep it up!
I know many people greatly appreciate what you do Toby, though I hope we can see more of you demonstrate onwards from exams !
You know it's only by you tht i get enough motivation that i can get a major in physics my physics exam is tommorow please wish me luck

You should have user submitted tests to see the differences between let's say MIT and x University. It would interesting to see what different professors/universities find important.
Finding this youtube channel was one of the most cool things that happened to me this year. Also I'm kinda surprised about how simple this questins are, even thought this is a undergraduate exame, I have the feeling that I could solve most of them (maybee all) easily and I didn't even get to university yet, just beeing curious about astrophysics.
Weird flex but okay
Great video... And yes if you could make a video on recent years question papers that would be really helpful
Could you maybe do a video on how magnets really work? Like not just the result but on a quantum mechanical level?
I really like the way you talk! You have an amazing voice and you are so articulate! 👍😉
I found your channel yesterday and i love it keep it up. im a graduate physics student and i can relate to your experiences exactly. Especially those videos of horror stories.😂
Very interesting. I appreciate understanding of physics at various levels.
It looks scary for sure, but i think that even a regular 100IQ person like most of us could do them if we studied astrophysics. When it comes to finals and stuff... that’s another story.
Did not expect the "salty" bit💀
Can listen to your vids all day, awesome videos
Great video! Thank you for sharing
