AI tutors: GPT would achieve a perfect score on the math section of the U.S. SAT.

While GPT scored only 60 out of 100 on the Korean CSAT math exam, it solved all the math practice questions from the College Board perfectly.

I tested GPT 4o's ability by having it solve U.S. SAT math problems. The College Board's Full-Length SAT Practice Test: Bundle 1 includes 54 math problems, all of which GPT answered flawlessly. Out of the 54 questions, 6 were short-answer, while the remaining were 4-option multiple-choice questions.

 

All the calculations were not only correct but also carried out effectively. While some steps could have been shortened, the overall process was smooth without any significant problems.

 

As previously stated, GPT performed poorly on Korean CSAT math problems. GPT answered all the low-scoring 2-point questions correctly but struggled with most of the high-scoring 4-point questions. Compared to the U.S. SAT, even the 2-point questions on the Korean CSAT often required more complex calculations.

 

While the U.S. SAT focused on practical arithmetic skills for everyday scenarios, the Korean CSAT demanded higher-level problem-solving without providing real-world context. If math problem-solving were likened to a fitness test, the U.S. SAT would focus on exercises like push-ups, step tests, or long jumps to check general strength and stamina, while the Korean CSAT felt more like a powerlifting competition involving deadlifts and weighted pull-ups.

Mathematics courses in the Korean curriculum

  In Korea, the above curriculum will be applied starting with the 2028 CSAT. For reference, this curriculum will be implemented for high school freshmen starting in 2025. Common Subjects Elective Subjects General Career-focused Interdisciplinary 1. Common Math 1  2. Common Math 2  1. Algebra  2. Calculus I  3. Probability and Statistics  1. Calculus II  2. Geometry  3. Economics Mathematics  4. Artificial Intelligence Mathematics  5. Occupational Mathematics  1. Mathematics and Culture  2. Practical Statistics  3. Mathematics Project Exploration  All high schools will teach Common Math 1 and 2, along with general electives like Algebra, Calculus 1, and Probability & Statistics. However, career-focused elective courses may differ between schools. Each course is taken per semester, with 1 credit equaling 16 sessions of 50-minute classes. Over the three years of high school, students are required to complete a total...

AI tutors: How do they score on the 2024 Korean SAT math exam? Part 1 of 3 sections

Using GPT-4o, I tackled the math section from last year’s Korean SAT. The math section is made up of 22 questions (76 points) from common subjects and 8 questions (24 points) from electives. The electives include three options: Probability and Statistics, Calculus, and Geometry. In this case, I opted for Probability and Statistics. In summary, GPT got 20 out of 30 questions correct and scored 60 points out of 100.  The prompt requires solving problems manually, based on high school-level knowledge up to the 12th grade . GPT sometimes misinterpreted the problem images, but I corrected those errors. If the solution was wrong, I modified the prompt to lead the process toward the correct answer. For instance, in a logarithmic problem, I would ask it to use the logarithmic transformation formula. Out of the 30 questions, the results for questions 1 to 10 are as follows. GPT answered all the first 10 questions correctly. However, students are expected to solve these problems ...

수학 계통도(중1~고3), 2028년 개정 반영

  한국의 수능 수학은 2028년부터 아래 구성으로 변경된다.  공통과목과 일반 선택 과목은 필수이고, 나머지 과목은 선택이다. 학생들은 대학마다 우선시 하는 선택과목을 전략적으로 수강해야 한다. 다만 고등학교의 강의 여건과 학생들의 선호도를 감안하면, 많은 학생들이 기존 수능의 선택 과목이였던 미적분 Ⅱ와 기하를 수강할 것으로 예상된다. 공통 과목 선택 과목 일반 선택 과목 진로 선택 과목 융합 선택 과목 공통수학 1 공통수학 2 대수 미적분Ⅰ 확률과 통계 미적분Ⅱ 기하 경제 수학 인공지능 수학 직무 수학 수학과 문화 실용 통계 수학과제 탐구   아래는 중학교 1학년부터 고등학교 3학년까지 6년 동안 수강하는 수학의 세부 계통도를 나타낸다.
