>The East Asian countries' entrance exams are orders of magnitude more difficult than US exams and actually cover real subjects in a critical manner.
Critical? Seriously? These are mostly pure and simple regurgitation tests...at least the gaokao is. The shoe east Asia education system is driven around memorization and regurgitation, which is why so many still "escape" to the American system around university to actually learn something.
The definitely are multiple choice scantron affairs, though I don't know much a both Japan's system, but they haven't been don't so hot lately either.
People in china look at the American education system in envy, people in America look at china in envy. All this envy is based on ignorance and a "grass is greener" over there mentality.
