According to a Tokyo-based company, the AI achieved perfect scores in nine subjects, including mathematics, chemistry, informatics, and politics and economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The test was conducted by LifePrompt Inc., which has been testing ChatGPT since 2024. In total, the AI was tested on 15 subjects and achieved an <strong>accuracy rate <\/strong>of 97 percent. However, its weakest subject was the Japanese language, where it scored 90 percent. Experts say this is because Japanese requires strong skills in <strong>organizing<\/strong> and understanding written information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every year, about 500,000 students take this two-day exam when applying to national and some private universities. The results are used by over 800 universities and colleges across Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For subjects commonly chosen by students applying to the University of Tokyo, one of Japan\u2019s most <strong>competitive<\/strong> universities, ChatGPT scored 97 percent, a large improvement compared to previous years. Researchers believe this improvement is due to better reading and processing abilities in the AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the test, ChatGPT did not use the internet and answered questions using only its <strong>internal data<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sub>Source: Mainichi Shimbun <\/sub><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"rtoc-3\"  class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comprehension Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Answer the questions following the article in English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How many subjects did ChatGPT receive perfect scores in during the university entrance exam test?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Which subject did ChatGPT score the lowest in, and what was its score?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>About how many students take Japan\u2019s university entrance exam each year?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Why did ChatGPT not use the internet when answering the exam questions?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"rtoc-4\"  class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In your own words, attempt to summarise the article in 4 sentences or less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"rtoc-5\"  class=\"wp-block-heading\">Discussion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Discuss these topics with your tutor, and support your answers with examples or experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Do you think AI should be allowed to take exams?
