I thought Indians are best in maths.. but see this gre data…

I thought Indians are best in maths.. till I saw this gre data… That’s a common notions that we as Indians are good with numbers.. but this gre data has proved that asians are good but we not among the them!! China is…. Average GRE Score of Indian Students Ever wondered which country has the highest Quant Score ? Or, What is the average score of Indian GRE Takers and how we compare to other countries, say China or US ? Any guesses ? I always used to think Indians are good with maths.. but this data of GRE takers shocked me… Top 5 Countries with Highest Overall GRE Score (Quant+Verbal) Singapore 317.4 Australia 314.1 Netherlands 312.1 Belgium 312.1 New Zealand 311.7 Next is the Top 5 countries with Highest GRE Quant Scores. (Surprise : China tops the List) Top 5 Countries with Highest GRE Quantitative Score China 162.9 Singapore 160.3 Hong Kong 159.5 Taiwan 159.2 Vietnam 158.9 Turkey 158.7 Next, lets see the Top 5 countries with Highest GRE Verbal Scores (Surprise : Aussies, even though have a trakemark “Aussie lingo” consisting of words such as cya, mate, howzat, etc, still top the list. Britain, which I was supposedly expecting, is at a unusual #3 and US which was my first guess, doesn`t appear in the top 5) Top 5 Countries with Highest GRE Verbal Score Australia 158.4 New Zealand 157.3 United Kingdom 157.1 Singapore 157.1 Ireland 157.1 Next, the Top 5 countries with Highest GRE Verbal Scores (Again, Surprise : Aussies !, No US !!) Top 5 Countries with Highest GRE AWA Score Australia 4.5 New Zealand 4.5 United Kingdom 4.4 Canada 4.3 Singapore 4.3 Some observations : It was very disheartening to see that Indian students are not among the Top Quantitative scorers on the GRE. I always thought that Indians were very good with Math and most of the Indian Test takers, being Engineers, would crack the GRE Math with a good score. Sadly, we don`t. It was quite a surprise that China leads the table with a Median Quant score of 162.9 which is pretty awesome. Indian students, or most of the students from Indian Sub-continent have traditionally a natural tendency to score less on the verbal, English being the 2nd Language. If you see the countries that have top Verbal and AWA scores (Australia, NZ, UK, Canada, Singapore, Ireland), most of these countries are English speaking countries with the exception of Singapore. The irony here is that, USA, which has over 81% of the test takers, doesn`t figure in the Top 5 Countries for Verbal or AWA. Median GRE Score of Indian Students Verbal : 144.7 Quant : 154.1 AWA : 3.1
