   I find this hard to believe
   
   assuming the testing was unbiased, what's the explanation? our CS programs are just really rigorous, or they weed out the incompetent early, or?

     @deprecated_ii @doublecart @merchantHelios They're only teaching the basics in China and India. Not the science. They can follow flow charts in the form of debug screens but making things optimal at all isn't something they handle well.
     
     Not sure what the story is on the Russians though

     @deprecated_ii our CS programs are (purportedly) meant to give a comprehensive base understanding of the science. Compare with China or India where the purpose is "learn some Java and webdev so you can get a job". Unsure about Russian scores

     @merchantHelios @deprecated_ii True, that ETS test is testing about general, language-agnostic CS principles

     @doublecart @merchantHelios before I knew what the test was, my thought was they were looking for "modern" skills and of course the US leads in trendy shit
     
     but that does not appear to be the case, so perhaps it is just that they're not teaching fundamentals in other countries
