This is really really simple btw, for a grad school entrance exam. Anyone who has successfully studied mathematics for a year should be able to score 100% on this exam.

I think most American students would score far below 100%.

Wow you sure are smart why don't you write an email to the faculty of the highly ranked university that wrote this test to let them know how easy it is? Oh wait, you didn't even realize that this is just one of many tests you take on the examination day and you also must orally defend your undergrad thesis to a panel. But go on, continue telling us how smart you are

1st question is Linear Algebra 2nd question is Calc 2+Differential Equations 3rd question is probability/stats an analysis class would probably help as well I guess it's pretty feasible to take all of those in a year, especially if mathematics is your area of study. This wasn't the case in engineering in my experience. In any case, this wouldn't be so bad with a 4 year degree. Not really any harder than other PhD candidacy exams I've looked at

  Oh wait, is it for a PhD program? Then it is pretty easy indeed. Although I would still possibly choke on proving that the surface area equals that formula. I mean, are you supposed to use the standard formula for surface of revolutions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_of_revolution#Area_formula https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_of_revolution#Area_for...)? Are you supposed to derive this formula yourself? Strictly speaking, I don't even know the definition of surface.
