The AI robot got an “A” in mock tests intended for people taking this year’s National Center Test for university admissions. However, the group said it will temporarily suspend its project to test Torobo-kun through mock exams modeled on the Center Test. Since 2013, it has taken mock tests conducted by major preparatory schools using its stored data regarding the contents of school textbooks and other teaching materials, its ability to calculate. In this year’s mock exams, Torobo-kun scored a total of 525 points in eight subjects from five courses of study. In a mock entrance mathematics test for the University of Tokyo, Torobo-kun’s hensachi level rose to 76.2, an increase of about 32 points from last year.
