"Make sure to bring your test sheet and ID"... Precautions for Test takers for "Suneung D-1"

ⓒYonhap News Agency

With the 2025 College Scholastic Ability Test (November 14) just a day away, test takers should carefully examine the precautions so that there is no confusion on the day.

According to the Ministry of Education and the Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation on the 13th, test-takers must bring their test sheets and identification cards and enter the test room at the designated test site by 8:10 a.m. on the 14th, the day of the test.

ID cards include resident registration cards, driver's licenses, and passports before the expiration of the period when the resident registration number is displayed. A certificate of application for issuance of a resident registration card within the expiration date, a youth card, a student card with a photo of oneself attached, and a name, date of birth, and the official seal of the school principal, and a foreigner registration card are also recognized as identification cards.

If you lose your test ticket, you can get it reissued by going to the test center by 8 a.m. with one photo and an ID card, such as the one posted on the application form.

Smart devices such as mobile phones and smart watches, digital cameras, electronic dictionaries, MP3 players, tablet PCs, camera pens, electronic calculators, radios, portable media players, watches and earphones with Bluetooth functions, and all electronic devices with communication functions are prohibited from entering the test site. If an electronic device is brought in, it must be submitted to the supervisor before the start of the first period, and it is considered cheating when it is in possession.

There is no clock in the test room, so you need to prepare it in advance. Clocks can only bring analog clocks with hour and minute hands, and second hands.

Items that can be carried during the test are black computer sign pens, white crystal tapes, black pencils, erasers, mechanical pencils, analog watches, and masks. Items that need to be carried for medical reasons, such as hearing aids, magnifying glasses, and continuous blood glucose meters, can be carried after a preliminary inspection by a supervisor at each school.

Textbooks, reference books, and previous workbooks can also be brought, but when the test begins, you have to put it in a bag and submit it in front of the test room.

You should also follow the method of taking the 4th class exploration area. Test takers must solve a copy of the subject question of their choice on their desk.

It is cheating if you put the second elective questionnaire on your desk or solve it in the first elective course class, or if you put the two selected subject questionnaires on your desk at the same time.

Lunch should be served on your own with a personal lunch box prepared in advance.

The answer should be a black computer sign pen, and if marked incorrectly, it can be modified with white correction tape. However, the test takers are responsible for the incomplete processing, such as the fall of the correction tape in the middle, so you should carefully check whether they have handled it properly.

When the closing order sounds, you should put down your writing tools and put your answer sheet on the right and your questionnaire on the left, and your hand under your desk.

If caught cheating, the college entrance exam that year will be nullified, which could ruin the year's efforts. In particular, test takers should pay special attention to the fact that "writing answers after termination" was the most common cheating detected in the CSAT last year.
