At this time, the 2025 College Scholastic Ability Test is underway. Competition for the top ranks is expected to be fierce as it is the first CSAT to be held after the increase in medical school. I'll go into more detail with the experts. Oh Jae-sung, director of the Institute for Multilateral Education Entrance Examination, is here. Welcome.

By now, the Korean language test is over and students will be taking the math test, but there were many evaluations that the Korean language test was quite easy during the mock test in September. So, there are predictions about the difficulty level of the CSAT this time, what do you expect?

[Misproperty]
I'm probably careful to analyze it while the CSAT is in progress. Exactly at 10:56 now, the Korean language test paper for the first period can probably be shared. So I can refer to that.Nevertheless, wasn't there an analysis by the chairman and professors at the Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation in the morning?

Nevertheless, as you said, we will consider the appropriate difficulty of the mock test in June and September this year. As I said on the previous broadcast, the absolute evaluation of English grade 1 was 1% in June and 10% in September, so the temperature difference was actually too large. And I'll tell you later, too.There is also an increase in the number of graduates, so I will refer to the difficulty considering the connection rate to some extent.Nevertheless, about 4,400 people got perfect scores in Korean like in September.

And 64 students in last year's CSAT were perfect in Korean. Too much is a problem and too little is a problem, but from an expert's point of view, it still requires an appropriate level of difficulty. So, aside from considering semi-killers and killers while maintaining the difficulty of last year's CSAT, it is highly likely that the questions that have secured discrimination will be asked.

Next, the most important thing is that natural science students apply for two science subjects during the CSAT this year, and universities have freely allowed social studies themselves this year, so in terms of the actual number of applicants for the CSAT, social culture has increased by about 40,000 compared to last year. Therefore, it is expected that the biggest variable will be to check the variables of the inquiry subjects by the last four classes of difficulty in Korean, math, and English.

By now, I think the Korean language test paper will have been released as you said. This is the first CSAT after the increase in medical school. That's why N students applied quite a lot, maybe because of the influence. In fact, I think the Evaluation Institute would have considered this variable, but how will this affect the test?

[Misproperty]
The number of applicants for N students and graduates increased by about 3,900 compared to last year. And all N-subscribers, including the GED. About 180,000 people have been registered. In that case, the N students themselves still show strength in the CSAT, and considering their high scores, last year's perfect math score itself is the day of the CSAT grade notice on December 6th.

Then, the Korea Institute of Curriculum and Evaluation will also open the test based on the number of people who took the SAT that year, the cumulative distribution, and the standard score for grade cuts. If so, last year's cumulative distribution alone shows the cumulative distribution of the lowest score from the perfect score. Then, in the case of mathematics, whether it is an aesthetic choice, probability and statistics, the Korea Evaluation Institute does not disclose that you made a choice such as geometry. It's just an analysis by entrance examination companies or offices of education based on inferred things.

At that time, I thought that the standard score of 148 out of last year's math CSAT was the inference score of the students who chose differentiation and integration. There is a percentage of those students' aesthetic choices in N students, medical school hopes, high-ranking universities, or liberal arts, but since many science students choose differentiation and integration, that percentage. And the probability and statistics can be inferred by looking at the Korea Institute of Evaluation table with 147 points for a large number of students selected by liberal arts students.

So when you look at these things alone, it's the center of the grade cut, which is the increase in N trainees this year and the high score of N trainees. Not only active students but also high school seniors have students who are strong on the CSAT, but N students are specialized in the CSAT.

That's because the increased number of people has a rating cut effect, and it's inevitable that the number of people in science exploration has decreased. Therefore, the major subjects of the N-recipients' grade cut and the score line and the regular line for the expected grade cut in the future should be considered this year as well, but if it is compared to last year, I predict that the passing line of the major top ranks or medical departments will be similar or maintained.

[Anchor]
To be precise, do you mean that many high-scorer students will take the test, but the acceptance maintenance level will not change much?

[Misproperty]
There may be differences in difficulty, but nevertheless, the fact that the number of N students has increased can be inferred that it is a little self-evident that more high-scorer students can come out. Therefore, there are changes in other major universities, whether medical schools have been increased or not, but the increase in the number of applicants due to the increase in N students has led to some increase in the passing line.

Since last year's CSAT, we have maintained our policy to exclude killer questions, and this year is the same. And the chairman of the questionnaire committee said that we have sufficiently filtered out the semi-killer questions, so how can we secure discrimination in the test?

[Misproperty]
So, I need to check out the Korean language after the interview.Nevertheless, when I checked the Korean language and mathematics in advance as of last year, the Korean language itself has a 50% trend and connection rate to EBS questions in June and September, but even in the field above, students had familiar fingerprints, so the grade cut was raised or lowered, so I think there will be fewer variables in this year's CSAT itself. Still, economics, current affairs, and scientific fingerprints by classical or non-literature parts that students are burdened with will be variables to some extent in the Korean language.

Then, in last year's math, units 22 to 22 on the common part of the common question, which is taken by liberal arts students and natural science students, had the lowest percentage of correct answers last year. The fact that the percentage of correct answers itself is that few students answered correctly can be said to be a difficult question. So, since No. 22 and No. 14 had some degree of difficulty, only 1% of students chose No. 22 exactly. Because students who chose aesthetics had only almost 5% of correct answers. So this year, even if semi-killers or killers are excluded, it is a question of discrimination that can lead to some high scores for students in the middle. I'll analyze that part after I finish math, but those questions will still be where they are.

For the last English question, there are questions such as blank reasoning and paragraph arrangement that students thought about and trained all the time.Ma is a little bit of a trap question that makes you choose the wrong answer or get confused rather than the basic difficulty when you look at universities these days. That's what I can see. So last year, 4.7% of English grade 1 was grade 1 in CSAT.Ma predicts that there will be a variable to reduce mistakes in the CSAT once it is open this year, while maintaining that difficulty again this year, rather than blank reasoning or other specific theoretical parts.

[Anchor]
I think we need to analyze it in detail after the test paper is released, but the number of medical schools increases. I wonder how this will affect the test as well. Some entrance exam experts have analyzed that a student with a fourth grade in the CSAT may pass medical school. What do you think?

[Misproperty]
In conclusion, I think it's a very cautious approach. Still, we can make a reasonable inference. Medical school has been increased, and I remember that this year's regular admissions for local talent are 139. Then I'd like to select 100% of these people.Ma is selected from early admission and the lowest is at stake in essay writing, comprehensive student record screening, or subjects that do not meet the minimum of the CSAT. There are some cases where the universities with the restrictions are carried over if they are not satisfied.

So, 33 medical students were carried over last year and 12 the year before last. Then, isn't the carryover of reinforcements increasing even before the reinforcement? In that case, if 60% of local talent is expanded and selected this year, the number of students itself will not be doubled compared to last year, but if the number of regular students increases from 139, then local talent is a competition only for students targeted in the region. Then, on last year's education portal site, 70% of the additional admission and regular admission provided by the Ministry of Education will be disclosed. When I disclosed it, when I analyzed it, it was revealed that it was the percentile of acceptance of local talent last year.

Of course, it's hard to see a simple percentile because it's not a conversion score. If so, it's low to go to a general university with 96%. Then, if it goes down even further this year, as you said, I think it will be difficult to pass with 4 because mathematics gives all the weight rather than the 4th grade itself. In my opinion, even if it is a list of Korean, other explorations, English, and other subjects, if students subject to local talent are carried over this year, I can predict that there will be some gap in regular admission.

Lastly, after the CSAT, students will have to plan their regular admission support strategy and take college-specific tests. Please give me a short tip on how to plan their regular admission support strategy.

[Misproperty]
The most important thing is to understand your values. Your report card will be released on December 6th.Nevertheless, once today's test is over, the Korean language and math grades will be released by entrance exam companies or EBS from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. After that, the inquiry subject comes out a little late. Then, you will find out your location, your scores, and start writing and interviewing as university-specific tests from this weekend.

Then it's your position itself, and the most important thing is that if you pass the early admission exam, you can't apply for the regular admission exam. If the provisional score itself comes out better than the school that applied for the early admission exam, then isn't it necessary to apply for the early admission to some extent? So it is important to figure out the location and objectively look at your location to see if I will take the university-specific test or not.

Then, when the report card comes out on December 6th, if you are a student who has to apply for regular admission from then on, December 31st to January 3rd is the application day. Then, it seems necessary to make a portfolio according to that, and set up a plan for the upper, middle, and lower levels of Gao, Na, and Da, and set up your own final acceptance strategy for early admission and regular admission.

I see. Let's stop here. First of all, I hope you do well on the remaining tests. I'll have to plan my strategy well. So far, I've been with Oh Jae-sung, director of the Institute for Entrance in Dawon Education. Thank you.
