[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] The June mock exam for the 2021 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT), organized by the Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation, was held simultaneously nationwide on the 18th, with approximately 21,300 third-year high school students in Daegu participating.

This high school mock exam is the third one following the nationwide unified academic achievement test conducted online on April 24 due to the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), and the nationwide unified academic achievement test held offline in school classrooms on May 21, the second day of in-person classes for third-year students. It is the first mock exam for third-year students preparing for the CSAT this year.

In Daegu, among the 21,333 test takers on this day, 18,856 took the exam in classrooms of 80 schools, 2,404 took it at 19 academy testing centers, and 73 (for the qualification exam) took the test at the testing centers where they submitted their applications.

Meanwhile, the June mock exam was originally scheduled for the 4th but was postponed by two weeks due to the delay in school openings amid the COVID-19 outbreak, which also delayed the CSAT schedule. According to the CSAT implementation basic plan announced on March 31, the linkage between EBS CSAT textbooks and lectures and the mock exam questions is maintained at about 70% in terms of the number of questions.
