[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] The most difficult passage in the Korean language section of the 2021 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) was found to be the science passage in the reading section titled "3D Synthetic Images."

Daekyo announced on the 3rd that, using 'KReaD,' a Korean reading comprehension index it developed for the first time in the education industry, it analyzed the difficulty level of passages in the 2021 CSAT Korean language section and reached this conclusion.

The result is at a similar level to the most difficult passage in the 2020 CSAT Korean language section, titled "Organ Transplantation and Endogenous Retroviruses," and slightly easier than the highest difficulty passage in the September mock exam Korean section, titled "Types and Mechanisms of Antimicrobial Chemicals."

Additionally, when analyzing the difficulty characteristics of the 2021 CSAT Korean language section passages by detailed categories, in the reading section, the science passage "3D Synthetic Images" had the highest KReaD index, followed by the humanities passage "Bukhakpa." In the literature section, the classical novel passage "Choi Go-unjeon" had the highest KReaD index.

A Daekyo official stated, "This analysis result is based solely on the difficulty of passages presented in this year's CSAT Korean language section, and the perceived difficulty by examinees may vary depending on question difficulty. We plan to use KReaD to establish a new standard for Korean language learning and contribute to the development of Korean language education and reading education."

Detailed information on the analysis of the 2021 CSAT Korean language section passages using the KReaD index can be found on Daekyo's educational service platform 'Macadamia.'
