[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] As of 8 a.m. on the 7th, a total of 343 objections to the 2021 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) have been received.

By subject, the Korean language section had the most objections with 119 cases. In particular, the objections were concentrated on question number 37 in the Korean section. About 80 objections requested that the question be treated as having multiple correct answers, arguing that although choice 4 out of 5 passages is correct, choice 1 could also be correct. This question is worth 3 points and relates to 3D animation production, a topic that test takers may have found difficult due to unfamiliarity.

The next subject with many objections was the social studies inquiry section, with 101 cases received. There were about 30 objections pointing out an error in question 9 of Life and Ethics, arguing that choice 'ㄹ', which was marked incorrect, should be the correct answer. Following that, the science inquiry section had 61 cases, the English section 43 cases, the mathematics section 13 cases, the vocational inquiry section 3 cases, and the second foreign language/Chinese characters section 1 case. An official from the admissions industry stated, "So far, there do not appear to be any major issues with the objections."

Objections are being accepted through the Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation website, which administers the CSAT. Submissions are accepted until 6 p.m. on the same day. After that, from the 8th to the 14th, the objections will be reviewed based on the results. The finalized correct answers will be announced on the evaluation institute's website at 5 p.m. on the 14th. Score reports will be distributed on the 23rd.
