[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] The Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education will conduct the National Joint Academic Achievement Test for approximately 970,000 high school students nationwide from the 23rd to the 25th.

On the 22nd, the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education announced that, according to the social distancing level and in accordance with the principle of school density, the joint academic achievement test will be conducted in a staggered manner targeting 1st-year high school students on the 23rd, 2nd-year students on the 24th, and 3rd-year students on the 25th.

For students taking the test at home due to self-quarantine, the test papers for each session will be provided on the National Joint Academic Achievement Test online system according to the start time of each subject area. However, scores will not be processed for those taking the test remotely.

In this National Joint Academic Achievement Test, answer sheets for Korean History in the 4th session will be provided separately in accordance with the 2022 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) system. For 2nd- and 3rd-year students, up to two subjects can be selected and taken in the inquiry area without distinction of academic track.

This test is the first exam that allows students to set their preparation direction in line with the changes in the 2022 CSAT system. For 3rd-year students, the test will be conducted in the Korean and Mathematics areas with a 'common subject + elective subject' structure according to the 2022 CSAT system. For the 3rd-year Korean and Mathematics areas, standard scores and grades will be calculated after adjusting elective subject scores using the 'common subject' scores.

The Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education explained, "For all three grades, the questions are composed to be faithful to the curriculum, innovative, and to measure thinking ability and problem-solving skills, so that students who have been diligent in school classes can solve them."
