[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] The Gyeongsangnam-do Office of Education announced on the 14th that 28,337 third-year high school students from 158 high schools in the province will take the April nationwide joint academic achievement test for third-year students.

The test will be held from 8:40 a.m. to 4:37 p.m., covering five areas: Korean, Mathematics, English, Korean History, and Inquiry (Social Studies/Science).

Unlike the March nationwide joint academic achievement test, which includes first- and second-year courses, the April test is the first exam for third-year courses and includes the Science Inquiry II subject, expanding the range of inquiry subjects available for selection.

For convenience, students with severe hearing impairments will be provided with written test materials (scripts) for the English listening test, and students with mild visual impairments will be given exam papers enlarged to 200%.

Answer keys and explanations for this test will be distributed to students after the test is completely finished, and individual score reports will be available online from May 3 to 31.

The Gyeongnam Office of Education plans to upload item analysis data collected and analyzed from the test results of 96 high schools in the province immediately after the test to the Gyeongnam University Admission Information Center website, to be used as feedback materials for each school and student.

Hong Jeong-hee, Director of Career Education at the Gyeongnam Office of Education, said, “By taking the test under the same system as the 2022 College Scholastic Ability Test, third-year students will have the opportunity to adapt to the changed CSAT system, and we hope the test data will be used as collaborative materials for students, parents, and teachers in college admissions.”
