[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] The ruling date for the cancellation lawsuit regarding the correct answer for question 20 of the 2022 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) Life Science II has been set for the 17th, resulting in the postponement of the early admission successful candidates announcement from the 16th to the 18th.

On the 10th, the Ministry of Education announced that the schedule for providing scores and subsequent college admission schedules would be changed following the ruling on the Life Science II cancellation lawsuit.

The deadline for announcing early admission successful candidates will be postponed from the 16th to the 18th. The regular admission period will remain unchanged, from the 30th to January 3rd of next year.

With the delay in the early admission announcement schedule, the registration period for successful candidates has also been postponed by one day, from the 18th to the 21st. The period for filling vacancies due to non-registration will be from the 22nd to the 28th. The final deadline for vacancy registration is the 29th.

The scores of 6,515 Life Science II test takers will be provided online starting from 8 PM on the 17th. They can be checked through the Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation’s CSAT score certificate online issuance system. Universities can also use this system to verify scores and utilize them for early admission screening.

The Korea Council for University Education plans to revise the college admission schedule in the "2022 College Admission Basic Matters" and notify universities accordingly.

The Ministry of Education stated, "We will make every effort to operate the college admission process stably through close consultation with the Korea Council for University Education and universities."

On the same day, the Seoul Administrative Court Administrative Division 6 (Presiding Judge Lee Ju-young) announced that the first trial ruling for the cancellation lawsuit filed by 92 Life Science II test takers against the Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation regarding the correct answer decision would be delivered at 1:30 PM on the 17th.

The day before, the court accepted the injunction request to suspend the enforcement of the correct answer filed by the 92 test takers who claimed there was an error in question 20 of Life Science II, suspending the effect of the correct answer until the main lawsuit ruling. On that day, the Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation notified score reports leaving the Life Science II subject blank.
