Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education Announces Analysis of 2022 CSAT Regrading Results

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Cho Hyung-joo] The Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education analyzed and announced the results of the 2022 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) scoring, which was held on the 18th of last month as the first integrated liberal arts and science type.

According to the Office of Education on the 16th, the Gwangju College Admission Directors Council and the Career and College Admission Support Team analyzed the actual scoring results based on current high school seniors and found that Korean, Mathematics, and English were all difficult.

The standard scores that distinguish between grade 1 and grade 2 by subject were 131 points for Korean and 137 points for Mathematics.

The percentage of students achieving grade 1 in English (raw score of 90 or above) was analyzed to be 6.25%, which is less than half compared to last year’s 12.66%, indicating a considerably difficult test.

Regarding the highest standard scores, which indicate the difficulty level by subject, the highest score in Korean was 149 points, up 5 points from last year’s 144 points, indicating a more difficult test compared to last year.

In particular, this year’s highest score was the second highest in the CSAT conducted over the past 10 years, showing significant discriminatory power.

The highest score for Mathematics ‘Calculus/Geometry’ was 147 points, and for ‘Probability and Statistics’ it was 144 points, with a 3-point difference between the highest scores of the elective subjects.

Based on a total of 600 points for the three areas of Korean, Mathematics, and Inquiry (excluding English and Korean History), the possible application scores for each university were analyzed.

Seoul National University is predicted to accept applicants with around 404 points for humanities and around 405 points for natural sciences. The natural sciences data is based on a sample of students meeting Seoul National University’s test criteria (different combinations of Science Inquiry I+II, II+II).

Korea University and Yonsei University are predicted to accept applicants with around 391 points for humanities and around 396 points for natural sciences.

The possible application score for Gwangju National University of Education is around 365 points, for Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) around 400 points, and for the newly established Korea Energy Engineering University around 400 points.

For Chonnam National University, the humanities possible application scores are predicted as follows: English Education Department 362 points, Korean Language Education Department 360 points, Public Administration Department 359 points, Business Administration Department 356 points, Political Science and Diplomacy Department 349 points, Korean Language and Literature Department 347 points, with humanities overall around 341 points.

For natural sciences, the predicted scores are: Medical School 414 points, Dental School (Dentistry) 409 points, Pharmacy Department 406 points, Veterinary Medicine 399 points, Electrical Engineering 388 points, Nursing 366 points, Mathematics 365 points. For natural sciences, departments requiring Mathematics designation (Calculus/Geometry) are predicted at 353 points, and departments without Mathematics designation (Probability and Statistics/Calculus/Geometry all acceptable) around 347 points.

For Chosun University, the humanities possible application scores are predicted as follows: Police Administration Department 344 points, English Education Department 338 points, Korean Language Education Department 331 points, with humanities overall around 299 points.

For natural sciences, the predicted scores are: Medical School 410 points, Dental School 407 points, Pharmacy Department 405 points, Nursing Department 347 points, Mathematics Education Department 335 points, with natural sciences overall around 296 points.

This analysis and placement criteria scores are based on the 2022 regular admission guidelines, and the quota may change upon announcement of early admission carryover numbers.

The placement criteria scores are simple reference scores based on standard scores for possible application and should only be used as reference material.

Since the standard score is based on 600 points for Korean, Mathematics, and Inquiry excluding the absolute evaluation subjects English and Korean History, there may be significant variation depending on English grade scores.

Applicants should calculate converted scores for each university to assess advantages and disadvantages before applying to the respective departments.

Meanwhile, the Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education will hold an actual scoring result analysis briefing session for high school senior admission directors at 4 p.m. on the 17th at the Gwangju Student Independence Movement Memorial Hall auditorium.

After the briefing session, the Office of Education plans to provide the actual scoring explanation materials as videos on its YouTube channel to support students’ regular admission college applications.

Additionally, from the 20th to the 24th, a five-day ‘one-on-one face-to-face counseling for regular admission preparation’ will be conducted by career counseling teachers belonging to the Gwangju Career and College Admission Support Team and the Admission Directors Council.
