[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] According to the Gyeongnam Office of Education, 28,207 third-year students from 159 high schools in the province will take the nationwide April mock exam for high school seniors held on the 13th.

Organized by the Gyeonggi-do Office of Education, this exam will be taken by 387,583 students from 1,847 high schools nationwide.

The exam will be conducted from 8:40 AM to 4:37 PM, covering five subject areas: Korean, Mathematics, English, Korean History, and Social/Science Inquiry.

Korean History is a mandatory subject, and students who do not take it will not receive score data.

According to the Gyeongnam Office of Education, this exam is structured in accordance with the College Scholastic Ability Test system, with Korean and Mathematics presented in a common + elective subject format.

The elective subjects for Korean are ‘Speech and Writing’ and ‘Language and Media’, and for Mathematics are ‘Probability and Statistics’, ‘Calculus’, and ‘Geometry’, with students allowed to choose one subject from each.

In the Social/Science Inquiry area, students may select up to two subjects regardless of their academic track.

Students taking the exam at home due to COVID-19 infection can download the test papers from the nationwide mock exam online system or the Gyeongnam University Admission Information Center website, but their scores will not be processed.

Answer sheets and explanations will be distributed to students after the exam is completely finished, and individual score reports will be provided online from May 2 to May 27.

Schools can print out the score data to notify students, which can be used for study planning or college admission counseling materials.

The Gyeongnam Office of Education plans to distribute item analysis data collected and analyzed from 96 high schools in the province immediately after the exam through the Gyeongnam University Admission Information Center website.

Statistics such as correct answer rates, discrimination indices, and item response for Korean, Mathematics, and English will be posted to be used as feedback materials by school and student.

Hwang Heung-gwi, Director of Career Education, said, “We hope that high school seniors will have the opportunity to adapt to the 2023 College Scholastic Ability Test system by taking an exam with the same format, and that the evaluation results can be used as collaborative materials for college admission among students, parents, and teachers.”
