At this briefing session, Lim Seong-ho, CEO of Jongno Academy, regarded as the top entrance exam expert in Korea, will personally provide an overall review of the 2023 CSAT, expected university admission scores, and regular admission application strategies.

Specifically, the session will explain winning strategies for entrance exams, including ▲advantages and disadvantages according to elective subject score differences ▲expected cross-application rates between humanities and sciences in the integrated CSAT ▲prospects for the scale of regular admissions considering additional early admissions acceptance.

This briefing session is expected to be a final check opportunity for examinees and parents who are worried about college entrance ahead of the regular admission application period, which officially begins on the 29th, to gauge the admission cutoff scores.

Residents wishing to participate can pre-register through the Seongdong Entrance Exam Counseling Center website, and the first 300 registrants will receive the ‘2023 Regular Admission Placement Table.’ For examinees and parents who cannot attend on the day, the video will also be released on Seongdong-gu Office’s official YouTube channel.

The district provides various entrance exam strategy information according to different college admission systems, operating the Parents’ Academic Academy and holding college entrance strategy briefing sessions twice a year. It runs the ‘Seongdong Entrance Exam Counseling Center’ for middle and high school students, repeat test takers, and parents in the region, and the Parents’ Academic Academy and one-on-one student consulting have shown high responsiveness, leading efforts to strengthen entrance exam capabilities.

Mayor Jeong Won-oh said, “Although the CSAT is over and the entrance exam’s critical phase has passed, it is also important to establish personalized entrance strategies based on scores,” adding, “I hope that all students and parents attending this briefing session will be able to establish successful entrance strategies.”

On the 13th at 6 p.m., Oh Seung-rok, Mayor of Nowon-gu, attended the ‘2023 Academic Year Regular Admission Strategy Briefing Session’ held at the Nowon-gu Office auditorium.

This briefing session was organized to analyze the 2023 CSAT results and introduce regular admission application strategies to alleviate the anxiety felt by examinees and parents and provide high-quality educational information to district residents.

The event was attended by about 400 examinees and parents, including Mayor Oh Seung-rok, and proceeded in the order of the mayor’s greeting, opening, analysis of last year’s regular admission and 2023 CSAT results by teacher Yoon Hee-tae of Yeongdong Il High School, regular admission application strategies, and Q&A.

Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yoo Seong-hoon) will hold a ‘University Major Mentoring’ session for middle and high school students on the 17th at the lifelong learning center lecture room on the basement first floor of Geumcheon-gu Office.

In the ‘University Major Mentoring’ session, youth will be thoroughly guided from entrance exams to majors for eight departments across four universities. Students will have the chance to meet actual university seniors, listen to their stories, and ask questions to get a preview of campus life.

The participating departments have been carefully selected in fields that youth are most interested in, including Inha University’s Department of Aerospace Engineering, Duksung Women’s University’s Department of Pharmacy, Soongsil University’s Department of Chemical Engineering, and Ajou University’s Department of Cultural Contents.

Even if it is not their dream major, middle and high school students or parents who are curious about or want to explore certain majors can apply through the Geumcheon Career and Academic Support Center website.

Along with university major mentoring, Geumcheon-gu operates a booth for career exploration by conducting Enneagram tests (career aptitude tests) in cooperation with the Korea Enneagram Education Research Institute for youth who have not yet decided on their career or academic path.

Mayor Yoo Seong-hoon said, “To proactively prepare for the full implementation of the high school credit system in 2025, we will promote various career and academic programs involving the private sector, government, industry, and academia, including university major mentoring.”
