The First Nationwide High School Joint Academic Assessment of the Year to be Held on the 23rd... 1.2 Million Students to Participate

The first nationwide joint academic achievement evaluation of the year will be conducted on the 23rd, hosted by the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education.

On the 22nd, the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education announced that the exam will be administered to approximately 1.2 million students in grades 1 to 3 at 1,915 high schools across 17 cities and provinces nationwide (excluding 1st-year students in Jeonbuk). The number of test-takers is 410,000 in 1st grade, 400,000 in 2nd grade, and 390,000 in 3rd grade.

Regarding the incident last November where the academic achievement evaluation results for 2nd-year students, conducted by the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education, were leaked, the online score printing period for this evaluation will be shortened from 4 weeks to 2 weeks. Test-takers can print their score reports at their respective schools from April 17 to May 1.

The March academic achievement evaluation will be conducted under the integrated humanities and sciences CSAT system, as was done last year.

3rd-year students must take the Korean language and mathematics sections under a common and elective subject system. Both 2nd- and 3rd-year students can select up to two subjects from 13 inquiry areas (9 social studies and 4 science inquiry subjects) regardless of their academic track.

Students confirmed with COVID-19 must take the exam at home and can download the test papers online to complete the exam. Their scores will not be processed separately.

The test papers can be viewed on the websites of the 17 city and provincial offices of education.
