Yeongdeungpo-gu (District Mayor Choi Ho-kwon) announced that it has prepared a special comprehensive plan to ensure that examinees can take the ‘2024 College Scholastic Ability Test’ on November 16 in the best possible condition.

This year, a total of 3,248 examinees will take the CSAT at nine test sites in the district, including one test site for mildly visually impaired examinees (Yeouido Middle School) and eight general test sites (Yeongdeungpo Girls' High School, Yeouido Girls' High School, Gwanak High School, etc.).

Accordingly, the district will implement a special comprehensive plan divided into four areas: ▲emergency transportation for examinees ▲public transportation support ▲noise prevention around test sites ▲safety around test sites.

First, the district will support emergency transportation vehicles to ensure examinees can enter the test sites on time. Administrative and volunteer vehicles marked with ‘Emergency Transportation for Examinees’ signs will wait at key points such as subway stations, bus stops, and intersections to take students who have difficulty finding the test site or are at risk of being late to the test site.

To facilitate the quick movement of examinees using public transportation, the district will adjust the dispatch intervals of village buses from 6:00 a.m. to 8:10 a.m. to increase service frequency. In addition, buses passing by test sites will display signs indicating their destination on the front windshield, and drivers will make announcements at nearby bus stops or when disembarking at the test site.

To help examinees concentrate on the test, thorough noise control will be enforced around the test sites. Road excavation and construction near the test sites will be suspended during the test day, and cooperation has been requested in advance to refrain from bus honking, sudden acceleration, and sudden braking while driving.

Also, temporary restoration and safety measures will be taken in sections where road excavation has not yet been repaired to ensure students can safely enter the test sites. On the test day, intensive crackdowns on illegal parking within 200 meters of each test site will be conducted to minimize traffic inconvenience.

Finally, the district will operate a ‘Traffic Countermeasures Situation Room’ from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on the test day to maintain close communication with related organizations such as the Seoul Metropolitan Government and to monitor traffic conditions around the test sites for prompt response.

Choi Ho-kwon, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo-gu, said, “We will do our best to support examinees who have worked hard for a long time so that they can fully concentrate on the test and take it in the best condition. Since an admissions briefing session for examinees and parents is also scheduled after the CSAT, Yeongdeungpo-gu will continue to support examinees until their admissions process is complete.”
