Busan Metropolitan Office of Education to Conduct First Nationwide Joint Academic Assessment of the Year on the 28th

High School Grades 10-11 Students, Current Academic Level Assessment

Grade 12 Students, College Entrance Exam Adaptability Test

Busan Metropolitan Office of Education (Superintendent Ha Yun-su) announced on the 26th that it will conduct the first nationwide mock exam of the year, the National Joint Academic Achievement Test, for high school students from grades 10 to 12 on the 28th.

The National Joint Academic Achievement Test is conducted to measure students' current academic levels, enhance their adaptability to the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT), and improve their self-directed learning abilities by providing career and college admission information.

The exam will be held at 110 high schools in the Busan area. The total number of test-takers is 66,830, with 22,516 in 10th grade, 22,518 in 11th grade, and 21,796 in 12th grade.

12th-grade students will take the exam similarly to the CSAT. However, Science Inquiry II and Vocational Inquiry, as well as the second foreign language and Chinese characters, will not be administered. The Korean language and mathematics sections can be taken as common subjects plus elective subjects, just like the CSAT. Korean history is mandatory, and students can take up to two subjects from 17 social and science inquiry subjects regardless of their academic track.

Test results will be available for printing from April 17 to May 1 through the National Joint Academic Achievement Test information system and will be directly notified to the test-takers.

Ha Yun-su, Superintendent of Busan Metropolitan Office of Education, said, "This mock exam serves as the starting point for the 2025 college entrance process, providing students with a good opportunity to check their time management and test adaptability," adding, "We will spare no effort in supporting students' college admissions, centered on the Busan Academic Development Institute."
