Superintendent Lee went on to emphasize the importance of the minimum CSAT score requirement in the college admissions process. He stated, "For the 2026 college entrance, both the academic record-based and comprehensive admissions tracks may have significantly different acceptance standards depending on whether the minimum CSAT score requirement is applied," advising, "While managing your grades is important, you must check the minimum CSAT criteria for your target universities and prepare thoroughly." He added, "If you make a detailed plan until the day of the CSAT and prepare all the way through the regular admissions period, you will achieve good results." Lastly, he said, "Don't get discouraged; just move forward step by step as planned," and promised, "Our Office of Education will walk with you and hold your hand until the very end of the admissions process."

The Gwangju Office of Education is actively preparing support measures, such as providing customized college admissions programs, to help third-year students systematically prepare for college entrance.
