In Chungnam, a total of 19,262 applicants registered for the 2026 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT), which is an increase of 1,564 compared to last year.

According to the Chungnam Office of Education on September 8, registration was held from August 21 to September 5. By applicant status, 14,751 were current students (76.6%), 3,775 were graduates (19.6%), and 736 were those who passed the qualification exam (3.8%).

By gender, there were 9,783 male applicants (50.8%) and 9,479 female applicants (49.2%).

By test district, the number of applicants increased in Cheonan (558), Asan (448), Seosan (344), Hongseong (178), Boryeong (40), and Nonsan-Gyeryong (37), while only Gongju saw a decrease of 41 applicants. This is attributed to an increase in the number of third-year high school students, due to the higher birth rate in 2007.

The 2026 CSAT will be held on November 13, and the preliminary briefing will take place at the designated test centers at 10 a.m. on November 12.

The Chungnam Office of Education announced that it will thoroughly prepare, including designating test centers and inspecting broadcasting equipment, to ensure a "flawless CSAT."
