The city office of education emphasized, "With only one month left until the CSAT, this is the final phase for review and consolidation," adding, "Students should take mock exams according to the actual test schedule and develop their own problem-solving strategies within the allotted time."

The 2026 CSAT will begin at 8:40 a.m. with the first session and end at 4:37 p.m. with the inquiry section. For those taking the second foreign language or classical Chinese, the test will conclude at 5:45 p.m. The office advised students to adjust their test-taking rhythm according to their selected subjects and to maintain their physical condition through thorough health management during the remaining period. Additionally, since anxiety may increase, emotional support from parents and teachers is also necessary.

Subject-specific study strategies were also presented. For Korean, the linkage rate with EBS textbooks is expected to be high, so students should carefully review explanations, summaries, and passages. In mathematics, it is important to minimize mistakes on easier questions and prepare for problems with complex calculations. For English, the office recommended focusing on long reading passages and analyzing "attractive distractors," while for inquiry subjects, understanding core concepts and data analysis skills for each subject are crucial.

Superintendent Lee Jungseon stated, "The top priority during the remaining period is to maintain optimal condition through thorough health management," and added, "I hope all test-takers stay focused until the end and achieve excellent results."
