In addition, to help first-time student examinees fully understand important instructions related to the CSAT, the office will distribute informational posters on CSAT guidelines to high schools across the province.

Furthermore, to help students prepare for the CSAT and meet the minimum academic requirements, the office is focusing on tailored support for each school and examinee through initiatives such as the "Self-Directed Learning School Culture" program, and the Gangwon College Admission Support Center's △strategic analysis for high scores in each CSAT subject △final review using past exam questions and error notes △online CSAT lecture programs △visiting interview academies △personalized college admission consulting △and online essay writing courses.
