One Day Before the CSAT, Changwon Yongho High School Pre-Test Orientation ... "Do Your Best, Everyone!"

On November 12, one day before the 2026 College Scholastic Ability Test, a preliminary orientation for test-takers was held at test sites across Gyeongnam Province.

On this day, homeroom teachers in each third-year class at Changwon Yongho High School encouraged students by handing out exam admission tickets and snacks.

After receiving their admission tickets, students compared their assigned test sites, chatting, "Oh, that's nice. Yours is really close to your house," and "Ah, mine is so far, teacher."

The teacher of Class 7, Grade 3, repeatedly reminded students of the items to bring and important precautions, counting them off on their fingers.

"On your desk, you should only have your admission ticket, ID card, mechanical pencil, and a sign pen for computer grading. Nothing else. Don't put your water bottle on the desk. Since you can't use the water fountain, make sure to bring a few bottles of water. Wear whatever is most comfortable for you. The heating will be on, so it might get warm-it's better to wear something with a zipper."

After handing out gift bags with chocolate stick snacks and potato chips, the teacher added, "Don't eat them tonight-save them for tomorrow evening. Your stomachs are sensitive right now. Even if you get rice cakes or similar snacks, wait until after the test to eat them, okay?"

Then, as the students responded cheerfully, the teacher encouraged them, saying, "Do your best on the test. I really hope you all do well. Let's meet again on Monday."

On November 13, a total of 32,955 students in the Gyeongnam region will take the College Scholastic Ability Test at 1,277 test rooms in 105 general test sites throughout the province.
