Yonsei University's additional test aftermath... "It's like there's another doctor."

Yonsei University has decided to take an additional exam next month due to the leakage of essay questions from time to time, but the impact of the entrance exam seems to be formidable.

As the quota is selected up to twice as much as the original quota, universities in the middle and lower ranks will be affected one after another.

Yonsei University said it will hold an additional essay test on Dec. 8, but it did not set a date for the announcement of successful applicants.

I just mentioned that it's before December 26th when all universities' ad-hoc enrollment is final.

The announcement of those who passed the first test originally conducted is December 13th, and registration is from December 16th to 18th.

In order to eliminate confusion, it is recommended that the announcement of those who passed the second additional examination be made 16 days in advance.

If it is delayed further, there could be a situation where test takers once register at another school and then cancel the registration after the announcement of successful applicants at Yonsei University.

Originally, Yonsei University's occasional applicants tend to move a lot, so last year, the same number of applicants was 259, but the final applicants were up to 312 in the preliminary round.

If the garden is doubled this time, the confusion can be even greater.

Yonsei University said there was no additional pass for the second test, but the situation could change again if the court decides not to announce the first successful applicants.

The test takers who demanded the retest say they will continue the lawsuit if Yonsei University removes additional passes from the second test.

As the number of students increases, most universities' natural science acceptance lines can also fall in a chain.

As other universities have not been able to fill the seats that have been moved to Yonsei University's additional acceptance, some expect that the number of people will be moved on time.

[Im Seong-ho / CEO of Jongno Academy: Through the second essay test, the top students may be selected more from the occasional examination, and the competition structure of the top students in the regular examination may be weakened, and the acceptance level of the regular examination may be lowered in the top universities."]

The number of successful applicants for the 2027 school year will decrease as much as the number of applicants to be selected this time.

Currently, first-year high school students may be directly affected by the entrance examination.

[Lee Joo-ho / Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education: The quota for the next year (2027 school year) will be reduced by the amount of over-captions. The government will demand a reduction in capacity.]

Some predict that Yonsei University will make it difficult to solve the second additional exam questions so that the first and second successful applicants will almost overlap, but this could lead to another issue of equity.
