"Kook Youngsoo was easy in general"...The key to securing discrimination.

[Anchor]
Unlike last year when it was the "Suneung", this year's Korean, math, and English subjects were all easy.

No killer questions were asked, but one or two tricky questions were asked for each subject, and the key is whether you can secure discrimination.

Reporter Baek Jong-gyu's report.

This year's CSAT stance was also excluded from the "killer question."

[Choi Joong-cheol / Chairman of the 2025 College Scholastic Ability Test: The so-called "killer questions" were excluded and the questions were presented to ensure discrimination based on the contents covered in the public curriculum]

The EBS connection rate has been increased to more than 50%, and the questions were presented only with the contents covered in the public curriculum.

EBS field teachers evaluated that the CSAT was easier than last year, when Korean, math, and English were all "insoluble."

[Yoon-gu / Hanyang University University High School Teacher: There are certain things that you may think are easy in general, but I would like to emphasize once again that questions that have discriminating power must be presented for each subject]

The test takers responded similarly, and most of them said that questions were easier than last year.

[Kim Nam-hyun / Seoul Dongseong High School 3rd grader: In Korean and English, there was no deep word, no difficult interpretation, and in math, there was no excessive calculation....]

[Um Joo-young / Seoul Semyung Computer High School 3rd grader: I think the level of difficulty felt was better than the previous year. I don't think there are any questions that I can't solve at all.]

The concern is whether it will be enough to secure discrimination.

Due to the expansion of the number of medical schools, the number of top-ranked N students has been the highest in 21 years, and if the CSAT becomes easier, there is a possibility that the equalizer will continue.

In the end, the entrance examination industry predicts that the top ranks can be divided into one or two questions.

[Im Seong-ho / CEO of Jongno Academy: Even if you are in the same first grade, if you say that there are thousands of students in the section that corresponds to the standard score, you will lose your competitiveness.]

With the test for each college applying for occasional applications starting this weekend, there is a possibility that many people may give up applying for occasional applications and turn to regular admission if the test is judged to be easy as a result of provisional grading.
