Information session for entrance exams, "Blood, Blood, Blood"...a war of wits in a complicated calculation

[Anchor]
Many parents and test takers flocked to the entrance exam information session held as soon as the 2025 academic year was over.

The CSAT is considered easy and there are many variables, so the test takers have a lot to consider.

Parents wait in a long line to enter the 2025 regular entrance examination briefing hall.

More than 1,000 seats have been prepared, but it is difficult to find empty seats quickly as parents and test-takers flock.

Parents focus on finding universities that can apply by comparing their children's CSAT scores with the reference table for regular recruitment.

When the briefing session begins, not to miss any of it, you can take pictures on your cell phone as well as take notes.

[Im Seongho / CEO of Jongro Academy: High school seniors should be a little conservative if they can afford it and don't just be optimistic that they can go on time enough, but do their best in early admission (I recommend you)]

In particular, the number of equalizers could increase as it is analyzed that the Korean language, math, and English, which determine the discrimination power of the CSAT, were somewhat flat compared to last year.

First of all, the first step in the strategy is to locate yourself, and the higher the rank, the more complicated the counting method is.

[Shin Jae-young / 3rd grader at Yangjeong High School, Seoul: I applied to medical school for all the early admissions. It's gotten complicated.I'm here to find out how I should apply rather than wait.]

There is a lot to consider as there is a lot of volatility in the recruitment unit, not only in the increase of medical school but also in the recruitment of non-major, and there are various methods of calculating grades for each regular screening.

[Kim Kyung Mi / Parents of test takers: It's so chaotic right now. The increase in medical school and the expansion of non-major are all connected, so parts such as cuts as of last year are meaningless.]

[Seo Ji-young / Parents of test takers: No matter where you ask, it will be different this year, so everyone is very confused because they said there was no data so far]

The CSAT is a relative evaluation after all, so I have to figure out my location and decide whether to focus on occasional recruitment or regular recruitment.

In particular, test takers and parents are expected to have a fierce psychological battle until the end, as the regular admissions, which attract a lot of N students, are expected to increase and support their beliefs.
