It is the same for test takers that the corona situation is harsh ahead of an important moment in life. Tomorrow (25th), there will be 100 days left until the SAT, and there are many things to do from time to time to receive applications and even finalize, but everything is unclear.

Yonsei University recently requested a review from the University Education Council to postpone the essay exam schedule scheduled for October after the SAT.

Also, in the student department's comprehensive screening, we plan to conduct interviews in a non-face-to-face manner.

[Yonsei University officials: I thought and reviewed a lot about the fact that if a large number of people take the test before the SAT, it could affect the SAT (schedule)... .] A

little over 10% of universities have changed their admissions schedule until last month.

It's because of Corona 19, but it's only confusing for high school 3rd graders.

[High school 3rd student: (For essay exam) There are many schools with overlapping dates. That's why I'm going to predict what kind of school I'll go to and then prepare... .]

[High school 3 students: (interviews) All non-face-to-face or face-to-face at some universities, I'd like to set the criteria and inform them accurately.] If the

corona situation does not improve , the university entrance exam schedule that is approaching 100 days in the future. It becomes uncertain.

The Ministry of Education has repeatedly stated that there will be no change in the schedule for the SAT exam, but if the situation worsens, such as raising social distancing to three stages, there is no choice but to review the test schedule or method.

[Yoo Eun-hye/Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education: Prepare necessary preparations under the premise that the 3rd step of social distancing (in the metropolitan area) can come out at any time... .]

Seoul Superintendent Cho Hee-yeon also stressed that it is necessary to apply the transition to the third level of distance classes by the 11th of next month, even in metropolitan areas such as Seoul and Gyeonggi.
