Concerns are growing over the spread of Corona 19, 100 days ahead of the University Academic Proficiency Test held on December 3rd.

The 2021 SAT is definitely 100 days ahead today (25th).

In particular, this year, with signs of a recurrence of Corona 19, voices of concern are rising rather than encouragement to test takers.

If the spread of Corona 19 in the metropolitan area is not caught and the social distancing is upgraded to three stages, all schools must close and take remote classes.

Yesterday, Deputy Prime Minister Yoo Eun-hye and Minister of Education said, "We will make necessary preparations in advance on the premise that the third stage of social distancing in the metropolitan area can come out at any time."

Seoul Superintendent Cho Hee-yeon said, "Even in the metropolitan area, there is a need to apply an operation plan suitable for the current situation, such as switching to a remote class equivalent to the third stage by September 11," he requested to switch to a remote class.

High school 3 goes to school every day considering the specificity that he is facing college entrance exams even in the situation of Corona 19, but when it reaches stage 3, school is completely stopped.

Some analysts say that if life habits are disturbed and remote classes are prolonged, it is disadvantageous for high school seniors.

Retakers are also confused.

As the government has closed large academies with more than 300 students by the 30th of this month, students taking full-scale academy re-entry classes are flocking to study cafes or small academies.

Some parents have argued that studying in these facilities is more risky and that re-entrants should be allowed.

In the education world, the theory of acting and adjusting the difficulty of the SAT continues to rise.

Gyeonggi Superintendent Lee Jae-jung appeared on a radio program on the 20th and said, "If students come to a situation where they can't take the test because of the risk of infection, the problem is serious." Didn’t you?"

As the first semester school classes were delayed due to the spread of Corona 19, the Ministry of Education in March delayed the 2021 school exam day, which was planned for November 19, after two weeks.

The Ministry of Education is planning to take it on December 3rd as scheduled without delaying the exam day, which has already been postponed once.

The Ministry of Education said that it is planning to submit questions to the level of previous years, saying that lowering the test difficulty is not necessarily advantageous for high school seniors.

Admission experts advised that candidates should maintain their learning patterns as much as possible as there are many variables in this year's college admissions schedule.
