<Anchor> The
2022 college scholastic ability test will be held shortly. We will connect with reporters who are out of the exam room to find out about the news.
Reporter Ha Jeong-yeon, how is the atmosphere of the scene?
<Reporter>
Yes, I am in front of Yeouido High School in Seoul right now.
Students are arriving one after another right now before the closing time of check-in, 8:10 am, and today (18th), as the weather forecast, it is a little chilly without a cold wave for the SAT.
A total of 509,000 students take the exam this year.
Candidates can enter the examination hall from 6:30 am, but they must complete the check-in by 8:10 am.
Since everyone has to undergo a temperature check, it is recommended to arrive at least 30 minutes before the closing time.
If the temperature is 37.5 degrees or higher or if you have symptoms such as coughing, you will take the test at a separate test center.

Yes, I think it would be better to go early today. Reporter Ha, and today, it is said that there are some things that students should keep in mind while taking exams.
<Reporter>
Yes, candidates are required to wear a mask throughout the exam.
Valve-type or mesh-type masks are prohibited, and it is advisable to bring an extra mask in case it is damaged or lost.
In addition, the use of a water purifier is prohibited for quarantine purposes, so you must bring your own drinking water.
It is recommended to bring extra clothes as the windows are opened every hour to ventilate.
As in previous years, all electronic devices are prohibited from being brought into the testing room.
Smart watches and Bluetooth earphones are also prohibited, so if you have brought them, you must return them to the supervisor before the start of the first period.
