<Reporter> The
SAT for the 2022 academic year started at 8:40 a.m. a little while ago at about 1,300 test centers across the country.
A total of 509,000 test takers who have been in high school and sophomore in high school under the Corona situation are taking the exam this time.
As the Ministry of Education asked for restraint, the raucous cheering match of the past year is gone.
The students entered the exam hall with the support of their families in a calm atmosphere.
[Cha Hye-jeong/Parent: I got up early, got up at 5 o'clock and asked for my son's favorite sandwich to buy, so I bought fruits and arrived on time using public transportation.] The
test runs until 5:45 pm.
If you have a fever of 37.5 degrees or higher when entering the room or have symptoms such as cough, you will take the test at a separate test center.
All candidates must wear a mask throughout the exam.
The partition, which received many complaints that it interfered with the exam last year, is installed on the desk only during lunch time.
For quarantine purposes, the use of a water purifier is prohibited, so you can only drink the water you brought with you.
The SAT Examination Committee said, "We have maintained the standard of questions asked for the previous year."
He emphasized that he tried to minimize the possibility of disadvantages among test takers by reflecting the level of test takers by Korean language, mathematics, and elective subjects identified through the results of the mock evaluation conducted in June and September.
