Today (17th), the 2023 College Scholastic Ability Test will be held.

On the day of the CSAT, it used to suddenly get cold, but fortunately it was chilly this morning.

We connect reporters who are out in front of the exam hall.



Reporter Kim Deok-hyun, it's still early, but please tell us about the atmosphere there.

Yes, today I am at Yeouido Girls' High School in Seoul, where the CSAT will be held.



As predicted by the Korea Meteorological Administration, the weather today is a little chilly without a cold wave.



As there are about 2 hours left until 8:10 in the morning, when you have to finish entering the room, you can't see the examinees yet.



This year, the Ministry of Education is also banning cheering matches in front of the exam hall, so it seems that a relatively quiet atmosphere will continue even when the entrance time approaches.



A total of 508,000 students take the test for this exam.



After a while, you can enter the test center from 6:30 am, and you must prepare your admission ticket and ID.



If you lose your admission ticket, you can obtain a temporary admission ticket at the administration office in the test center by presenting a photo identical to the one attached on the application form and your ID.



Electronic devices cannot be brought into the test center, and even if you do, you must submit them before the first period.

Do you think it's good to get out of the house a little earlier this year because of the corona?

It is recommended that test takers arrive at the test center earlier than 8:10 a.m., which is the closing time of admission, as they must take their body temperature and check for COVID-19 symptoms before entering the test room.



Even if you suddenly develop COVID-19 symptoms in the morning, you can take the test in a segregated testing room.



Since you will be required to wear a mask throughout the test, it is a good idea to bring an extra mask in case it is damaged or lost.



During lunchtime after the 1st and 2nd periods, you must install the paper partitions you were provided with, and be careful not to eat or talk with others.
