[민찬홍 / 출제위원장]Hi? I am Min Chan-hong, President of the 2021 College Scholastic Aptitude Test.
First of all, I would like to express my congratulations and gratitude to the candidates who have worked hard to prepare for the entrance examination even in the special difficult situation facing our society for the first time after the outbreak of Corona 19 about a year ago, the parents who cared well for the candidates and teachers who guided the candidates into a new learning environment. give.
In particular, I would like to express my deep gratitude to the people who have cooperated with the special quarantine measures for the SAT during the last two weeks.
Furthermore, I would like to thank the Korean Institute for Curriculum and Assessment and the on-site management staff who did not spare any support so that the questionnaire and review team could focus on the questionnaire work despite the double burden of quarantine and managing questions.
From now on, on behalf of the questions and reviewers, I will tell you about the basic direction of the 2021 college entrance examination.
This SAT test was formulated to accurately reflect the content and level of the current high school curriculum, maintaining the standard of the previous year’s questions, and to measure math skills required for a college education.
In particular, to help normalize secondary education, questions were presented focusing on the core and core contents of the curriculum. Even if the core contents of the syllabus were addressed in the existing exam, if necessary, the question type and problem solving method were changed and questions were asked again. .
More specifically, in the field of the Korean language, the questions were asked using materials of educational value in various fields and, in accordance with the sanctions, we tried to minimize misconduct among the examinees.
In the field of mathematics, issues such as the ability to understand and apply the basic concepts and principles of mathematics in the field of the curriculum, and the assessment of basic calculation and reasoning skills, etc., tried to avoid even excessively difficult questions when holistic thinking was required. .
The English section was formulated to measure basic listening, communication, and active reading skills within the vocabulary level established by the curriculum.
The area of Korean history was presented in a simple manner, focusing on key and important content according to the purpose of assessing the basic knowledge of Korean history.
The field of research includes social, scientific and labor search. The inquiry area was formulated to measure inquiry ability and problem-solving ability within the scope of the curriculum and, in particular, efforts were made to minimize bias between electives.
The second section of Chinese foreign language text was presented with questions to assess language skills necessary for basic communication and understanding of the culture of the corresponding language.
Overall, to ease the burden of excessive student preparation for exams in all areas and to help improve school education, questions were presented taking into account the scope and level of the current curriculum. Based on the analysis of the results of the simulation evaluations conducted twice this year I would like to reiterate that I tried to keep the basis for the questions of
The assignment of the questionnaire was considered in a comprehensive manner due to the importance of the study plan, the difficulty of the question, and the time required to solve it.
Finally, the EBS link was linked to EBS SAT textbooks and lectures published for the junior year of high school monitored by the Korea Institute for Curriculum and Assessment in 70% of the number of questions per subject area. and matter.
The linking method used concepts or principles, texts or data, central formulations or thesis, or a method to transform or rearrange questions.
So far, I have talked about the basic direction of the SAT 2021 exam. Thank you.
[사회자]From now on, we will have a sequence of questions and answers. I will first answer the questions I received online and then receive inquiries on the site.
Our secretary, Hyung-Wook Kim, will read the questions online. I will read the query online. Hankook Ilbo reporter Yoon-joo Lee asked you a question.
The problem of the educational gap caused by the crown has been pointed out several times. I would like to ask if the simulated score for June and September of this year was higher or lower than in previous years, and if these characteristics were reflected on the SAT.
[민찬홍 / 출제위원장]Through the analysis of the June mock exams and the September mock exams, no unusual points were found in the academic gap between graduates and enrollees, as well as the distribution of grades among those enrolled.
Therefore, we focus on maintaining the same trend as always in our questions. However, I can tell you that I was very careful that it became more difficult.
[사회자]I will ask you the following question. Hankook Ilbo reporter Park So-young asked him a question. I’m also curious about crown prevention and health management from questionnaires.
Please let us know if there were any crown variables in the questionnaire selection process and if there were rules of life that were different from those of previous years after admission and the period of admission. I wonder if there were no questionnaires that showed symptoms.
[민찬홍 / 출제위원장]Corona’s quarantine is a topic of interest. At the time of our admission, we all took a crown test. The results were supposed to come out a day later.
So, until the results were received, I refrained from contacting the committee members as much as possible. As a result of the test, all the voices came out.
However, the questionnaire has been closely followed by quarantine measures such as wearing a mask, checking a card to identify movement, or eating while adjusting time at a table divided into a row in a restaurant. There was none.
[사회자]Next, reporter Lee Hyun-joo from Asia Economy asked him a question. English was very difficult in the September mock assessment.
Do you think that the gap between the upper and lower ranks is really being resolved in the English subject that is taken as a relative assessment for the fourth year? I would like to ask you what kind of trend the test was on this SAT.
[민찬홍 / 수능출제위원장]English maintains the tone of the previous year using the purpose of the absolute assessment, but the keynote from the previous year refers to the keynote from the SAT from last year.
While the old trend remains, no effort has been made to specifically adjust the number of people between classes.
