[사회]’Corona SAT’ after second period

[앵커]

The 2021 College Aptitude Test, which started this morning, is already in progress for the second-class math test.

As it is the first ‘Corona SAT’, the test site setting was different from previous years.

Some examinees wore full-length quarantine clothing and took the test.

Yes, how is the situation of the test site?

[기자]

Yes, the second class math test is currently in progress.

It starts at 10:30 and runs until 12:10.

For 100 minutes, students from the science department solve the math hypotype and students from the liberal arts department solve the math for 100 minutes.

This year, 493,000 people take the SAT at more than 1,300 test sites across the country.

Also, for this year’s SAT, you must wear a mask throughout the exam, but mesh and valve masks are prohibited.

The 60cm wide and 45cm high screens are also different from previous years.

Water purifiers on campus are also not available, so you will need to prepare the water and drinks yourself.

Windows are kept open during breaks for ventilation, so students should also pay attention to staying warm.

After a while, it is lunch time starting at 12:10.

Candidates must eat with their own lunch box in their seats and movement between seats is prohibited.

There are many restrictions until the last minute, but the candidates committed to taking the exam today without regret.

Let’s hear it for yourself.

[김기태 / 수험생 : (책상 위 가림판이) 불편한 점이 없진 않습니다. 그래도 시험 보는 데는 집중만 한다면 문제없이 해결할 수 있을 것 같습니다. 후회 안 남기고 오겠습니다.] [앵커]

Yes, especially this year’s SAT will be held in conjunction with the Corona 19 quarantine. Were there many differences from previous years?

[기자]

Yes it is.

At Gyeongbokgung High School, the examinees who completed the Korean language exam of the first class around 10:30 a little earlier left the hall first.

The reason was Corona 19.

I don’t have to take the SAT because I apply for admission at any time, but I left early because I was worried about getting infected at the test site.

As such, this year’s SAT is the so-called ‘Corona SAT,’ so there are many scenes that have not been seen before.

First, it was pretty quiet in front of the test center.

Until last year, I was able to see third and second graders gathering in front of the school gate of the testing center to cheer on the third graders.

However, this year, when the Ministry of Education recommended refraining from group cheers, the wave of support disappeared.

Parents also saw only the candidates in front of the school gate and immediately turned around.

Test supervisors also handed out hand sanitizers to examinees, dressed in “fully armed” quarantine uniforms, masks and face shields.

Even candidates who were in a hurry could go to the testing room only after having their body temperature measured with a thermal imaging camera at the entrance to the testing center.

At a test site in Incheon, some students came to take the test in white quarantine uniforms.

This is an unprecedented test taken with the COVID-19 quarantine measures.

I hope that all examinees show their abilities to the fullest for today.

I will continue to deliver SAT news here today.
