“September mock test, similar to last year’s SAT, or a little easier”

[아시아경제 장세희 기자]It was analyzed that the simulation evaluation of September, which was carried out on the 16th, did not come out with a high level of difficulty, and that the questions were similar or somewhat easier than last year’s SAT.

In the case of the Korean language field, the general analysis from the entrance exam experts is that the exam was slightly easier than last year’s SAT, or similar to last year’s SAT, as in June’s simulation. In esoteric literature, a question related to the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) was also presented.

Seong-ho Lim, Executive Director of Sky Education at Jongno Academy, said: “Overall, the connection to EBS was clear and was a bit easier than the SAT from the previous year.”

It is analyzed that the field of mathematics is similar or somewhat easier than the SAT of the previous year. The provisional type 21 is a graph of the sine and cosine functions, and the number 30 is an equation of the derivative and the tangent of the exponential function.

It is an assessment that the English section, which is an absolute assessment, was also assessed with similar difficulty to the SAT last year. Some analyzes say that EBS’s enrollment rate was the highest at 73.3%, and that it would have played a significant role in reducing the burden on students.

The entrance exam industry predicted that the proportion of repeaters in the September mock assessment is high, so repeaters will continue to be strong on this year’s SAT.

Representative Lim said: “The repeater rate was generally 12-14% in September, but last year it was 16.4%, the highest in 10 years, and this year, 16.0%.” It is likely to be higher or higher, leading to strong retraining, ”he said.
