Korean Language Level 1 86% ‘Language and Media’
1st grade math 93% ‘calculus and geometry’
Both subjects are taken more by undergraduates and standardized scores are also beneficial
It also increases cross-applying intent for higher ranking science students.
This year, which is the second year of the liberal science and liberal arts integrated test, the phenomenon of “scientific bias” was confirmed in the first grade in Korean and mathematics. The number of high-ranking science students wanting to cross-apply to liberal arts is expected to increase from last year, so there is the prospect that the so-called “invasion of literature” will become more intense.
On the 11th, following the analysis of the CSAT scores of 26,000 students from 87 high schools by the Seoul Middle School Education Guidance Research Association, the percentage of students who chose “Language and Media” among students who received the first year in Korean language area increased from 70.88% last year to 85.58% this year, increased by nearly one percentage point. In the case of mathematics, 93.45% of first graders chose ‘calculus’ or ‘geometry’.
The analysis of admissions companies is similar. Jongno Academy analyzed the scores of 4,968 high school students and graduates who applied for this year’s college entrance exam and found that 72.1 percent of first-grade Korean language and media students class chose language and media, compared to 65.0% last year. The percentage of students who chose calculus and geometry among first grade math students also increased from 85.3 percent last year to 88.9 percent.
Students who choose language and media from the Korean language and calculus and geometry from mathematics are usually science majors. Jongno Academy calculated that 44.4% of science students and 27.0% of liberal arts students took the language and media test in this year’s CSAT. This is an increase from last year, when 35.8% of science students applied for languages and media. According to Uwei, the percentage of college students among the calculus and geometry test takers were 90.4% and 85.8%, respectively.
Furthermore, it is analyzed that ‘gate and encroachment’, which means gate and tails application, will become easier as the problem of different merits and disadvantages for each elective subject is repeated in this year’s college entrance examination. This is because the language and media most selected by college students, and the standard scores of calculus test takers are higher than the standard scores of other subjects. According to Jongno Academy, the highest standard score in the Korean language area was 134 points for language and medium and 130 points for speaking and writing, a difference of 4 points. In the mathematics area, the highest standard score for calculus was 145 points and the highest score for probability and statistics was 142 points, a difference of 3 points.
Jongno Academy conducted a sample survey of 4,908 science students from last month’s 18th to the last 8th. As a result, 27.5% of students with Korean, Math, and Survey percentiles of 270 or higher were willing to do cross-demand for the liberal arts was counted as It increased by 19.0% last year. Lim Seong-ho, CEO of Jongno Academy, said, “The structure where undergraduates have an advantage in mathematics is appearing as it is, and as more undergraduates are focused on ‘languages and media’, undergraduates they can have an advantage in both mathematics and the Korean language.” It shows clearly.”
