Even before the lingering storm of college entrance exam for 2010 academic year
is gone, the 2011 academic year college scholastic ability test already entered
its count-down. To-be high school 3rd graders testees and repeaters are facing
a period left with not even 'D-300' that they should jump-start preparation
in earnest for college scholastic ability test.
In particular, as the 2011 academic year college entrance exam is the last
college entrance test which will present questions from the same contents and
scope as earlier college scholastic ability tests, competitions are expected
fierce and tensions are rising among the testees. On top of that, candidates
screening methods of colleges grew much more diverse, and 'the 2011 college
entrance exam' is demanding even more tightly established test strategy than
ever before.
In order to shatter the 'weights' by the 'vagueness' on what and how to start
and college entrance policy etc different from last year, we set out for the
support of to-be-testees with the 'Study Strategy & Tips for Success in '2011
College Entrance Exam' with the help of the president of 'Yoo Hwang-Woo
Language Assay'.
▲Firmly establish the goal such as college and major that suit your career
vision and aptitude!
That is by all means the first thing you are to do before jump-starting college
scholastic ability test mode. When your goals are not firmly set up, your
preparation is very liable to fall prostrate not finding any clue after all.
Hence, you are advised to find out the aptitude and career path of your own,
check your own conditions, set up goal by deciding on five to six colleges
and majors that you want to enter, and then prepare for the college entrance
exam.
Once your goal is thus established, you are on your way to find the screening
requirements that suit your conditions and set up the exam strategy for
entrance to your desired college and major. Of course, on such basis,
sufficiently feasible specific study plan will also need be set up as well.
▲Devise study strategy by the periods for the college scholastic ability test
that is not even 300 days ahead!
The study strategy required for the testees by the major periods is the method
of using the time until the real test most effectively. Without setting up
strategy period-specifically like winter vacation, 1st semester, simulated test,
summer vacation and 2nd semester etc, you cannot but fall into a pitfall of
feeling monotonous throughout the test preparing period or doing only skin-
deep study on the lessons that you have accomplished so far. From March
when the 1st semester starts, it is best to proceed with preparation
for occasional application openings strategically with focus on regular
application opportunities. To look at application with mid upper level,
preparation for 3rd grade 1st semester intramural transcript also should
endeavored. During summer vacation that offers long study period with the
highest study efficiency among test preparation periods, you might seriously
determine whether to apply for occasional openings, and set up and prepare
for the goal by it. This period is also the days when you finally decide on
the elective courses of college scholastic ability test. In September which
is the period to jump-start full scale preparation for college scholastic
ability test, you really need simulated test based study. It means you are
demanded to be accustomed to the study of college scholastic ability test type.
You just need to arrange the question trends and types by solving previously
presented questions of college scholastic ability test by the areas, and
checking incorrect answers is a simply must.
▲Set up plan for occasional application openings in tune with the extended
opportunities of occasional screening!
The quota for 2011 academic year occasional application opening is estimated
230,000 or so which is an increase of 10,000 or so over last year. It means
occasional openings comprise the majority, which represents over 60% of the
entire application quota. Hence, to testees, setting up plan for occasional
openings is not a consideration done 'if necessary' but is a 'must'. In particular,
the criteria of occasional special openings that screened only
with transcripts and assay previously are anticipated to diversify to more
options like local balanced development, local leading talents, special talent
holder, excellent potential ability holder, and principal recommendation etc,
so testees can approach one step further toward success in college entrance
only if they check the major contents of each opening and prepare for openings
that are just right for themselves.
In addition, let's not forget to check that colleges are increasingly conducting
aptitude tests in occasional application openings. As aptitude test presents
questions in objective style unlike assay test, aptitude test can be applied
with relatively less burden for testees of intermediate level or lower
intermediate level.
▲Read out the Admission Officer System, and if it is not for advantage,
just forget it.
The colleges that execute admission officer system in occasional application
opening include 110 or so colleges like Seoul Nat'l University and Korea
University etc, and recruiting quota, 35,000, doubled that of last year.
It means one out of six students admitted in occasional application screening
this year enter college through admission officer system. Looking into the
screening contents of such admission officer system closely is also a way to
success in college entrance.
However, do not swept away in the mood of admission officer system extension.
In particular, once you find it disadvantageous to you after grasping the
admission officer system screening, do not struggle to manage to make up
required documents but it would be wise to forget it. In other words,
efficient for success in college entrance is to solidify your inside by
taking care of intramural transcript and college scholastic ability test
etc instead of preparing to meet the conditions admission officer system
requirements.
▲Maintain regular lifestyle and do not lose confidence!
Not even 300 days are left until college scholastic ability test. Short
period as the days may be for testees that are left tense in pursuit of the
goal, success in college entrance, 10 months in practice is never a short
period. As they are demanded, students should maintain steady lifestyle of
studying intensively and take rest bits by bits. For the conditions of body
and mind that may go astray at any moment, let's not forget that regular
pattern of life and health management are just essential.
Keeping up confidence is also a must. It is often the case that you may lose
heart when you see poorer score than you expected after you had pressed on
your study so hard. Just shake off a moment of anxiety and pick up your
confident to push forward what you have planned, and that is going to become
the foundation of determining the success in the 2011 college entrance.
