Summer vacation the optimum period for the exam candidates preparing for the
2011 academic year college entrance test to upgrade score, position and weak
points starts soon.
It is undeniably an important period to make a frontal attack with specific
plans such as what to make up, and which option between occasional screening
and regular screening to choose from in the application based on the results of
college scholastic ability simulated test(CSAT) taken in last Jun. 10.
The point is that exam candidates whose CSAT score seems more advantageous
than school record score are encouraged to apply for regular screening, and
students that are expected to show better success in college entrance with
school record score or ones own various activities and specialty had better
be tuned to occasional screening.
Summer vacation is the critical point to approach success in college
entrance., says the representative of Yoo Hwang-Woo Language Essay
Composition Study during vacation period can pick up speed only when exam
candidates pin-point the present location of their own.
The vacation by all means shall be utilized as the period to round up relevant
information and know-how on education policy and systems that are spotlit
such as EBS lecture on CSAT and admissions officer system etc.
Period to Make Up the Weak Points of CSAT for Regular Screening Applicants
To the exam candidates that decided regular screening as the goal, vacation
will serve as the period for intensive make-up for their score and weak points.
Government policy is to raise the rate of association of this CSAT with EBS
textbooks up to 70%, but it is also necessary to experience various modified
problems after understanding basic concepts.
In the case of language section, practice to read long articles whose contents
are tricky within given time limit and solve problem is important, and also in
mathematical section, students are required to be able to solve problems mixed
with various concepts without significant hassle by raising basic understanding
and applying ability on key concepts. In foreign language section, problem type
or vocabulary can be changed also by utilizing EBS textbook articles, so study
for such aspect also should start.
Representative Yoo Hwang-Woo adds First of all, most frequently presented
types and accurate concept should be identified. As the degree of difficulty
of problems is anticipated similar to last year, it is a period to build up
know-how for repetitive study.
Also, college scholastic aptitude test(CSAT) reflected sections, methods and
value weighted sections differ by the colleges. For instance, when considering
colleges that assign weighted value on mathematical section and science
exploring section, students are required to study on these two sections
intensively. The thing is one should turn the section of CSAT that the
desired colleges requires advantageous to oneself. Also lets go for study
on CSAT subjects like exploration section determined after simulated test.
Occasional screening applicants, to be equipped with minimum CSAT score that
desired college requires
As for occasional screening executed to select outstanding talents in various
fields first, about 60% of total recruiting quota are selected occasionally
this year. Thus, this period should become an opportunity to search and
prepare for advantageous screening through detailed comparison of screening
types and screening method by the recruiting periods of desired college.
Since the variety of recruiting screening like essay centered screening,
school record score screening, screening through various documents and
screening by relevant field activities may serve as element to raise the
rate of success in occasional screening, one should choose the option that
suit oneself among them or prepare intensively by scrutinizing which college
offers the option.
Of course, what matters at this point is that such diversity of occasional
screening requires certain level or beyond in CSAT score. Lets make sure
to maintain at least certain level of CSAT score that each college specified
during this vacation.
For occasional recruiting, attack on admission officer system may also be
a strategy for success in college entrance
It is also worthwhile to set up a strategy to attack on the admission officer
system that selects outstanding students based on personality, leadership
and relevant field activities etc during this vacation period.
In particular, as the government chose to actively support 60 or so colleges
to ensure more efficient operation of admission officer system, the system
became available as a strategy to approach successful college entrance with.
While the number of students that these colleges will select through
admission officer system in 2011 is totally 32,000 students or so,
increase of 12,000 compared to last year also adds attraction to this system.
As this system is intended to select students that remained faithful to school
life, lets gain various activity experiences in the field of desired major
while holding on to basic CSAT study during the vacation.
Summer Vacation Offers Synergy Effects in Study only when Body and Mind are
Composed
While being a period to make up or upgrade deficient parts, vacation is
an important period when chance for success in college entrance may be gone
even with slight negligence in an instance. Therefore, keep some composure
of body and mind while scheduling and executing study plan by the periods
and subjects regularly just as doing with school study.
It is also efficient to raise study ability to prepare a moment to release
tension by doing what one longed to do in addition to the study once a week
at least. Study had better start out in tune with actual CSAT test hour.
Lets start study of the day with the subject one likes to raise
concentration ability.
Starting morning of the day by recalling the college, major or CSAT score
that one set up will help in organizing the brain neatly. Of course, health
management is an essential. Give some motion to the body and eat the food
that will boost appetite rather than sitting long hours on the chair for no
reason.
