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 'Yu Hwang Wu Language Essay'.



▲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.
