This year�s CSATs were as tough as the kids said
December 08, 2010
This year�s College Scholastic Ability Test was a tough one, with the number of students getting perfect scores plummeting.
And although the test writers promised in advance that 70 percent of the questions would come from lessons in workbooks published by a government-run education television channel, EBS, even the students who pored over those texts had a hard time.
�We will accept the criticism that when students worked on the questions they did not feel much connection to the workbooks of EBS,� Kim Seong-yeol, chief of Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation, said yesterday.
Releasing the test results yesterday, the institute said the number of students who received perfect scores sharply decreased.
In mathematics, only 35 students aced the exam, down from 463 in 2009; for the Korean language test, only 403 got all answers correct, down from 1,558 last year; in English, the number dipped from 4,642 last year to 1,383.
Only 11 students got perfect scores in all three major subjects compared to 19 last year.

Maybe there was less cheating this year or maybe the standards have dropped?
I feel my current students dont study as hard as my first class of students did. |
