The 2027 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) is now just 100 days away. While focusing on studying until the exam day is crucial, students and parents should also keep track of important upcoming dates related to application submissions, mock exams, and early admissions.


The first key date to note is August 20, when online pre-entry for the CSAT application begins at 9 a.m. This online pre-entry will be available until September 3 at 6 p.m. Students can input their test subjects and personal information and pay the application fee.


However, completing the online pre-entry does not finalize the application. In-person applications will be accepted from August 24 to September 4 at local education offices and high schools across the country. Students who have completed the online pre-entry must visit the application site to verify their identity and submit necessary documents to receive their application confirmation.


Next, September 2 marks the date for the last mock exam organized by the Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation, the agency responsible for the CSAT. This will be the final opportunity for students to assess their readiness before the actual exam. Score reports will be distributed on September 29.


Following the mock exam, the early admission period will take place from September 7 to 11, during which universities will accept applications for early admission. Since each university may have different deadlines and times for application submissions, students should check the specific guidelines for their chosen institutions.


Finally, an essential date to remember is November 19, when the 2027 CSAT will be conducted. Results will be announced on December 11.


The remaining 100 days until the exam serve as a critical period for improving scores and preparing for the college admission process. It is advisable for students to mark these important dates on their calendars alongside their study schedules.
