In the September mock exam for the 2027 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT), all 68 questions that were challenged have been deemed free of issues regarding the questions and answers. Consequently, the preliminary answers remain unchanged and have been finalized.
The Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation announced the results of the review of the mock exam questions on September 15, confirming the final answers.
After releasing the preliminary answers on September 2, the institute accepted challenges through a dedicated online board until 6 p.m. on September 5. A total of 154 challenges were submitted during this period.
Excluding opinions unrelated to the questions and answers, as well as cancellations and duplicate submissions, the actual review focused on 68 questions, totaling 130 cases.
By subject area, the largest number of challenges came from social studies, with 20 questions. This was followed by English with 17 questions, Korean with 14, vocational studies with 6, science with 5, and a total of 4 from the second foreign language and classical Chinese, and 2 from mathematics. In English, questions 19 to 23 were among the 17 under review, while in Korean, 7 common subject questions, 1 from speech and writing, and 6 from language and media were included.
In social studies, the review included 5 questions from social and cultural studies, 4 each from ethics, philosophy, and political and legal studies, 2 from East Asian history, and 1 from Korean geography.
The institute concluded that all 68 questions were free of issues after a review by an external expert committee that did not participate in the question formulation, followed by a final review by the challenge committee. The results of the review and the responses for each question have been made public on the institute's website.
Meanwhile, the 2027 CSAT is scheduled to take place on November 19.
