As the June mock evaluation for the 2027 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT), administered by the Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation, was held on the 4th, the most common response in the initial survey on test-takers' perceived difficulty was "very high."
According to the results of the ongoing perceived difficulty survey as of the afternoon of the 4th, 30.2% out of 53 respondents answered "very high." This was followed by ▲ "slightly low" at 22.6%, ▲ "average" at 20.8%, ▲ "slightly high" at 15.1%, and ▲ "very low" at 11.3%.
The combined percentage of "very high" (30.2%) and "slightly high" (15.1%) was 45.3%, indicating a prevailing opinion that the overall exam was felt to be somewhat difficult. On the other hand, the combined percentage of "slightly low" and "very low" also reached 33.9%, showing a mixed perception of difficulty among test-takers.
However, as this is an early-stage survey with only 53 respondents as of the 2:00 PM hour, test-takers should be cautious about premature interpretations. If more test-takers participate in the survey after the exam has completely concluded, the response percentages may change. Therefore, the exact trend in perceived difficulty for this June mock exam will likely need to be monitored further through future tally results.
Meanwhile, the June mock evaluation, administered by the Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation, is regarded as an important indicator to indirectly gauge the direction and difficulty of the CSAT. Consequently, attention is expected to focus on future additional response results, as well as the analysis of perceived difficulty by subject and area.
