As the June National Unified Academic Evaluation for high school first and second-year students in 2026, hosted by the Busan Metropolitan City Office of Education, was administered on the 4th, it is drawing attention that half of the responses in the perceived difficulty survey posted on the EBSI homepage indicated that the exam was "difficult."

According to the results of the perceived difficulty survey as of 2:30 p.m. on the 4th, the response "very difficult" accounted for the highest percentage at 27.8% out of 18 respondents. This was followed by "slightly difficult" (22.2%), "average" (22.2%), and "very easy" (22.2%), which all recorded the same ratio, while "slightly easy" was tallied at 5.6%.

Combining these results, the combined ratio of "very difficult" and "slightly difficult" stands at 50.0%, taking up half of the responses and showing a dominant opinion that the exam was felt to be somewhat difficult. On the other hand, the combined ratio of "slightly easy" and "very easy" also reached 27.8%, indicating that the perceived difficulty among test-takers is relatively diverse.

However, it is necessary to consider that the number of respondents in this survey as of 2:30 p.m. was merely 18, making it results from a very early stage. Since the sample size itself is not large, the response ratios are highly likely to change significantly if the number of participants increases in the future. The current point in time is right after the exam concluded, which is a stage before full-fledged responses have accumulated. Therefore, there is an assessment that rather than determining the difficulty solely based on these results, it is necessary to observe the additional tally trends.

Meanwhile, the June National Unified Academic Evaluation for high school first and second-year students is administered by the Busan Metropolitan City Office of Education and is regarded as an important exam to assess the academic achievement and CSAT adaptability of high school students nationwide.
