Episode 083: Last SAT (2)

"what?"

A brief exclamation came out of Lee Arin's mouth the moment she looked at the exam paper.

Then her supervisor, who had been monitoring her students, came up to her and knocked on her desk.

“Be careful.”

I guess her voice was pretty loud.

But she didn't say that she kicked her out.

Because if she kicks her out, she's the one who'll have to get kicked out with her right now for most of the people in her classroom.

Because she's not in the classroom right now.

"driving me crazy."

"Damn it,"

"Ah-oh."

“Hoeeng.”

Because it was already full with various moans.

Since the test started 10 minutes ago, there have been so many sounds that it's hard to tell whether this is a test site or a human body test site.

In general, the problems in the front of the language test paper were not as difficult as the ones in the back, so they sounded like they would appear at the end of the test at other times.

But this year's exam was different.

This year's SAT showed the level of difficulty from the questions on the first page of the test paper to the level of difficulty of the normal year, shaking the students' mentality from the start.

‘This year’s entrance exam was crazy.’

The students watching the SAT thought.

In fact, considering the difficulty of last year's and last year's SAT and this year's mock exams, anyone could easily predict that this year's SAT would be impossible.

It was a possible guess because there was not much difference in the difficulty of the mock exams between last year's SAT and this year's SAT, which was the most difficult.

However, anticipation and contrast were two separate issues.

It seems that most schools and hagwons predicted the difficulty of this year's CSAT and prepared their own preparations to train students, but no matter how you look at it, the limitations seemed clear.

As the saying goes, tomahawk missiles are flying and you can't live by wearing body armor.

Because of this, a large number of the students were wasting their time with their ankles caught from the start.

Only a small number of examinees were solving the problems on the next page beyond the magic of the first page, but their situation was not that good either.

Beyond the barbed wire, it's called a minefield.

After I managed to solve the problems in front of me, what I saw was a synthesis of more difficult problems than that.

But there is only one person in this classroom.

Mann Lee, who was shaking hands and feet and sweating coldly even at the beginning of the test, was different from them.

This was because, unlike other examinees who had trouble solving problems one by one, she was solving problems one by one every minute.

Of course, she didn't solve the problem easily in the first place. At first, she had a hard time solving one problem at a time, just like her other students.

However, as her excitement at the beginning of the exam subsided a bit, she found that the exam questions were strangely familiar.

If you look closely, most of the difficult problems that hold the ankles of her students were problems she had seen at least once before.

For example, these problems.

7. Which of the following sentences uses the correct vocabulary?

① Take a closer look at where I .

② I tried all the methods.

③ Because it's a watermelon, the is terribly low.

④ Spending money is always fun.

⑤ I feel sad without knowing .

I must have remembered that I had solved a problem similar to this one before.‘Sam. I really don't know this? Isn't that all right?'

The time before the entrance exam.

Joon-young was conducting a class for high school 3rd graders at the Hermit Crab Academy.

Lee A-rin, who was solving the problems that Jun-young gave for the entrance exam type, said to Jun-young.

Then Junyoung, who was answering her other students' questions, looked at her and asked.

‘How many problems?’

‘Problem number three.’

When she answered, her Jun-young came up to her.

Then she slowly identified the problem and opened her mouth.

‘Well, it’s a simple question, did you find the answer?’

When Jun-young asked, Ia-rin grabbed her head and grabbed her.

'I've been holding on to this problem for 10 minutes. No matter how much I look at this, there seems to be no answer... Am I right?'

Junyoung smiled and opened her mouth at her bold words.

‘Look.’

Joon-young pointed to the problem with her hand.

Lee A-rin's gaze followed Jun-young's hand.

20. Which of the following is not appropriate to use ?

① She is staying at her uncle's house.

② I feel sad without knowing .

③ He spends money .

④ Visits are prohibited during work.

⑤ The call came at a busy time.

‘Which of these is the most confusing?’

Junyoung said.

Then she said as Ia Lin tilted her head.

'Well, actually, I thought it was number three or number four. First of all, isn't it 'heungcheongmangcheong', not 'heungcheongmanjeon'? And the number 4 seems to be ‘all’ rather than ‘none’?’

At the same time, she looked into Jun-young's eyes, and it seemed that she wasn't sure about herself either.

Joon-young smiled and opened his mouth.

‘Does everything else seem right?’

‘Uh… well, everything else seems right? no?'

She said while Ia Rin averted Junyoung's eyes.

Joon-young borrowed her pen from her Irene and started explaining her problems to her.

'So that's why you're doing this. Now, look, the answer to this question is number 5. In this case, ‘in the middle’ should be entered instead of ‘for a long time’. 'For a while' means 'for a while.'

She nodded her head.

Joon-young continued her explanation.

‘And like you said, I use the word ‘heung-cheong-mang-cheong’ a lot in times like this. However, it is good to know that the word “heart is complete” is used with the same meaning.’

She remembered what had happened yesterday.

Then, she remembered what Joon-young had said clearly.

Thanks to this, she was able to easily find that the answer to question number 7 in the language area was 'before marriage in number 4'.

The other issues were pretty much the same.

If you think about the problems that you think are a bit difficult, they were problems that she and Junyoung had solved together once.

OK.

A faint smile began to appear on her lips as she solved the problem.

It was a beautiful smile that could not be thought of as a person who had been trembling under the pressure of the SAT until recently.

* * *

the day after the exam.

I was sitting in the office and reading articles on the Internet.

[Again, the “Fire SAT” test takers sweat]

[Failure to adjust difficulty every year, is it good as it is]

[Executive "impossible", evaluator "easy", what is the gap?]

Seeing that the keyword 'impossible' does not fall out of the top search terms on large search portals, the Internet seems to be noisy again this year due to the problem of adjusting the difficulty of the CSAT after last year.

I took a sneak peek into the 3 major entrance exam portals to see how the students felt.

OK.

[Everyone, that SAT failed ㅜㅜ I couldn't solve 5 questions because I didn't have enough time in the language area, and took 3 repairs... Foreign languages ​​were easy...

[Comment 1: Crazy haha. Isn't this enough to see Junna well?]

[Comment 2: Language 5 problem? joke? I took all 10 questions behind me!]

[Comment 3: I burst out laughing because foreign languages ​​were the easiest.]

[Comment 4: Assessor's gang sherry!]

[Comment 5: The water temperature in Mapo is hot today! Hangang Gazza!]

The students who took the test yesterday were clearly feeling the mental breakdown.

No matter how much other subjects other than English rank ranks based on relative evaluation, it is impossible to ignore the score that catches your eye.

It was rather strange that the students who received scores that were more than 10-20 points different than usual were not panicked.

If there were evaluators in front of the students, it would be a good question to ask.

‘Why the hell are you doing this to us!’

This problem was not limited to students only.

It's because, on the site where instructors get information, posts from instructors who were embarrassed by the difficulty of the CSAT were being posted.

[Ha, as soon as I went to work today, I was grabbed by the parents of the examining student ㅠㅠ If my child goes to college this time, they tell me to remember all the special lecture fees I've received... What do other people do when this happens?]

[Comment 1: Ehehe, we also have a similar atmosphere... we just open our mouths in moderation and pass it on...]

[Comment 2: In that case, just say "tummy" and avoid it for a few days. Then most of them fall by themselves]

[Comment 3: Anyway, evaluators! It's like this every year, how can I live because my heart is trembling...]

As it is a problem on which they have food, there were many articles that seriously criticized the current situation.

Because the position as a lecturer and trust with the students that I have built up over the years will be cracking.

However.

Our school was different.

“Sam! That's awesome!

When I woke up I just turned off the computer portal window.

said Ia Lin, who entered the classroom with her bright face.

"what?"

When I asked, Irene looked at me with her eyes gleaming with her joy.

“The result of the provisional score! It's really no joke this time!”

From the looks of it, it seemed that Lee Arin's provisional score was not bad.

"okay? How many points?”

When I asked, she smirked in anticipation, then unfolded her exam paper she was holding.

"Voila! 97 languages, 93 maths, 95 foreign languages, and satire!”

Then he looked at me and made a face saying, ‘Come on, compliment me.

I smiled and opened my mouth.“Aren’t you kidding me this time?”

Then, Erin's expression wrinkled.

"Oh really! I didn't do anything this time!"

She looked at me sullenly and ran around her.

He was a guy who usually had all the depression in the world on his face, so it was nice to see him like this.

I smiled softly and opened my mouth.

“It’s a joke, it’s a joke. yes you did a good job So, should I start preparing to fill out the application soon?”

Then Ia Lin smiled and nodded her head.

"Yes! That’s right!”

Then she started talking about how she was thinking about which school to go to.

It was fortunate.

The face that was dyed with anxiety, depression and self-doubt not long ago has now turned into a ‘flower’ face suitable for a 20-year-old.

But then.

"Hello···"

There was a person entering the classroom with an aura of darkness.

His name is right.

Park Il-Han.

He was a popular Internet novelist these days, and another person who took the SAT yesterday.

But no matter how you look at it, the guy's expression wasn't good.

Something unusual atmosphere.

It was a face that seemed to have suppressed emotions.

"what's the matter? Did you not do well on the exam yesterday?”

When I asked, he bowed his head with an even more gloomy face.

It seemed that he was right that he ruined the entrance exam yesterday.

When the atmosphere wasn't too bad, Irein, who had been smiling in front of me just before, gently wiped her smile and walked out of the classroom.

Then she went to the office and only the two of them were left.

I asked him again.

“Are your grades very bad?”

“·················ogue.”

But the guy had no katabuta words.

Apparently, my grades were worse than I expected.

I thought this might be the case.

As I didn't openly ask students to solve the SAT problems, there were cases where the grades did not come out depending on the memory or condition of the students.

“Don’t worry too much about not doing well on the exam. You said at the beginning of the year. After all, we're not going to go to college with SAT scores. Remember?”

When I said that, Il-Han Park nodded without a word.

However, the head of the guy who went down did not think that it would come up easily.

I looked down at the guy's head and continued his words slowly.

"So. We just need to hit the lowest score. After that, I just need to trust me and trust you? Understand?"

He even tapped him on the shoulder.

If I had said this, I thought he would understand and feel better.

However.

Park Il-han cackles with a dying voice.

“I don’t think I can even reach that lowest rating… I’m sorry.”

No, what are you talking about?
