Smart glasses and mobile phones are prohibited from being brought into the college entrance exam hall... If caught, the test is invalid.

For the 2027 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT), which will be held on the 19th, all electronic devices, including mobile phones, smart glasses, and smart watches, are prohibited from being brought into the test site.

In particular, simply wearing smart glasses equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) functions during the test is considered cheating, so this year's test will be invalidated and the person will be disqualified from taking the CSAT next year.

On the 9th, the Ministry of Education issued a 'Guidance Material on Precautions for Test Takers' and announced that all electronic devices, including tablet PCs (PCs), earphones with communication (Bluetooth) function, and electronic cigarettes, cannot be brought into the CSAT test center.

If you bring an electronic device to the test site, you must submit it according to the supervisor's instructions before the start of the first period, and it can be returned after the test is over.

If you are caught failing to submit it, it will be treated as cheating and the exam will be invalid.

In the case of watches, only analog watches without payment/communication functions or electronic screen indicators (LCD, LED, etc.) can be carried.

Items that need to be carried for personal reasons or medical reasons, such as hearing aids, magnifying glasses, and continuous blood glucose monitors, must be inspected in advance by the supervisor during each period.

Smart devices, including smart glasses equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) functions, are considered used just by wearing them during the test, and the test for that year will be invalidated and the test qualification for the next year will be disqualified.

The Ministry of Education explained that it plans to actively pursue legal action, such as filing complaints and requesting investigations, so that criminal punishment can be carried out for misconduct using smart glasses.

Test takers must cooperate with the test proctor in checking smart devices such as smart glasses.

Minister of Education Choi Kyo-jin said, "To prevent the efforts made so far from being wasted due to an unpleasant incident, we urge test-takers to be sure to read the precautions before the exam and not to bring in any electronic devices."

On the day of the test, test takers must bring their admission ticket and photo ID and enter the test room by 8:10 a.m.

ID cards include resident registration cards, driver's licenses, passports, and youth ID cards within the validity period. Mobile ID cards are not accepted.

If you lose your admission ticket, bring your photo and ID and go to the test management center at the test site by 8 a.m. on the day of the test.

A preliminary call will be held the day before the exam (November 18).

You also need to be careful about what you write on the answer sheet.

In principle, only a black computer marker pen should be used on the answer sheet, and handwriting verification phrases must be written with a black computer marker pen.

You may be penalized if you write your answers with a sharpie or pencil or double-mark them.

Starting this year, the tentative score sheet provided after the test result must be completed before the end of each period.

If you fill out the provisional score sheet after the end command is issued but before the question and answer sheets are collected, it will be treated as cheating, so you need to be careful.

If an unexpected situation such as an earthquake occurs during the test, each test site plans to take prompt action with the safety of test takers as the top priority according to prepared response measures.

In addition, all test takers must take the Korean history section in the 4th period, and the social studies and science studies sections must be taken in the order of subjects they have chosen.

The elective subjects and order of the 4th period of your choice can be confirmed through the admission ticket and the sticker attached to the top of the examinee's desk.
