Do you know about the CSAT that Korean high school students take before entering college? I think there is a test for university entrance in your country, but I think it may be different in each country. However, the Korean CSAT is well-known for its high competition and extremely difficult image.
In particular, every winter, the CSAT is emerging as a social issue and seems to be receiving a lot of attention from many people. However, as a foreigner, I think you may not be familiar with Korea's CSAT. How can I convey the feeling of the CSAT to you?
So, this time, I would like to introduce you to 'God of Study', a Korean drama where you can experience the Korean CSAT. Through this drama, I think you will be able to understand not only Korea's college entrance exams but also the lives of Korean high school students.
