On the 14th, the 2025 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) began simultaneously in Chungnam as well.

In Chungnam, 17,697 test-takers are taking the exam at 52 test sites.

At Test Site No. 3 in Cheonan District 60, students entered the school building while receiving encouragement from teachers and parents, enjoying mild weather without the usual CSAT cold snap.

Fortunately, no students were unable to enter the test sites, but some arrived in a hurry just before the entrance deadline, making the cheering squads anxious. One parent tightly held their child's hand as they rushed in, offering warmth and reassurance.

Teachers from Ssangyong High School and Cheongsu High School also warmly encouraged their students taking the CSAT at Oseong High School by handing out snacks.

One teacher said, "I hope the students do their best as much as they have prepared."

The Cheonan Parents' Education Support Group also cheered on the test-takers at various locations around the test sites, holding placards with messages of encouragement such as "You'll do well in the future, too" and "We support your future, which will shine brighter than anyone else's."

A parent of a second-year high school student, with one year left until the CSAT, said, "Thinking that this will be us in a year already makes me nervous," and added, "I hope my child, who has worked so hard, will see good results."

Lee Byungdo, Cheonan Superintendent of Education, visited Oseong High School to encourage the test-takers and gave his full support to each and every student until the very end.

Lee Byungdo said, "I hope the students can fully demonstrate the skills they have honed so far in this warm weather," and added, "I wish happiness for all the students."
