Why CSAT Korean passages are absolute garbage and subject to a lawsuit under the Anti-Discrimination Against Persons with Disabilities Act.
First of all, due to a congenital inner ear malformation, I have had profound hearing loss since childhood (95dB in the right ear / 100dB in the left ear). Despite the resulting articulation or speech processing disorders, my language development was not delayed. In fact, even before receiving a cochlear implant, I won Grand Prizes and Excellence Awards in reading competitions from 2nd grade, followed by Grand Prizes and Excellence Awards in 3rd grade, and Excellence Awards in 4th grade—winning awards for three consecutive years—so there was no evidence of language development delay relative to my age. After the surgery, I received Excellence Awards in all subjects through 5th and 6th grade. Starting from the kindergarten department of a school for the deaf in February 1994, I entered Jecheol Kindergarten, a general kindergarten, in February 1996 at the same time as students from my neighborhood, and we attended elementary and middle school together. It is said that it is common to start school one or two years later.

However, reading the CSAT Korean passages is incredibly frustrating. Looking at last year's CSAT past questions, it is clear that the KICE (Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation) has blatantly included passages that make it impossible to read normally under the guise of testing reading comprehension. It is extremely annoying because they simplify the mere perspectives presented in the passages into "decoding" and "linguistic understanding." Nothing stays in my memory at all.
In contrast, even though American high school math textbooks are written in English, they are very easy to read. This is a point that demonstrates just how much of a piece of garbage the CSAT Korean passages are. The fact that concepts enter my head clearly and I remember who said what and how it is structured far better than those garbage Korean passages—even though it is written in English—is strong evidence that the CSAT Korean passages are fundamentally constructed in a hostile and garbage-like manner.


In the 2009 CSAT, I received Grade 5 in Language, Grade 7 in Mathematics (Type Ga), Grade 4 in English, Grade 3 in Physics I, Grade 2 in Chemistry I, Grade 4 in Physics II, and Grade 3 in Chemistry II. Back then, I would have been sitting there writing posts on Daum Agora until the day before the CSAT, and I probably had many complaints about society, but anyway, I entered Pusan National University's Physics Department through the special admission process for persons with disabilities by meeting two Grade 4 requirements and passing an oral interview involving solving physics problems. Of course, due to my lack of math skills, my accumulated internal rage, fights on the free bulletin board, and having no one to communicate with, I simply remained isolated and eventually dropped out in 2016. This was also because I developed an aspiration to enter Seoul National University.
Finally, around 2021, my grades were something like Language Grade 5, Math (Type Ga) Grade 8, English Grade 2, Physics II Grade 5, Chemistry II Grade 5, Korean History Grade 1, and Classical Chinese I Grade 5; that was also after roughly taking a few past exams a few days before the CSAT.
This year's CSAT subjects are Korean (Speech & Writing), Math (Geometry), English, Physics II, Chemistry II, Korean History, and Classical Chinese I. As for Classical Chinese, it is possible to pursue it if I restore the Level 3 knowledge I learned in 6th grade that is almost forgotten, but that is just symbolic content. My top priority this year will be reading 6,000 pages of American high school math textbooks to achieve a perfect score in CSAT Math Geometry within two months.
I feel like I should have taken "Language and Media" if I was just going to guess anyway, but regardless, going all-in on math for this year's CSAT is enough. Furthermore, I will file a lawsuit against KICE under the Anti-Discrimination Against Persons with Disabilities Act regarding the 2028 academic year CSAT and neutralize Korean, English, and Inquiry subjects.
