Sample Korean CSAT Science Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your Korean CSAT Science exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1A metal cube has a mass of 54 g and a volume of 6 cm^3. What is its density?
A.9 g/cm^3
B.48 g/cm^3
C.60 g/cm^3
D.324 g/cm^3
Explanation: Density equals mass divided by volume. The cube's density is 54 g / 6 cm^3 = 9 g/cm^3, so the unit volume contains 9 grams of metal.
2A resistor has a resistance of 4 ohms and is connected to a 12 V battery. What current flows through the resistor?
A.0.33 A
B.3 A
C.8 A
D.48 A
Explanation: Ohm's law gives I = V/R. With V = 12 V and R = 4 ohms, the current is 12/4 = 3 A.
3A cart starts from rest and reaches 10 m/s after 5 s with constant acceleration. What is the acceleration?
A.0.5 m/s^2
B.2 m/s^2
C.5 m/s^2
D.50 m/s^2
Explanation: Acceleration is change in velocity divided by time. The change is 10 m/s - 0 m/s = 10 m/s, and 10/5 = 2 m/s^2.
4A 3 kg object accelerates at 4 m/s^2. What net force acts on it?
A.0.75 N
B.7 N
C.12 N
D.24 N
Explanation: Newton's second law is F = ma. Multiplying 3 kg by 4 m/s^2 gives a net force of 12 N.
5A wave has frequency 5 Hz and wavelength 2 m. What is the wave speed?
A.2.5 m/s
B.7 m/s
C.10 m/s
D.25 m/s
Explanation: Wave speed equals frequency times wavelength. Therefore v = 5 Hz x 2 m = 10 m/s.
6A 2 kg object moves at 3 m/s. What is its kinetic energy?
A.3 J
B.6 J
C.9 J
D.18 J
Explanation: Kinetic energy is (1/2)mv^2. Substituting m = 2 kg and v = 3 m/s gives (1/2)(2)(9) = 9 J.
7The atomic number of carbon is 6. What does this number represent for a neutral carbon atom?
A.The number of protons
B.The number of neutrons
C.The mass number
D.The number of electron shells
Explanation: Atomic number is defined by the number of protons in the nucleus. A neutral carbon atom also has 6 electrons, but the atomic number itself is set by protons.
8A solution has pH 3. Which description is most accurate?
A.Strongly acidic
B.Neutral
C.Weakly basic
D.Strongly basic
Explanation: A pH below 7 is acidic, and pH 3 is far below neutral. The lower the pH, the higher the hydrogen ion concentration.
9Which balanced equation represents the formation of water from hydrogen and oxygen gases?
A.H2 + O2 -> H2O
B.2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O
C.H2 + 2O2 -> H2O
D.2H2 + 2O2 -> H2O
Explanation: The balanced equation must have the same number of each atom on both sides. 2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O has 4 hydrogen atoms and 2 oxygen atoms on each side.
10A student dissolves 0.50 mol of NaCl in enough water to make 1.0 L of solution. What is the molarity?
A.0.25 M
B.0.50 M
C.1.0 M
D.2.0 M
Explanation: Molarity is moles of solute divided by liters of solution. The solution contains 0.50 mol in 1.0 L, so its concentration is 0.50 M.

About the Korean CSAT Science Exam

Korean CSAT Science Inquiry is the science branch of the CSAT Inquiry area. KICE lists eight science elective subjects: Physics I, Chemistry I, Life Science I, Earth Science I, Physics II, Chemistry II, Life Science II, and Earth Science II. Candidates taking Social/Science Inquiry may select up to two subjects from the combined 17-subject list. On the real exam, each selected Inquiry subject has 20 five-choice questions in 30 minutes and is reported through standard score, percentile, and grade. This page provides 100 original four-option practice questions across physics, chemistry, life science, earth science, experiment design, graph interpretation, and scientific reasoning.

Assessment

Korean CSAT Science Study Tips from Top Performers

1Pick the exact science subject pair required by your target universities, then spend most timed practice on those two subjects.
2For graph and table questions, write the trend, slope, or comparison before checking options; many distractors use the right variable with the wrong direction.
3In experiment questions, identify the independent variable, dependent variable, control group, and constants before interpreting the result.
4For quantitative physics and chemistry, estimate the order of magnitude first so arithmetic errors are easier to catch.
5For life and earth science, connect facts to mechanisms: a correct answer usually explains why the observation follows from the process.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many questions are on a real CSAT Science Inquiry subject?
