About the CSAT Second Language/Hanja Exam
The Korean College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT, Suneung) Second Foreign Language/Chinese Characters and Classics area is an optional Period 5 area administered by KICE. Candidates choose one subject from German I, French I, Spanish I, Chinese I, Japanese I, Russian I, Arabic I, Vietnamese I, or Chinese Characters and Classics I. The official area uses 30 five-option selected-response questions over 40 minutes, with 1- and 2-point questions totaling 50 raw points.
