FAQ

Where does the timetable come from?

The 2027 CSAT detailed plan and administration guide published by KICE on 1 July 2026, for regular candidates. The exam is on Thursday 19 November 2026.

What's the difference between Real clock and Start from now?

Real clock maps the current time in Korea onto the timetable. Start from now begins the chosen period right away and runs for its real length, handy when you practise at a different time of day.

What are the preliminary, ready, start and end bells?

Per the guide: at the preliminary bell you get the answer sheet and fill in your details, at the ready bell you check the question booklet, the start bell begins the exam and the end bell finishes it. Period 3 English starts with the listening announcement instead of a bell.

Do the bells sound like the real ones?

No. Short beeps play only for the preliminary and end bells. If the tab is hidden for a long time or the device sleeps, a beep can be late or missed, so keep the screen on.

Does it cover extended-time candidates?

No, only the regular timetable. Extended-time candidates sit each period for 1.5× or 1.7× the regular time, so check your own admission ticket and notices.

What if I take one inquiry subject or skip period 5?

Choose 1 subject or None and untick period 5; the timeline follows. One-subject candidates wait from 15:35 to 16:05 and start at 16:07.
