However, career-focused elective courses may differ between schools. Each course is taken per semester, with 1 credit equaling 16 sessions of 50-minute classes. Over the three years of high school, students are required to complete a total...

AI tutors: How do they score on the 2024 Korean SAT math exam? Part 1 of 3 sections

Using GPT-4o, I tackled the math section from last year’s Korean SAT. The math section is made up of 22 questions (76 points) from common subjects and 8 questions (24 points) from electives. The electives include three options: Probability and Statistics, Calculus, and Geometry. In this case, I opted for Probability and Statistics. In summary, GPT got 20 out of 30 questions correct and scored 60 points out of 100.  The prompt requires solving problems manually, based on high school-level knowledge up to the 12th grade . GPT sometimes misinterpreted the problem images, but I corrected those errors. If the solution was wrong, I modified the prompt to lead the process toward the correct answer. For instance, in a logarithmic problem, I would ask it to use the logarithmic transformation formula. Out of the 30 questions, the results for questions 1 to 10 are as follows. GPT answered all the first 10 questions correctly. However, students are expected to solve these problems ...

수학 계통도(중1~고3), 2028년 개정 반영

  한국의 수능 수학은 2028년부터 아래 구성으로 변경된다.  공통과목과 일반 선택 과목은 필수이고, 나머지 과목은 선택이다. 학생들은 대학마다 우선시 하는 선택과목을 전략적으로 수강해야 한다. 다만 고등학교의 강의 여건과 학생들의 선호도를 감안하면, 많은 학생들이 기존 수능의 선택 과목이였던 미적분 Ⅱ와 기하를 수강할 것으로 예상된다. 공통 과목 선택 과목 일반 선택 과목 진로 선택 과목 융합 선택 과목 공통수학 1 공통수학 2 대수 미적분Ⅰ 확률과 통계 미적분Ⅱ 기하 경제 수학 인공지능 수학 직무 수학 수학과 문화 실용 통계 수학과제 탐구   아래는 중학교 1학년부터 고등학교 3학년까지 6년 동안 수강하는 수학의 세부 계통도를 나타낸다.
