서울대 의대생은 고등학교 가기 전 이렇게 준비 했습니다 (예비 고1, 국영수 공부법, 겨울방학) | 스튜디오S

Summary

Two student presenters offer advice for students transitioning from middle school to high school. They recommend using the final winter break before high school to build lasting study habits and strengthen academic foundations, while recognizing that each student’s circumstances and approach may differ.

Presenter 1’s five recommendations

1. Make sustained concentration a habit.

   • Don’t rely only on tracking study hours: how much you learn can vary depending on your focus, effort, and surroundings.
   • Practice studying in conditions similar to an exam, including organizing your study space beforehand.
   • Gradually work up to concentrating for about 80 minutes, the length of many mock-exam sections.

2. Prioritize Math I and II before high school.

   • Math takes time to improve, so become familiar with the material and solve plenty of problems.
   • The presenter recalls focusing on these courses closer to school exams, even after exploring more advanced topics earlier.

3. Choose science inquiry subjects in advance.

   • High-school science is substantially deeper and more demanding than middle-school science, especially beyond first-year integrated science.
   • Consider preparing in advance for one or more likely subjects. Once you choose, avoid repeatedly changing direction; the presenter continued to focus on biology.

4. Learn about your high school.

   • Find out how its internal exams are structured, what the student atmosphere is like, and how teachers approach their subjects.
   • This can help you prepare for the school’s question styles and make more informed choices about schoolwork and your student record.
   • If possible, ask a current or former student for firsthand information.

5. Plan your student record intentionally.

   • Think ahead about the direction of your school activities and student record rather than leaving it entirely to chance.
   • Your plan may change, but making a conscious effort can lead to a stronger result over time.

Presenter 2’s five recommendations

1. Study math in depth, not just through advanced coursework.

   • Build a sound foundation and practice challenging problems, including those that are difficult but still manageable.
   • Aim to handle school exams consistently and develop skills that are useful beyond those exams.
   • Reinforce concepts with practice exercises rather than stopping after reading explanations.

2. Practice math exams under timed conditions.

   • School tests can create time pressure, and anxiety can affect performance.
   • Try timed sessions of about 50–60 minutes and practice deciding which questions to tackle first.
   • Use past papers from your own or other schools, and rehearse how you will move between multiple-choice and written-response questions.

3. Study additional math topics early if you have the time and capacity.

   • You might preview Math I and II, calculus, geometry, or probability and statistics.
   • This is optional, not a requirement. Learning some concepts or solving a few problems can make later exam preparation easier.

4. Read during the winter break.

   • The break before high school may offer more free time than later years.
   • Reading helps develop the comprehension skills needed for later exam passages. If you can’t make time for books, work through reading-comprehension passages gradually.

5. Study literary works covered in school exams carefully.

   • Familiarity with works studied in school can help when similar material appears in later Korean literature exams.
   • This is especially useful for classical poetry and prose, whose vocabulary and grammar may initially feel unfamiliar.

The presenters encourage students to apply the suggestions flexibly, stay positive about the transition to high school, and remember that their three years there are only the beginning.
