365 Must-Read Books for Prestigious Universities
365 Must-Read Books for Prestigious Universities
Description
Book Introduction
“The secret to getting into a prestigious university is in your academic record!”
There is not enough time to just study,
A surefire college entrance exam strategy using "tax incentives" and "non-academic subjects."
365 excellent college entrance exam tips, carefully selected and read by five veteran, current teachers!


Fierce competition for college entrance.
In 2024, five current teachers put their heads together to create their own 'luxury life insurance policy.'
Let's write the final scenario for a "top-tier student life" with 365 must-read books recommended by veteran teachers with 12 to 20 years of experience who have guided students to successful entrance exams in Korean, science, math, history, and art.
From recommended reading, overviews, in-depth and exploratory activities, and even examples of tax specials related to the subject, this book presents students with the "most perfect tax specials" that a single book can create.

349,124 people.
This number is none other than the number of students selected for university in 2023.
For this large student population, which is comparable to the population of a small city, recommending 50 or 100 books is simply not enough.
Five teachers, who say that students' dreams and goals are their own, have compiled a massive 365-volume 'main book' and 'workbook' for the first time in Korea for students with diverse specialties pursuing their own career paths.
『365 Must-Read Books for Prestigious Universities』 and 『365 Must-Read Books for Prestigious Universities Workbook』 will be invaluable 'resources' and 'records' for many students who are developing their entrance exam strategies through 'Saenggibu'.

Into the book
The essence of the college entrance exam has not been shaken just because the entrance exam process has changed.
Universities want students who are committed to their school life.
While academic attitude, character, intellectual curiosity, and career exploration processes are not revealed on the CSAT score report, these qualities and abilities are naturally reflected in the student record, which describes meaningful activities at school.
In college, students can gauge whether they are independent and proactive in their studies and whether they practice responsibility and consideration within the community by looking at their academic records.
And this is precisely the 'reason' why universities evaluate student records.
--- p.4

This book serves as a warning to those of us who live with the common belief that "human nature is evil" to break free from this misunderstanding.
The author says that humans are inherently good, and that all tragedies begin with a pessimistic perception of the good human heart.
And it vividly demonstrates the goodness of human nature by citing examples of altruistic acts in extreme situations such as World War I and II, the sinking of the Titanic, the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and Hurricane Katrina.
It also fiercely criticizes the errors in the Stanford Prison Experiment and the Stanley Milgram Experiment, which attempted to prove human violence, and explains the nature of 'kind humans' based on research in biology, evolution, anthropology, and philosophy, along with various examples.
--- p.48

Every passage in the book contains the psychological pressures, anxieties, worries, and wanderings of youth in a world full of hypocrisy.
The subject matter and dialogue full of vulgar language, which the older generation might find risqué, resonated with many young people and resonated with them.
This is because I empathized with Holden, who was somewhere between a child who wanted to preserve his innocence and an adult who had to adapt to society.
Just as everyone sheds their childlike innocence and becomes an adult, Holden's wanderings are your story too.
--- p.190

The most important point explained in this book is the ‘theory of surplus value.’
In a capitalist society, the capitalist's profits are explained as coming from the 'stolen, exploited labor (surplus value)' of the workers.
Capitalists compete with other companies, develop technology, and implement performance-based pay systems to generate more profits and increase surplus value.
It deals with the problems and phenomena that a capitalist society cannot avoid, humanity reflected in capitalism, the value and role of workers, and Marx's alternative to capitalism, but it ultimately contains only a portion of Capital, so students who are interested are advised to obtain and read Capital themselves.
I hope that through this book, you will gain a deeper understanding of the problems facing society, ponder the nature of capitalism, and gain a broader perspective.
--- p.209

The appearance of humanity around 1000 AD, as described by the author, is not much different from that of modern times.
Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism, which have emerged as global religions today, were established at this time, and even the fact that riots against globalization and attacks on foreigners occurred in the Middle East bears resemblance to today.
Furthermore, through various examples, we can see that, just as in modern times, events that occurred in one region had a significant impact on distant regions.
Even around 1000 AD, merchants and pilgrims crossed the Indian Ocean to East Africa, Arabia, India, and China along routes pioneered by the Vikings, and the slave trade from Central Asia, Eastern Europe, and Africa to Baghdad, Constantinople, and Cairo was a major economic axis of the time.
--- p.246

If you were asked to choose the most famous problem in the history of mathematics, many people would think of 'Fermat's Last Theorem'.
The Pythagorean theorem, which was the starting point of this problem, the relationship between Pythagoras and Fermat's Last Theorem, mathematical concepts, and the flow of the history of mathematics from ancient Greece to 17th century France where Fermat's Last Theorem appeared are all introduced in one book.
In particular, Fermat's eccentric tendencies and the achievements he left behind will be the main points of interest in this book.
--- p.326

The 14 physical education teachers who wrote this book honestly share their experiences, from what led them to want to become physical education teachers to their physical education classes with students and other diverse tasks.
As a person who loves sports and as a teacher who practices education, I demonstrate the meaning and value of competition and self-development that I personally learned through sports.
It conveys a message to readers and students to pioneer their own lives and move forward with perseverance by capturing the challenges and failures of teachers within the common denominator of 'physical education'.
--- p.374

It is said that the results of life and work are the product of 'mindset', 'passion', and 'effort'.
The important thing here is that it is not 'addition' but 'multiplication'.
In other words, even if you have outstanding abilities, if you lack passion, you will not get good results. Even if you lack abilities, if you realize this and work harder than others, you can get good results.
And an even more important factor is 'mindset'. Depending on what kind of mindset you have, your life can change 180 degrees.
Of course, this way of thinking also has a 'minus point'; even if you have the ability and passion, if you go in the wrong direction, it can lead to negative results.
--- p.404

Publisher's Review
“500 characters, 3 years of tax exemption, and your target university will change!”

The College Entrance Exam System Has Changed, But Its Unwavering Essence
Creating a "luxury life insurance" that fully utilizes tax incentives and extracurricular activities.


The 'quality' of the student record is as important as the school grades, and in addition to the academic grades, it also describes the specific abilities and special skills of the subject, behavioral characteristics and overall opinions, and extracurricular activities in creative experiential activities.
Even if they take the same class, students who have an active attitude and engage in voluntary research activities are bound to do well in the content.
Students who have intellectual curiosity and engage in in-depth activities about what they learn in class will shine among the ordinary students.
This book suggests 'reading' as the optimal way to create your own 'luxury student record'.
Although reading activity status is not directly used for college admissions, reading history can be recorded throughout the student's academic record.
The entire process of exploring knowledge and thinking related to career paths or classes through reading is described in the student record.
This means that you can demonstrate your abilities in depth and richness in all evaluation areas of the comprehensive student selection process, including taxation special, individual taxation special, and creative experiential activities.

Strictly selected, subject-specific recommended books centered around high school curriculum!

Five teachers working in middle and high schools recommend books focusing on high school subjects.
Knowing better than anyone how busy high school students are, we carefully examine the "Seoul National University Admissions Student's Library," "Recommended Books for Each University," "Books Recommended by Librarians Nationwide," and "Bestsellers and Steady Sellers" to introduce 365 books to help ease their burden of choosing books.
In addition, based on the expertise of each subject and over a decade of entrance exam experience, we have meticulously selected 'custom' books that fit various career paths and major choices.
In-depth activities that encourage integrated thinking across multiple fields and disciplines will make your admissions strategy more meaningful.
Let's make the most of our strengths and capabilities through reading.
