Published in 2021, the Yeodana Compressed Pre-Course Study Guide, which received explosive responses and praise from test takers for its excellent readability and rich content, is now in its fourth edition, the 2026 edition.
The love students have for Yeoda Na's compressed pre-test is so numerous that it is impossible to list them all.
"The book recommended by successful applicants as the top priority"
"The most readable book of all civil service exam preparation materials."
“A book that makes you want to study”
“A book that you can understand and memorize just by opening it.”
The test takers’ reviews were explosive, with comments like “This book is a work of art in terms of readability.”

To respond to and reward the positive feedback and evaluations from test takers, the 2026 Yeodana Pre-School Examination has been further enhanced as follows.

· We have fully analyzed and reflected the new trends in exam questions for the second half of 2024 and the first half of 2025.
· We have improved readability and detail by reflecting the valuable opinions of test takers.
· It reflects the recently revised laws and includes the direction of revision of the Government Organization Act, which is scheduled to be revised in the second half of the year.
· In addition, new trends that have recently become issues in academia and within the government
I included a lot of them.
· The main contents of the local personnel system and local budget system, which occasionally present difficult questions, are also clearly organized.
· For efficient final study, the importance of each detailed topic and part is marked with an asterisk.
· Finally, as the Yeodana Compression has recently been widely used as a final study material to the point of replacing the basic textbook, there were many opinions that it would be good to have an index (index), so in this 2026 edition, an index (index) has been added at the end.

If the previously published 2026 Gipilgo Preliminary Examination Summary is an introductory summary, the 2026 Yeodana Compression is a final summary needed after the mid-semester exam period.
I believe that studying past exam questions in the second half of the exam will be of great help in quickly completing and organizing the vast amount of public administration.

I wish you all success.

thank you
