Appendix _ High School Admission Guide

6th grade elementary school,
This is your last chance to develop study and lifestyle habits that will last you until your third year of high school!

Middle school is different from elementary school in many ways.
The number of subjects to study increases and class hours increase.
Even the teachers' atmosphere is different.
Of course, just because it's middle school doesn't mean the content you learned in elementary school suddenly changes.
What changes is the direction of learning.
While elementary school education focuses on establishing basic order and lifestyle habits, middle school focuses on establishing study habits because children's physical and intellectual abilities have improved compared to elementary school.
You need to develop diligent study habits in middle school to be able to study well in high school.
So, you must thoroughly prepare for entering middle school.


In that sense, the most important thing in preparing for middle school entrance is study habits.
Until elementary school, the achievement level for each subject's required abilities is indicated on the end-of-semester report card, but from middle school onwards, all items are scored and calculated as grades.
Of course, since the current first year of middle school is a liberal arts-based system, most of them do not have separate written tests, but rather conduct performance evaluations.
However, most performance assessments require more depth than those in elementary school, so to prepare for these assessments, you need to develop study habits starting in 6th grade.
If you don't manage your time in advance, develop the habit of studying on your own, and build a solid foundation in Korean, English, and math, you'll be at a loss in middle school classes.


This book contains everything you need to know to succeed in middle school, including how to prepare for Korean, English, and math before entering middle school, how to study by subject and grade to plan an entrance exam roadmap after entering middle school, and how to manage your time and physical strength to continue your middle school life wisely.


When children reach the sixth grade of elementary school, both children and parents begin to feel curious and anxious about middle school.
At first, you have to prepare vaguely, but as you just think about it, you start to get anxious around the time summer vacation starts.
By the time they reach 6th grade or 7th grade, they may seem like they've all grown up, but their bodies are bigger and they only have the awareness that they've become teenagers, and they're not capable of doing everything on their own.
Since this is the children's first time in middle school, they don't know much about middle school life or what middle school students should do.
At this time, the guides who will help you prepare are your parents.
Of course, adolescent children do not follow their parents' wishes.
However, there is a difference between knowing what will happen in the future and giving direction to school life and being completely unaware and just going around and around.
Let's prepare little by little by reading books so that our children can continue their middle school life happily, healthily, and wisely.
