It is structured like this.

Since 2018, our lab has been experimenting with a new approach called "Mock Exams Mixed with Previous Exam Questions."
In reality, many of the Korean history questions for national and local government positions are reused from previous exams.
We planned a mock exam that mixed past exam questions with the idea that past exam questions are the 'beginning and the end'.
I was worried that if I simply mixed up the existing questions without modifying them, would the test takers actually respond?
However, the response from the test takers was considerable, and some even praised it highly.
It has now become established as one of the representative contents of the Gosabu.

This is the ninth time that we have published a 26-year-old version of the original.
We created a total of 14 mock exams by mixing questions from past exams from the past 10 years.
Past questions from national, local, Seoul, and court positions account for 3/4 of the total, and other past questions have been minimized by topic.
The level of difficulty is similar to that of national and local government exams taken over the past three years.
Certain rounds are designed to be approximately 5 points more difficult than the 25-year national and local civil service exams.

All 14 exams are being conducted online as mock exams by Next Civil Servant.
Nearly a thousand test takers consistently participated each time.
The correct answer rate and score distribution are available for anyone to view on the Gosabu Cafe and Next Civil Servant.
Just by looking at these statistics, you can see at a glance where the average test taker is weak.
This can be said to be the greatest advantage of our mock exam.

Advice from the Examination Department

You need to understand the nature of objective tests.
It is very foolish to just stare blankly at your summary notes.
Even if you look at the summary notes dozens of times, most of the test takers are unable to apply them to the problem.
It is even more foolish to attend long lectures during exam season.
The problem must be solved.

The most basic of the problems are past exam questions.
Among the past exam questions, the ones from the last 3-4 years are the most important.
However, looking at the same workbook more than three times does not have a high learning effect.
Once you're sufficiently familiar with the previous exam questions, you can move on to modified versions of the previous exam questions or full-range mock exams.
Among these, the one that has the greatest effect right before the exam is the mock exam.
The importance of mock exams cannot be overemphasized a hundred or a thousand times.

We are proud to say that our lab is the industry leader in both quantity and quality of our workbooks, and public opinion confirms this.
We hope that test takers will trust our workbook and use it as an opportunity to identify their weaknesses, rather than relying on problems cobbled together from their own textbooks by instructors or academies.

We expect students to give rigorous evaluations of the workbooks and mock exams published by our lab.
