Case Index _553

6th edition

After the Constitutional Court subject was introduced to the police examination, a total of seven examinations were administered: the 1st and 2nd examinations in 1922, the 1st and 2nd examinations in 1923, the 1st and 2nd examinations in 1924, and the 1st examination in 1925.


We will continue to think, work hard, and prepare for the future police exam to help you pass.

The Constitution is also a subject that can be endlessly expanded upon.
However, the reason I am trying to minimize the amount of material as much as possible despite the criticism is because I believe that in order to pass the police exam, which is administered twice a year, in the shortest possible time, it is important to study and digest the amount of material required to pass.

Criminal law is a combination of criminal law and criminal procedure law, so there is already a considerable amount of material to study. Police science is a subject that most test takers find difficult, so you should study it more frequently and invest a lot of time in it.
My role is to help you adjust the amount of constitutional study you need to do and select the content you need to pass the exam.
Because studying for a long time should not be our goal, but rather we should study to quickly graduate from the dark tunnel of exam preparation.

Just as your goal is to pass the exam, my goal is also for you to pass the exam.

My goal is the same as that of all of you test takers.

To repay the support we have received from all of you, we will continue to do our best to help you pass the exam.

If you move forward calmly without collapsing, spring will surely come.

The day will surely come when each of you will bloom.
I hope I will remain as a good memory in your exam preparation life.
I hope to see you again in a better place, and to remember this moment with a smile.
