A word of advice
Epilogue 477

“The Korean language is a field of talent.”

It was a word I really liked when I was in the third year of high school.
Because I was able to rationalize my failures.
When I was in my third year of high school, I devoted 4 hours every day to studying Korean.
And on the day of the CSAT, I got a grade 3.
I was lucky enough to get 3 questions right, so I got a 3rd grade.
From my second year of high school to my third year of high school, I listened to all the lectures given by instructors from levels 1 to 4 on many online tutoring sites, but my grades didn't improve.

After the CSAT, I looked at the success stories posted on the course reviews and thought, 'There are so many successful people, so maybe I'm just stupid.'
But I felt it was too unfair to finish studying like that.
So I took a year off, and while I was taking the year off, I changed the way I studied Korean.
I ignored everything the lecturers said, like, "You need to understand the structure," "You need to organize the types," and "You need to highlight these parts," and just read it as if I were reading a book.

But when I started reading like that, things started to change little by little.
After starting my year-long study abroad, I was always ranked 4th until March, but in just two months, I was able to rise to a fixed 1st grade in Korean.
It was really exactly two months.
Since then, I have received a grade 1 in every test, including June, September, and the CSAT.
Since then, I have gotten a grade 1 on every private mock exam I have taken.
After the CSAT, I became convinced that this method was right, and while tutoring over 20 students, I wrote a book called "National Intelligence Service" that contained the insights I gained during my time preparing for the CSAT.

There was no response at first.
But after three months, six months, word of mouth started to spread.
Just like me, there were students who reported that they had improved their grades in just two months after taking the National Intelligence Service.
In this way, the National Intelligence Service sold like hotcakes, and became the best-selling Korean language study method book for the CSAT in the past two years.
About 200,000 copies were sold in just two years and six months.
Although this number may not seem like much, there has never been a case in the past decade where so many copies were sold in such a short period of time in the Korean language section of the College Scholastic Ability Test.
And this figure of 200,000 copies is impossible to achieve with advertising alone.
Because of the nature of the Korean language study method book for the College Scholastic Ability Test, the results of students who read the book are released every year, and this leads to word of mouth.
If the content wasn't that great, it would have been buried long ago.

The National Intelligence Service Reading Guide is a book written to help students who have been stuck in the 3rd or 4th grade level rise to the 1st grade.
And I poured all my know-how into this book with the intention of sending it to the top grade.
In the first part of the book, I explain the '14 habits' that I realized when I became a fixed level 1.
And in the latter part, we will apply these '14 habits' to the most difficult past exam questions.
In the most difficult past exam questions, I wrote down 'what you should think about while reading' for each sentence.
I have written explanations for a total of 18 fingerprints for each sanction.
As you follow the book, it is designed so that you will naturally embody it.

One thing I can promise you is that your wanderings will end with this book.
I was a student like you just a few years ago, and I thought I was going crazy because of the Korean language.
This book was created by pouring everything into it, in order to save students who are in the same situation as I was in the past.
Since this is a book that has already been verified by many people, if you are having trouble with the Korean language right now, please definitely read it.
You really won't regret it.
