Publisher's Review
Why is 『Bad Korean Reading Skills』 good?
· The basics of reading comprehension that apply not only to the Korean language section of the CSAT but to all Korean language tests!
· A long, difficult passage with a lot of information and unfamiliar material! And even a difficult question!
· Let's improve your reading comprehension with the reading comprehension enhancement program, "Bad Korean Reading Skills"!
It was reported that the number of difficult questions in the 2025 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) Korean language section was reduced by nearly half compared to the previous year's exam.
In such cases, it is usually evaluated as having no discriminatory power, but after reviewing the test, I concluded that it is difficult to say that it has become significantly easier from the test taker's perspective.
The question format is not complicated, but when choosing an answer, you have to pay close attention to the details of each choice, so there were many problems where the answer was not easily visible if taken lightly.
In other words, it was a test that required a detailed examination of the fingerprints and questions, and I think the results could vary greatly depending on each person's reading ability.
Although reading comprehension is increasingly emphasized in the Korean language field, developing reading comprehension is actually the first step to all study.
Since you need to read accurately to properly study other subjects, it is not wrong to say that this textbook is the starting point for all subjects.
In other words, this book can be said to be a basic textbook not only for the Korean language but also for all subjects.
· The reading comprehension skills required for the exam will never improve simply by watching past exam questions or Korean language lectures repeatedly!
In the Korean language section, many students claim that "the answer is in the passage," but from the beginning, they just blindly solve past exam questions or EBS textbooks.
Also, when a famous lecturer in an online lecture reads a passage and teaches background knowledge, people just nod and feel proud.
But can this method truly develop the reading comprehension skills you desire before taking the test? For the test, you need a reading comprehension enhancement program specifically designed for the exam: "Bad Korean Reading Skills."
Review of "Bad Korean Reading Skills"
· Now I finally know how to read properly.
_ gowlrid [followright.com review]
· The thirst that had not been quenched for a long time was quenched.
You need to learn how to read properly and solve problems.
Solving a lot of past exam questions without knowing how to solve them didn't improve my grades.
If you know the method well and solve it, you can reduce your study time and live a smart exam life.
_ Bubbling [Yes24 Review]
· I have never gotten above level 3 in Korean language in my life.
I just read the text without adjusting the emphasis and just went with my gut feeling.
While reading this book, I initially wondered, "Is this even helpful?", but as I persevered and progressed, I experienced a new world.
So this is why I've been getting reading questions wrong, now I know why.
_ chloas3238 [Yes24 Review]
· This book is a must-read for anyone studying Korean for the exam.
This is not a workbook that only contains explanations of past exam questions.
This is a book that teaches you the thought process.
It's only in this book.
_ honeybear25 [Aladdin Review]
· After reading it twice, I was able to grasp the framework of the paragraphs through a structural approach to the given text, making it easier to solve problems and increasing my accuracy rate.
Really bad Korean reading skills are the standard for reading comprehension.

· I've always struggled with Korean and my reading comprehension was poor, but this book has been incredibly helpful! Highly recommended _ hu**** [Kyobo Bookstore Review]
· I studied for about three years, referring only to 『Bad Korean』 and 『National Information』, and ultimately got a score of 98 on the difficult 2019 CSAT.
I believe that the reason I was able to solve problems without wavering even when faced with increasingly long and complex texts was because I studied in the way suggested in those books and delved into the essence of the Korean language.
