Korean	from Topik 3 and above.

Admission score (maximum 30) = A+B+C+D, in which:

B is the sum of the average score of the 2 subjects other than Foreign Language (must include Math or Literature) in the admission combination of 6 semesters.

C is the Academy's incentive score for candidates who win the High School Excellent Student Award (if any).
