Step 1: Understand SNU’s Admission Requirements
SNU evaluates applicants based on:
✔ Academic Grades (Especially STEM subjects for science majors)
✔ Standardized Test Scores (If applicable, e.g., SAT, AP, or Korean proficiency for international students)
✔ Extracurriculars & Personal Statement (Research, Olympiads, leadership)
Since you mentioned struggling in the exam, let’s focus on subject-wise improvement.
Step 2: Subject-Specific Strategies to Boost Your Marks
1. Myanmar
If this is your native language, focus on essay structure, grammar, and literary analysis.
How to improve: Practice past papers & model answers.
2. English
SNU requires strong English proficiency (TOEFL 80+/IELTS 6.0+).
Weak areas?
Reading/Writing: Practice summarizing academic texts.
Listening/Speaking: Watch TED Talks, take mock TOEFL tests.
3. Mathematics
Key for SNU! Calculus, Algebra, and Problem-Solving are crucial.
If you struggled:
Focus on high-weightage topics (Functions, Probability, Trigonometry).
Use Khan Academy or past SNU entrance papers.
4. Chemistry
Problem Areas?
Organic Chem: Memorize reaction mechanisms.
Calculations: Practice stoichiometry & thermodynamics.
Study Hack: Use mind maps for periodic trends.
5. Physics
Most Challenging?
Mechanics & Electromagnetism are SNU’s focus areas.
Solve numerical problems daily (e.g., projectile motion, circuits).
6. Biology
If theory-heavy:
Focus on diagrams (e.g., human anatomy, cell division).
Use mnemonics for processes (e.g., DNA replication steps).
Step 3: Damage Control (If You Did Poorly)
Talk to Teachers – Ask where you lost marks & request re-evaluation if possible.
Retake Opportunity? – Some schools allow retests or extra credit.
Compensate with Other Strengths – If one subject is weak, excel in others.
Step 4: Long-Term Plan for SNU Admission
Target Scores: Aim for top 5% in your class (SNU is highly competitive).
Alternative Pathways:
SNU International Admissions (Less exam-focused, more holistic)
Korean Language Prep (If applying via Korean-track, TOPIK Level 5+ needed)
Final Motivation
You can still get into SNU even if this exam didn’t go well! Many students rebound by:
✅ Analyzing mistakes → Custom study plan
✅ Grinding past papers → Familiarity with SNU’s style
✅ Joining study groups → Peer learning
