The National Center for University Entrance Examinations announced on the 17th and 16th that there was a mistake in the question booklet prepared for the visually impaired in the public examination of the common university entrance test. In the seventh question of “ethics, politics / economy”, which is answered by reading the underlined materials, it is said that there was an error in the underlined part. All the two questions related to the underlined part are correct.

There is a special question booklet with enlarged letters, and two students nationwide used it. There were no mistakes in the questions in the regular booklet.
