"Stop eating glutinous rice cake and starch syrup".The college entrance exam gift is also popular for practicality. [Anchor Report]

Good job to all the test takers who took the CSAT today.

You must have had a hard time solving problems all day.

Did the various gifts you received with the support of cheer for you actually cheer you up?

I looked into the history of college entrance exam gifts.

In the 1980s, I applied to the university first and then went to that school to take the test.

Sticky rice cakes and taffy were basic gifts in the sense of sticking well to the university you applied for.

After the introduction of the CSAT system in 1993, it became important to take a good picture of the answer and solve it.

With the wish of taking a good picture and releasing it, fork and tissue appeared as gifts.

In the 2000s, vitamins, hot packs, blankets, and dark chocolate were popular for health as the well-being wind blew.

In 2009, when the swine flu was prevalent, many hand sanitizers and red ginseng were sold as gifts.

Since 2016, electronic devices have been banned, and analog wristwatches have become essential gifts.

In the 2020 College Scholastic Ability Test, which was held amid the outbreak of COVID-19, quarantine supplies and health foods were the main gifts.

These days, I looked at what the test takers prefer, and it turns out that they like practical items that can be used even after the test is over.

The distribution industry has also competed with unique marketing in line with the changing trend.
