Pressure vs support
| Better to avoid | Try instead |
|---|---|
| You have to pass this time | Just show what you’ve already done |
| Don’t make any mistakes | Skip what you don’t know, start with what you do |
| Tell me your score | Let’s get food when it’s over |
| Everyone’s counting on you | Whatever happens, I’m on your side |
One-liners by relationship
- To your kid — "Big breakfast, and the rest is what you’ve practiced."
- To a friend — "Text me when you’re out, dinner’s on me."
- To a younger cousin or colleague — "Nerves mean you prepared."
When to send
| When | Why |
|---|---|
| Early evening the night before | Late messages can disturb sleep |
| Exam morning | Family only, and short; phones may be handed in at the venue |
| Evening after | One more "well done", regardless of how it went |
In Korea, the national college entrance exam (CSAT) for 2027 admission is on Thursday, November 19, 2026, per the Ministry of Education. For any exam, check the admission ticket and official notices for arrival time and banned items. For the night before, see what time to sleep before an exam.
