Accordingly, the number of recruitments in 2020 will total 679, an increase of 27.3% compared to the number selected in 2019. This reflects the phenomenon that the role of professional school counselors is essential for the educational scene due to the diversification, seriousness, and generalization of problems in school such as school violence, self-harm and suicide, and abandonment of study.

Of the 20 assessments, 36.62% were given in two factors, but no questions were given in the eight evaluation content elements. As a result of analyzing the percentage of questions, 60.56% focused on the ‘practical practice of psychological testing,’ 23.94% on the ‘the theory of psychological testing,’ and 15.50% on the ‘report preparation, diagnosis and response guidelines’. The question type was given 63.38% of the choice/write type, and the narrative/write type was given 36.62%. Most of the overlapping questions were based on the interpretation of psychological tests (personality assessment, intelligence evaluation, career inventory, etc.) to diagnose or consult the types of complex problems. Finally, based on the results of this study, several proposals were added to ensure fairness and validity as a national exam for the recruitment of professional school counselors.
