Suneung college entrance exam day in South Korea

'시험 잘 보고와' 수능 50만 수험생 결전의 날 South Korea's college entrance exam also known as Suneung is underway. Some call this a nine-hour marathon that can determine students' futures. Kim Jung-sil reports. Test takers are arriving at a testing site in Seoul. It's the day that more than 508-thousand test takers have been preparing for. The Suneung, South Korea's college entrance exam. All the test takers started their first test, the Korean language test at around 8:40 a.m. Korea Standard Time. For some test takers, the Suneung will last for more than 9 hours. Parents and family members who came to wish the students good luck didn't leave the school gate for a long time. "It feels so special that my twins are taking Suneung that I have taken in the past. I hope my twin sons do well." "I also took my Suneung at this school. I was also very nervous at the time but when I entered college, the Suneung was only a beginning of a whole new world. I hope everyone does well and won't be too nervous as it's only the beginning." The Suneung is similar to America's SATs, France's Baccalaureate, and China's Gaokao. But some call it the most difficult test in the world or a "nine-hour marathon". The reason the Suneung is so important is that some major universities in Seoul, where many test takers aim to go , accept nearly 40% of freshmen by looking only at their Suneung results. The country basically comes to a standstill when the test begins. All the traffic in front of the testing sites is controlled and banks and public offices open later than usual to prevent congestion. The sound of planes or military exercises may bother students so these are put on hold for 25 minutes during the English listening test. Some might wonder why South Korea cares this much for a test. It's because there's the national feeling that this test can be make or break for the students. It can only be taken once a year and so they have to make sure they give it their best on test day and without anything getting in the way. This year is the third Suneung since the outbreak of COVID-19. And students who tested positive could take the test in specially designated schools for COVID patients. The Ministry of Education said 2,000 students with COVID-19 are taking their tests in those schools, while three others are taking their test in hospital.
