Today, November 15th, was the day of the national academic aptitude test for all examinees who want to go university. The test is taken by 580,000 students in 980 schools in 78 areas from 8:40 am to 6:05 pm.
There are 4 parts to test which are Korean, Mathematics, English and Social and Sciences. When they are taking the listening test, nobody can use a horn and vehicle should move slowly. The government also give directions to companies to delay attendance time for workers. The examinees' parents come to the examination school, and they prayed for them to get a good score.
The test is taken once a year since 1994, but many people have objections about the test, I also have some objections. The test is only taken one day.
In 2001, when I was a examine, one of my friends could not come to take the test, because of a bad flu. He had to give up the test that year and he had to wait one more year. It does not make any sense. If someone feels like they are going to die, they must still go to take the test. It means we cannot sick on that day. Someone cannot best condition, is it fare? I do not think so, the government should find another ways to test.
