Recommended reading material include this short photo essay about 수능 from a Korean high school student. For that matter, SeoulGlow posted a video a few years back that’s pretty interesting to watch (alt link). Of course, KC101’s advanced audio blog has more on the subject. Also, 현우 produced a regular audio blog that covers the same topic from a slightly different angle, too. [...] […] Want to brush up on your 수능 knowledge?

This is interesting indeed, huh? I wish we had a better testing system for college entrance. :-( But I really think highly of all the sincere effort that all the high school students in Korea are making for their future, regardless of how fair or efficient the testing system is.

So here I am in 용산 but am unable to browse the cool electronics stores that 현우 씨 has told us all about. We board the train and arrive in 여천 at about 4:15am. I believe there was a big exam that Friday and so the train was absolutely packed, standing room only for most of the trip with students returning to their homes. We had seats. I tried to sleep most of the trip. There are no more taxis waiting at the train station when we get there so we lug all of our stuff down to the main road and catch two taxis to the hotel. Our driver is not very talkative. He is just starting his shift. I am not feeling too talkative either. I’ve been up for quite some time.

It meant that the teacher could find the time to sit down and help you if you needed it. In my last year of highschool, I transferred to a much larger school so that I could study part-time instead of full-time, and the classes were huge. I didn't like it at all, the teachers never had time to help everyone in class. Yeah, I always really liked it being that small.

That's very small. I would prefer such a school to something that is too big. We had 50 students in one class :-( Wow. 20-30 students per grade? That’s very small.

They didn't offer Korean when I was learning, either. My school was tiny (20-30 students per grade), and we only had one language teacher, who taught German and French.

I seriously think that the students should be given more than one chances to sit the test because one bad luck and that might take one more year . :-( But other than that - it's a very comprehensive test so your score doesn't change all of a sudden on the exam day unless you're sick or very unlucky.
