Exams Period In Korea

Do you know which period is now in Korea?
Sure Winter but this coming week  is the last for most of the Universities so that means FINAL EXAMS.

In this unwelcome season in every University's library  there is  a TONS of people and I am pretty sure that in the coffee shops not seats until the time to close time arrived.

If you live in the University's Dormitory you could receive  some gift as motivation to cheer up on the exams.  I received three Cups of  RAMEN to eat during the tough nights  in another Universities people receive things as carton of milk with bread or some french toast.

Anyway besides food, this season, all the students have a lot of  stress because for some students this finals imply to get an big" F" , for other students means graduation,  other ones start the University in a good way but if you got a good grades on the midterms you can relax a little more than others and don't get much stress as the students who received a bad grade.

But there is one EXAM that is the mother of the EXAMS. That is the " EXAM-Hell".
All young Koreans now the meaning of this exam.

" Exam-Hell" is a really tough exam that for most of the Koreans decide the future, economic status, friends, etc. a lot of thing just in one exam, isn't it?. That means a lot of stress for the future of the students and they are that time with not more that 19 years old.

I will leave a link with more details about the exam but for encourage you to read it; I should tell you that in Korea for one HOUR they stop the AIR TRAFFIC ... YES AIR TRAFFIC  because in the " EXAM-hell" they have an listening part and there are schools near the airport and the noise of  departing and landing of the planes could interfere or affect the listening

Here  is a complete document with more DETAILS ...CHECK IT OUT
