Tomorrow, November 13, 2014, is a big day for Korean high school students in their third year. It is equivalent to the senior year in American high schools. The exam is similar to the SAT and is called “Soo Neung”.  It is a “make it or break it” exam for students who wish to enter elite universities. Competition is fierce and it is a stressful day for both students and their relatives.  It occurs every year at the beginning of November and it is an important exam that will determine a young Korean’s future.  Results take about 1 month to process.  The examinees need to report to their designated testing locations by 8am KST and the exam usually finishes around 3pm KST. For more on Soo Neung, please visit my post from last year, when Seung Gi was cheering students on from Croatia: http://wp.me/p3JNUN-jQ
