Title : Students sit for state-run college entrance examination

This story is about 'College entrance exam'. Nearly 600,000 high school third students and graduates took the yearly state-run college entrance exam yesterday, as government officials worked late to reduce traffic for exam takers and military flights were halted to minimize noise near exam venues. Police mobilized motorcycles to help transport some late exam takers, and the military halted flight operations and banned shooting drills near the test venues for fear of distracting the students taking an English language listening comprehension test.

I choose this article because it needs to change fairly.

My opinion on 'College entrance exam' is really not good method. Most of high school third graders take it every year in Korea. If they take this exam at 9:00am, they can go home about 6:00pm. It's crazy! It estimates their ability just at once. They have just one chance. It's unfair. We need to change system about college entrance exam. This year, my cousin took it. He studies very well, but he usually has heavy mind about it. Actually, I've never taken this exam. If I have to take it, maybe I couldn't do that. My personality is very sensitive, so when I do something difficult, I usually have much stress. I hope that new system occurs about it as soon as possible. I don't want to see laborious exam takers any more.
