Transcript of Students in South Korea sit 8 hour college entrance exam. #Exams #Students #BBCNews

Imagine doing all your exams in one day. South Korean students are bracing themselves for sunung. It's like A-Levels in the UK, but with a twist. Sunung is an eight-hour extravaganza of back-to-back exams. You only get 20 minutes between each exam and 50 minutes for lunch. Toilet breaks have to be strategic.

This exam, it feels like some gamble because we've only got one chance in one year.

This exam is so important, the whole of South Korea is impacted. Flights are grounded during certain hours. People come in to work late to limit rush hour traffic, and even the police are on standby to give lay students a blue light escort to their exams. This exam determines your entire future. It's a Korean rite of passage, and it decides what university you go to, your job, income, and even relationships. Students' whole lives determine by one day. Would you crack under the pressure?
