Over 630,000 applicants to take college entrance exam on Thursday 내일 수능 63만여명

It′s that time of year again in Korea. Nerves are frayed and the studying is even more intense... as there′s only one more day before hundreds of thousands of students take their university entrance exam... or Suneung as it is called here. Over 630-thousand people will be taking the test on Thursday at more than 12-hundred test sites across the country. The exam will begin after eight a.m. and finish at around five in the afternoon. To ease the traffic burden for test takers in the morning,... many workers will clock in an hour later than usual and extra buses and subway trains will be laid on. The country′s stock market will also open at 10 a.m. instead of 9 a.m. Planes at Korea′s airports will also be grounded for 35 minutes in the afternoon,... during the listening section of the English language test.
