In South Korea there is no higher achievement than to be accepted by a prestigious university. As a result, many students prepare for these entrance exams from an early age, often studying up to 16 hours a day for years to take this test. This government-sponsored scholastic aptitude test will be administered on November 10 this year throughout the nation. REUTERS/Jo Yong-Hak (SOUTH KOREA - Tags: EDUCATION SOCIETY)
