I was usually brain dead for a couple of hours after SATs. I would go crazy if I had to take a 9 hour test that determined what I become in life. I thought the SAT was bad (about 3-4 hours).

"Many quarters have criticised that the high pressure of preparing for the CSAT attributes to the high suicide rates of Korean teenagers; while some others are criticising that the system are undermining the students’ creativity and other talents by overemphasising the exam results." I totally agree with this. Parents praying for their kids to perform well on a test? I don't want to lessen people's belief in spirituality at all. But fact is, the kids will perform well if they've prepared well. And if they don', it's certainly no reason to go commit suicide. And yes, all work and no play does stfle creativity, lol. “The Koreans however seem to be taking the whole idea to its extremity.”
